Martinez then completed the turnaround with a stoppage-time winning goal in the 91st minute [1, 2, 3, 4]. His decisive strike extended Inter’s perfect Serie A start, with the team now unbeaten after three wins from three matches [1, 2, 4]. Martinez reflected on the result, saying, "I’m happy we managed to fight back, that was missing last year. Every year we are raising the bar and trying to show that on the pitch" [4].
Inter coach Cristian Chivu described the game as "a beautiful and entertaining match to watch, a great advert for Italian football." He noted that both teams played openly after the equalizer and saw numerous chances at both ends [4].
