Lautaro Martinez Breaks Scoring Slump in Inter Milan’s Victory

Lautaro Martinez Breaks Scoring Slump in Inter Milan’s Victory

Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez finally found the back of the net in Serie A after a nearly two-month drought. The Argentine striker scored the second goal in Inter’s 3-0 triumph over Cagliari on Saturday evening, marking his first league goal since November 3.

Martinez capitalized on a precise cross from Nicolo Barella, slotting the ball home from close range. This goal came after Alessandro Bastoni’s opener and was followed by Hakan Calhanoglu’s second-half penalty, sealing a comprehensive win for Inter at the Unipol Domus stadium.

The Inter skipper could have potentially scored twice, had he not missed a clear opportunity in the first half. This goal brings Martinez’s tally to six goals and three assists in 15 Serie A appearances this season, though it falls short of his impressive record of 15 goals and four assists at the same stage last season.

Martinez’s return to scoring form is a welcome boost for Inter Milan as they continue their campaign in Serie A and other competitions. The striker’s ability to find the net consistently will be crucial for the team’s aspirations in the remainder of the season.
