Inter Milan delivered a strong performance, defeating Cagliari 2-0 in a Serie A away match. The team took control from the start, with captain Lautaro Martínez scoring an early goal. Francesco Pio Esposito later added a second to secure all three points for the visitors.
The win was built on Inter’s early pressure and consistent control of the game. They successfully limited Cagliari’s attack for most of the match while creating several scoring opportunities themselves. The result highlights Inter’s growing confidence on the road and continues their impressive record against Cagliari in recent league meetings.
⚽️ Inter’s Strong Start
From the first whistle, Inter showed great intensity. They pressed Cagliari high up the pitch, making it difficult for the home side to build any rhythm. Their dominance paid off in the ninth minute when Alessandro Bastoni delivered a perfect cross for Lautaro Martínez, who headed the ball into the net. Inter continued to create chances, with both Martínez and Marcus Thuram testing the Cagliari defence throughout the first half.
🏃♂️ Cagliari’s Efforts to Fight Back
Cagliari came out with more energy in the second half, trying to disrupt Inter’s control of the game. However, Inter remained the more dangerous team. Hakan Calhanoglu came close to doubling the lead, but his shot hit the post. Shortly after, Cagliari’s goalkeeper Elia Caprile made an excellent save to deny a powerful shot from Marcus Thuram, keeping his team in the match.
✅ Sealing the Win
As the game went on, Cagliari began to show signs of tiredness. Although they had a good chance when a header from Michael Folorunsho hit the woodwork, their attacks lacked precision. Inter capitalized on this, and Francesco Pio Esposito scored his first Serie A goal to make it 2-0, confirming the win. Throughout the match, Henrikh Mkhitaryan played a key role in midfield, controlling the pace and helping Inter secure a well-deserved victory.
