Inter Milan achieved a narrow 1-0 victory over Genoa at San Siro, with Lautaro Martinez scoring the only goal of the match. The game saw little action in the first half, but finally, in the 78th minute, Martinez headed home a corner from Hakan Calhanoglu, extending his goal tally to 10 for the season and tying him in sixth place on Inter's all-time Serie A scorers list. This win puts Inter temporarily at the top of the Serie A table with 57 points, ahead of Napoli who play on Sunday.
Martinez's goal was his 10th in Serie A this season, making him the first foreign player to score 10 or more goals in six different seasons for Inter.
The opening half offered little in the way of chances or entertainment, highlighting the disciplined defense of Genoa against an attacking Inter side.
Genoa were unable to find a response late on, staying 12th in the table with 30 points, while Inter momentarily sit top with 57 points.
This victory puts Inter one clear of Napoli, enhancing the upcoming clash between the top two teams, scheduled for March 1.
