Lautaro Martinez scores a masterpiece, Inter Milan narrowly defeats Asian team

Lautaro Martinez scored a beautiful goal as Inter Milan came from behind to beat Urawa Red Diamonds in stoppage time. This was the first win for the UEFA Champions League runners-up at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

Despite being rated higher, Inter did not have a smooth start when their opponent from Japan broke through in the 11th minute. Ryoma Watanabe took advantage of a mistake by Inter's defense to score accurately, opening the unexpected score for Urawa.

The early goal forced Inter to push up their formation and control most of the first half. However, despite creating many chances, the blue-black strikers still lacked efficiency in finishing, preventing them from equalizing before the break.

Entering the second half, coach Cristian Chivu was forced to change tactics by sending Sucic, Mkhitaryan and Bastoni onto the field to increase pressure.

However, it was not until the 78th minute that Inter equalized thanks to a beautiful volley from captain Lautaro Martinez from a corner kick.

The drama reached its climax in the 90+2 minute when Carboni – a substitute – fired a neat shot, sealing a 2-1 victory for Inter.

This result helped the Serie A representative rise to the top of Group E with 4 points, while Urawa Red Diamonds were officially eliminated from the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup after two consecutive losses.
