"It could have been a very different story, with Yann Sommer having to make a smothering save to deny Promise David with just over two minutes on the clock, with Christian Burgess seeing his effort blocked on the line by Martinez moments later. Inter settled into the game, though, and found their breakthrough 41 minutes in, with Denzel Dumfries rifling into the roof of the net from close range after meeting Yann Bisseck's nod down from a corner."
"Just five minutes later, Martinez got their second, latching onto Pio Esposito's squared pass to guide a low finish past Kjell Scherpen and into the back of the net. That goal took the sting out of USG, with Inter dominating in the second half, and they were gifted their chance for a third goal as Kevin Mac Allister handled the ball during a challenge with Martinez. Hakan Calhanoglu confidently converted from 12 yards."
"Pio Esposito then missed a golden chance to add another, bundling his effort from the edge of the six-yard box wide of an empty net. But he did get their fourth in the 76th minute, sending a lovely low finish through Fedde Leysen's legs to net his first Champions League goal. Inter have now won all three of their Champions League games this season without conceding a goal, the very first time they have done that in the competition's history."
Inter beat Union Saint-Gilloise 4-0, continuing a flawless Champions League start with three wins and no goals conceded. Denzel Dumfries opened scoring in the 41st minute after Yann Bisseck's header, and Lautaro Martinez added a second from a Francesco Pio Esposito assist just before halftime. Hakan Calhanoglu converted a spot kick after a Kevin Mac Allister handball, and Pio Esposito scored a low finish in the 76th minute for his first Champions League goal. Yann Sommer produced early saves, and Inter's 4-0 margin equals the club's biggest Champions League win.
