Carlos Augusto opens the scoring, Lautaro seals the victory. Gasperini sent off as Atalanta struggles to keep up

Inter continues its relentless push towards the Serie A title with a commanding 2-0 win over Atalanta. Goals from Carlos Augusto and Lautaro Martinez secured another crucial three points, extending Simone Inzaghi’s lead at the top of the table.

The visitors started aggressively, with Thuram hitting the post early on. Atalanta responded with a strong header from Pasalic, forcing a brilliant save from Sommer. The match remained balanced until the second half, when Inter broke the deadlock: after a brief stoppage due to a medical emergency in the stands, Calhanoglu delivered a precise corner, allowing Carlos Augusto to rise above the defense and nod the ball home.

Atalanta’s hopes faded when Ederson was sent off, leaving Gasperini’s side a man down. Struggling to create chances, they were punished in stoppage time when Barella played a perfect through ball to Lautaro Martinez, who calmly slotted in the second goal. Gasperini protested the red card decision, but the gulf between the two teams was evident.

Inter celebrates its eighth consecutive victory, despite concerns over Dumfries' injury and Bastoni’s suspension for the next match. After the international break, the Nerazzurri will host Udinese at San Siro, while Atalanta faces a tough test against Fiorentina in Florence.
