The 20-year-old supernova passed the ball, Lautaro won the first place in the Champions League, and Inter Milan won 4-0 to declare the defending champion

Inter Milan, who changed coaches during the offseason, performed far less than outside expectations in this summer's Club World Cup and the early stages of the new Serie A season, making new coach Chivu questionable. However, under his training, the Nerazzurri has gradually improved. After the first seven rounds of Serie A, the ranking has risen to second place, only 1 point behind the city rival AC Milan. This week, Inter Milan faces the test of a double match, and they go to the away game to challenge the Belgian team San Giros United in midweek.

In this game, the Nerazzurri’s 20-year-old Esposito’s passing and shooting achievements, coupled with goals from Dumfries, Lautaro Martinez and Calhanoglu, helped Inter Milan beat San Giros United 4-0 away from home.

Inter Milan, worth as much as 690 million euros and ranked 9th in world football, far surpasses San Giros United, which is worth only a fraction of itself, 90 million euros, in terms of overall competitiveness of the team and experience in the Champions League. This is why fans before the game believed that the Nerazzurri can easily win away from home.

As Inter Milan will face the defending champion Naples in Serie A at the weekend, Chivu also adjusted the starting lineup in this game with a huge disparity in strength. In the 352 formation, Sommer continued to guard the goal, Bisek, Devery and Bastoni built the defense line, Dumfries, Fratesi, Calhanoglu, Zelinski and Augusto lined up in the midfield, with the double arrows being Lautaro partnered with Esposito.

The home team, which was not favored before the game, created a very threatening shot in the 3rd minute. David continuously passed the defensive players in the counterattack, forced his way into the penalty area and pushed the shot into the far corner, which was bravely saved by Sommer. Two minutes later, San Giros United once again threatened Inter Milan's goal. Burgess's volley was cleared by Lautaro's goal line, and then Khalili's follow-up shot was pushed over the crossbar by Sommer.

After holding on to the home team's opening three blows, Inter Milan began to show its strength on the offensive end. After the left corner kick was taken in the 41st minute, Bisek headed the ball to the goal. Dumfries hit the goal close at hand and broke through the San Giros United goal, helping Inter Milan win. Leading 1-0, before the end of the half, Inter Milan expanded their lead. After Lautaro received Esposito's selfless ball from the left, he easily pushed and scored, rewriting the score to 2-0. Lautaro Martinez has scored 11 goals in the UEFA Champions League in 25 years, ranking first in football during the same period.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Inter Milan further expanded its lead and ended the suspense of victory early. In the 52nd minute, the United San Giros defender gave a handball in the penalty area. The referee decisively gave Inter Milan a penalty kick. Calhanoglu made a steady penalty and the score reached 3-0.

Eight minutes later, Esposito missed the chance to score when facing an empty goal. Fortunately, in the 77th minute, Esposito made up for his regret. After receiving an inverted triangle pass from Boni from the left, Esposito outflanked the goal and made the score 4-0.
