Inter demonstrated that squad rotation has little impact, securing a resounding 4-0 victory on the road against Lecce. Notably, Davide Frattesi, Stefan de Vrij, and Lautaro Martinez, who reached a milestone of 101 Serie A goals, were among the standout performers.
The opening goal came when Kristjan Asllani delivered a precise through ball with the outside of his boot, allowing Lautaro Martinez to exploit the offside trap. Martinez skillfully navigated past Wladimiro Falcone, reaching a landmark 100 Serie A goals in just 196 appearances.

Inter extended their lead as Yann Bisseck initiated a move from the back, leading to Alexis Sanchez’s delivery for Frattesi to tap in.
Shortly after, Frattesi orchestrated the third goal, delivering a well-timed pass for Lautaro Martinez to slide in. Despite suspicions of offside, the goal stood. Stefan de Vrij added to the tally with a glancing header from a Dimarco corner, securing a convincing 4-0 lead.
Lecce had their moments, with Roberto Piccoli and Lameck Banda attempting shots, but the Inter defense held firm. Falcone made crucial saves, including denying a deflected Marko Arnautovic effort. In the final moments, Inter had a chance to make it 5-0, but Denzel Dumfries surprisingly turned a free header wide from Barella’s cross.
