Club Brugge win at San Siro
Club Brugge beat Inter Milan 4-3 at San Siro on Tuesday, 13 October, in the second matchday of the Champions League. German U21 striker Nicolò Tresoldi scored all three of his side's goals, starting with a penalty in the 30th minute. Lautaro Martinez had equalised for Inter in the 44th minute, but Tresoldi restored Brugge's lead after a misunderstanding between Inter's goalkeeper and his defence let Carlos Forbs knock the ball through to an empty net. Tresoldi scored again in the 63rd and 74th minutes, and Romeo Vermant made it 4-2 in the 87th minute.
Lautaro Martinez scored a second time in the 81st minute, and Ange-Yoan Bonny pulled one back in the 90+3rd minute, but neither goal was enough to save Inter. The 22-year-old Tresoldi has not yet decided whether to play for Italy or Germany at senior level, and Italy would like to win him over. The German U21 side had already secured its place at the 2027 European Championship in Albania and Serbia.
