Inter Milan Crush Union Saint-Gilloise to Stay Unbeaten

 

Brussels — Inter Milan maintained their flawless Champions League start with a commanding 4–0 win over Union Saint-Gilloise. Denzel Dumfries broke the deadlock early before Lautaro Martínez curled in a stunning strike from the edge of the box to double the lead before halftime.

After the break, a handball in the area gave Hakan Çalhanoğlu the chance to make it three from the spot, and substitute Francesco Esposito completed the rout late on. The Nerazzurri’s balance between attack and defence stood out once again, with goalkeeper Yann Sommer enjoying a quiet evening.

Simone Inzaghi lauded his players’ composure and pressing efficiency, saying the team “played with purpose and control in every phase.” Inter have now scored nine goals in three matches without conceding, highlighting a defensive solidity that mirrors their 2023-24 domestic form.

Union Saint-Gilloise, meanwhile, slumped to their second consecutive heavy defeat and now face a steep climb in the standings. Inter’s victory positions them among the tournament’s early contenders calm, clinical, and still unbreached at the back.
