Inter 3-2 Napoli Player Ratings: Lautaro Martínez Emerges As The Hero Once Again After Inter Come Back From Two Goals Behind to Continue Their Winning Run In The League

The two title contenders went head-to-head once again on matchday 3 of the Serie A 2026/27 season, as Inter hosted Napoli at the San Siro. The first half ended goalless, with both teams having enough chances to open the scoring.

Lautaro Martínez was kept out twice by Alex Meret, and Federico Dimarco hit the crossbar with his free kick for Inter Milan. The visitors had their chances through Frank Anguissa and Rasmus Højlund, but both of them were kept at bay by Josep Martínez.

The game came to life in the second half, as Matteo Politano pounced on a mistake from the Inter backline while playing out the ball, and although his first shot was blocked, he found the corner in the second attempt to put Gli Azzurri in the lead in the 50th minute.

Just three minutes later, Rasmus Højlund found the corner from the edge of the box, doubling the lead for SSC Napoli in no time. The Curva Nord went silent for a few minutes, but then rose for their captain, Lautaro Martínez, who tapped home from close range off a smart assist from Dimarco in the 56th minute.

Marcus Thuram levelled things for the Nerazzurri in the 82nd minute with a sweet header, making the contest interesting for the last few minutes. People in the stands could sense that the wave had gone Inter's way, and they did come back with the winner from Lautaro Martínez in injury time to make it three in three in the league.
