"The hosts took the lead at the San Siro on the half-hour mark as they pounced on an error from Praha goalkeeper Jindrich Stanek. The goalkeeper's pass inside his box was intercepted by Martinez, who found the net with a first-time finish. And Inter doubled their lead just four minutes later when Marcus Thuram, who scored both goals in their 2-0 win over Ajax on MD1, assisted Dumfries as the Dutch defender turned the ball home at the near post."
"Inter produced 3.67 expected goals (xG) from 21 attempts, while they restricted Praha to 0.12 from three shots. Martinez has now netted three braces for Inter in the Champions League, the joint-most of any player in club history alongside both Adriano and Hernan Crespo, while only Alessandro Altobelli (36) has more goals for the Nerazzurri across major European competition than the Argentine forward (26)."
Inter won 3-0 against Slavia Praha at the San Siro, with Lautaro Martinez scoring twice and Denzel Dumfries converting a Marcus Thuram assist. The opening goal came from an intercepted goalkeeper pass by Jindrich Stanek, finished by Martinez, and a later Martinez finish from Alessandro Bastoni's cross sealed the result. Petar Sucic had a potential third denied by a last-ditch clearance from Stepan Chaloupek. Inter produced 3.67 expected goals from 21 attempts while restricting Praha to 0.12 from three shots. Inter now have two clean sheets and six points, and Martinez reached several Champions League scoring milestones.
