Inter Milan tops Serie A following Martinez's late goal against Genoa

Inter Milan secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Genoa, with Lautaro Martinez scoring the decisive goal late in the match, propelling the reigning champions to the top of the Serie A table. The match at San Siro was marked by a lack of quality, as both teams struggled to create significant chances, with the first shot on target coming in the 65th minute. Martinez's header from a corner in the 78th minute was enough to clinch the win, marking his 10th goal of the season and solidifying his place in Inter's history as the first foreign player to score 10 or more goals in six different Serie A seasons. Despite the loss, Genoa showcased a resilient performance under coach Patrick Vieira, maintaining their position comfortably above the relegation zone. The victory puts pressure on Napoli, who are scheduled to play Como, setting the stage for an anticipated clash between the top two teams. Inter's victory underscores their title aspirations as they continue to battle for the Scudetto.
