Inter Edge Kairat 2-1 To Stay Perfect in Champions League After Labored Showing

Chivu says he failed to instill the right mentality.

Overview

  • Lautaro Martinez scored on the stroke of half-time, Ofri Arad leveled from a corner, and Carlos Augusto hit a long-range winner at San Siro.
  • The goal conceded was Inter’s first of this Champions League campaign after three straight clean sheets.
  • Inter have four wins from four in the league-phase and sit on 12 points, moving closer to automatic last-16 qualification under the new format.
  • Cristian Chivu took responsibility for the flat display, explained Lautaro’s planned half-time withdrawal to manage minutes, and noted a tougher schedule ahead.
  • Carlos Augusto said the team must prove itself every time, while Italian outlets criticized the performance and highlighted off-nights for Denzel Dumfries and Davide Frattesi.
