Martínez rescues Inter with comeback draw in Rome

Inter and Roma delivered a match where the scoreboard got rewritten: the Nerazzurri fell behind early, conceded two before half-time, and still managed to take a 2-2 thanks to a powerful late comeback.

Comeback after 0-2

According to The Guardian, Manu Koné put Roma ahead in the opening stages—before the first six minutes—and then added a second to make it look almost done at half-time. Inter struggled for long spells in the first period, even if there were warning signs: Paulo Dybala threatened twice, and Marcus Thuram couldn’t finish his big chance to level in the 26th minute.

The turning point arrived as Inter began to wake up. Koné struck again, but the assistant’s flag initially cut the celebrations short; after VAR intervention, Davide Massa confirmed the goal.

Lautaro’s double, point shared

The response came right after the break. The Guardian reports that Lautaro Martínez pulled one back in under a minute with a slightly deflected finish from Thuram’s pull-back. Then, as the game seemed to be winding down, the crucial moments arrived in the box: Svilar made a sharp save from Martínez, and from the recycled chance the Argentine controlled and finished to secure the 2-2.

Before kickoff, both sides paid tribute following the death of former Inter and Italy playmaker Sandro Mazzola at the age of 83, with Inter also wearing black armbands. The same report also rolled in other European notes, including Bundesliga leaders Bayern’s 7-0 and Freiburg dropping points at Frankfurt (2-2), plus Niclas Füllkrug extending his form for Werder Bremen.
