Club Brugge and their young forward Nicolo Tresoldi stunned Inter Milan 4-3 in their Champions League match on Tuesday. The 22-year-old Italian-German striker scored the first three goals for the Belgian side. Former Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer made a surprise return to the San Siro as the Brugge goalkeeper. Inter opened the scoring just ten minutes in when Lautaro Martinez shot past Marcus Thuram.
Tresoldi equalized just before halftime after Hakan Calhanoglu fouled Carlos Forbs, resulting in a penalty. With just over an hour played, Tresoldi capitalized on a goalkeeping error by Inter, scoring his second goal. He completed his hat-trick with a quarter of an hour left, reacting quicker than Inter's defense. Martinez had provided Inter with a lifeline just before the break, but Romeo Vernant restored Brugge's lead in the 87th minute.
The reigning Italian champions and Serie A leaders were left with zero points after losing 2-1 to Real Madrid in their European opener. Club Brugge, who suffered a 3-2 home defeat to Aston Villa, will host French club Lens next.
