(Football result) - Inter Milan easily overcame Union Saint-Gilloise 4-0, as Francesco Esposito netted his inaugural Champions League goal, aiding the blue and black side to maintain a perfect record after three matches and keep pace with PSG on the table.

Inter Milan continued to demonstrate their superior strength in the Champions League by effortlessly beating Union Saint-Gilloise 4-0 on Belgian soil. This victory allowed Inter to keep their winning streak intact after three rounds and remain in close pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain for the top spot in the group.

Facing a significantly weaker opponent, Inter fielded a strong lineup including stars like Lautaro Martinez, Hakan Calhanoglu, and Denzel Dumfries. The blue and black team quickly took control of the game and created numerous dangerous chances against the home side’s goal.

In the 17th minute, Inter broke the deadlock. From an attack down the right flank, the ball was delivered into the penalty area, where Denzel Dumfries appeared unmarked. The Dutch player calmly tapped the ball in close range to open the scoring for the Serie A representatives.

With the lead secured, Inter played with even more confidence. Before the first half ended, they doubled their advantage thanks to captain Lautaro Martinez. In the 43rd minute, the Argentine striker received the ball in space near the edge of the box and unleashed a powerful shot into the top corner, making it 2-0.

In the second half, Union Saint-Gilloise tried to push forward to reduce the deficit, but all their efforts were thwarted by Inter’s disciplined defense. Not only did Inter control the match, but they also consistently created threatening opportunities.

At the 62nd minute, a turning point came when the referee awarded Inter a penalty after VAR confirmed Kevin Mac Allister, brother of Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, handled the ball inside the box. From the spot, Hakan Calhanoglu calmly placed his shot into the left corner, extending the lead to 3-0.

Inter had another chance to increase their lead in the 72nd minute when Dumfries set up Francesco Esposito inside the 5-meter box. However, the 20-year-old striker missed the target with a shot considered one of the “biggest misses” of this Champions League season.

Still, Esposito didn’t have to wait long to redeem himself. In the 85th minute, from a quick attack on the right wing, Ange-Yoan Bonny delivered a low cross, and Esposito rushed in to tap the ball home precisely, sealing a 4-0 win for Inter Milan. This was his first Champions League goal and his third overall for the Milan club.

With this win, Inter Milan has 9 points from three matches, placing second in the group due to an inferior goal difference compared to PSG.
