Martinez strikes late to give Inter victory over Genoa in Serie A

Perhaps still staggering of last Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Juventus, Inter had most of the ball in the first half, but without being sharp or energetic enough to confuse a resolute Genua defense .

Joaquin Correa, who wore an injury during the last phases of the first period, was replaced during the break by Mehdi Taremi in the absence of Marcus Thuram, who missed because of an ankle problem.

However, it was more of the same at the beginning of the second half when Inter worked its way to promising areas before their death abandoned them, while Genoa could easily have taken the lead as Juventus Leenlee Fabio Miretti's ball for Juventus Leenlee Fabio Miretti A bit more accurate, where Francesco Acerbi returns to take on an essential challenge.

Inter could have continued in controversial circumstances, because they had a corner, despite the fact that Genoa Winger Alessandro Zanoli did not get a touch on the ball.

From the resulting set piece, Taremi's shuffled effort was sustained by Mattia Bani, before Benjamin Pavard's scissors were sent away by Nicola Leali.

That rare passage of excitement increased the volume of the inter supporters, with the opposite number of Inzaghi, former inter -midfielder Patrick Vieira, who soon took the opportunity to take a triple replacement to some legs in attacking areas to Frissen.

Genoa, however, started to feel as if they lived dangerously when Nicolo Barella thundered against Leali's Dwarsbalk in the 70th minute, and shortly after the header of Caleb Ekuban was blocked by former teammate Josep Martinez on the other side, Inter finally broke death while The Pinpoint Corner of Hakan Calhanoglu went home through a deflection through the tireless Lautaro Martinez.

The final phase did not all go the way of Inter, but they could have double their benefits while Taremi hit a shot directly to Leali, the Nerazzurri eventually claimed that their first home series is a clean sheet of 2025. In the meantime, Genoa will be encouraged by many aspects of their performance, but will remain 12th in the table.
