Inter Milan players celebrating Lautaro Martinez's winning goal against Napoli at San Siro stadium

Inter Milan Scores 90th-Minute Winner in Epic Comeback

🦸 Hero Alert

Down 2-0 with 30 minutes left, reigning Serie A champions Inter Milan rallied to beat Napoli 3-2 in a thriller at San Siro. Lautaro Martinez's dramatic stoppage-time goal capped one of the season's most exciting comebacks.

Sometimes the best moments in sports remind us why we never give up, even when everything looks lost.

Inter Milan proved that truth Sunday night at San Siro, fighting back from a two-goal deficit to snatch victory from Napoli in the final seconds. The reigning Serie A champions looked down and out after conceding twice in three second-half minutes, but refused to accept defeat.

The game started quietly with a scoreless first half. Then Napoli exploded after the break, taking the lead through Matteo Politano's low finish in the 50th minute.

Three minutes later, disaster struck for Inter in unusual fashion. The home defense stopped playing, assuming a loose ball was rolling out for a throw-in. But it stayed in bounds, and Rasmus Hojlund punished their lapse with a curled shot into the far corner.

Inter Milan Scores 90th-Minute Winner in Epic Comeback

That's when the magic began. England midfielder Curtis Jones, who came on at halftime after his recent move from Liverpool, helped spark the comeback. Just three minutes after Napoli's second goal, Federico Dimarco brilliantly kept an overhit cross in play and pulled it back for Martinez to score from close range.

The momentum shifted completely. Marcus Thuram hit the post before finally breaking through with a powerful header eight minutes from time. San Siro erupted as the score leveled at 2-2.

The Bright Side

In the 90th minute, Martinez bundled home from close range to complete the stunning turnaround. The Argentine striker celebrated wildly with Inter fans, capping a performance that showed exactly why his team are champions. Inter have now won all four matches to start their season and haven't lost at home in Serie A since November 2025.

For every team that's ever fallen behind, for every player who's ever doubted themselves at halftime, Inter's comeback is proof that the game isn't over until the final whistle.
