Tresoldi hat-trick fires Brugge past Inter Milan
MILAN: Club Brugge and their young forward Nicolo Tresoldi shocked Inter Milan 4-3 in the Champions League on Tuesday.
In a remarkable turn of events, Club Brugge secured a 4-3 victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday night. The Belgian side, featuring their young forward Nicolo Tresoldi, dominated the match with Tresoldi himself scoring the first three goals. Tresoldi, a 22-year-old Italian-German player, put Club Brugge ahead in the ten minute mark after Yann Sommer, a former Inter goalkeeper, made a return to the San Siro.
Marcus Thuram missed an early opportunity for Inter Milan, with his shot finding the post. The Belgian team responded when Tresoldi capitalized on a foul by Hakan Calhanoglu on Carlos Forbs, converting a penalty just before halftime. Another goal for Tresoldi followed after Inter's goalkeeper mishandled a ball, giving the Belgian striker a clear path to the goal.
Just before the break, Inter's Lautaro Martinez provided a lifeline for his team, narrowing the gap to 3-2 after a well-executed play involving Marcus Thuram and Federico Dimarco. However, the goal was short-lived as Romeo Vernant extended Club Brugge's lead in the 87th minute, cementing their victory.
Despite Martinez's consolation goal for Inter Milan in the 81st minute, the Argentine couldn't prevent Brugge from maintaining their perfect record after their 2-1 opening day loss against Real Madrid. Club Brugge will next host Lens in the league, while Inter Milan, currently leading Serie A, will be eager to bounce back against Shakhtar Donetsk in their upcoming home game.
