Inter had 30 shots and 12 on target but still lost 4-3 to Club Brugge at San Siro on October 13, with Nicolò Tresoldi scoring three times to leave the Nerazzurri on zero Champions League points after two matches.
The result followed Inter’s 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid, and the latest loss again punished individual mistakes. Cristian Chivu’s side had plenty of attacking pressure, but defensive errors repeatedly opened the door for the visitors.
According to Football Italia’s match report, Tresoldi put Brugge ahead from the penalty spot in the 30th minute after Hakan Calhanoglu fouled Carlos Forbs during a counter-attack launched from an Inter corner. Lautaro Martínez levelled in the 44th minute, scoring his first Champions League goal since November 2025.
Inter’s captain struck again in the 81st minute after Petar Sucic’s shot was saved, but that only briefly revived the home side. Romeo Vermant restored Brugge’s two-goal cushion in the 87th, and Ange-Yoan Bonny curled in a late response at 90+3 as the Belgian side held on.
Tresoldi restored Brugge’s lead in the 63rd minute after Forbs got beyond Federico Dimarco and goalkeeper Josep Martínez was caught out. The striker completed his hat-trick 11 minutes later, reacting to the rebound after the Inter keeper saved Forbs’ attempt.
Forbs was involved again in the fourth goal, intercepting Djed Spence’s misplaced pass before sending Vermant through to finish. The sequence compounded a night in which Inter’s attacking volume did not protect them from costly lapses at the other end.
The performance renewed the focus on the defensive trade-offs under Chivu . Inter registered 30 attempts, compared with Brugge’s 18, but the visitors had eight shots on target to the home side’s 12 and made their chances count.
Club Brugge claimed their first win of this Champions League campaign after losing 3-2 to Aston Villa in their opening match. Inter, meanwhile, remain without a point after two games, with the 4-3 defeat adding urgency to their league-phase start.
