Inter Stage Stunning Comeback to Beat Napoli 3-2

Inter produced a remarkable second-half comeback to defeat Napoli 3-2 at home, with Lautaro Martínez scoring in the 91st minute to preserve the champions' perfect start to their Serie A title defence.
Napoli appeared firmly in control after Matteo Politano and Rasmus Højlund put the visitors two goals ahead shortly after half-time. Inter, however, responded with a determined fightback that completely changed the game.
Martínez pulled one goal back before Marcus Thuram levelled the contest with eight minutes of normal time remaining. Both sides then pushed for a winner, but it was Inter who found the decisive moment when Martínez struck again in the final minute.
Martínez Sparks Incredible Inter Comeback
The first half ended without a goal, but the match exploded into life after the interval.
Politano opened the scoring in the 50th minute, reacting quickest to a rebound to give Napoli the advantage. Just three minutes later, Højlund doubled the visitors' lead after collecting Giovanni Di Lorenzo's pass and firing a powerful effort from the edge of the penalty area.
Inter responded through their captain. Martínez produced a clinical finish to cut Napoli's advantage to one and give the home side renewed belief.
The momentum shifted further when Thuram headed in from Carlos Augusto's delivery eight minutes before the end of normal time, bringing Inter level at 2-2.
Late Drama at San Siro
With the scores level, the contest became an end-to-end battle as both teams created opportunities to claim victory.
Inter eventually found the breakthrough deep into stoppage time. Martínez reacted at the back post from a corner and stabbed the ball into the net in the 91st minute to complete the turnaround.
The victory extended Inter's 100% start to the Serie A season and gave them another important result in their title defence.
Roma Also Complete Late Comeback
Roma also secured a dramatic victory on Saturday, scoring twice after the 90th minute to beat Atalanta 2-1 at the Stadio Olimpico.
Atalanta looked set to leave with all three points after Éderson opened the scoring. Roma refused to settle for defeat, however, as Mario Hermoso restored parity with a looping header.
Matías Soulé then completed the turnaround in the 93rd minute, finding the net after a loose ball in the penalty area to give Roma all three points.
Torino Rally to Beat Fiorentina
Torino claimed their first victory under Ignazio Abate after recovering from a goal down to defeat Fiorentina 2-1 away from home.
Fiorentina took the lead when Mateo Pellegrino's long-range attempt slipped beyond goalkeeper Lucas Perri.
Perri later made several important saves to keep Torino in contention before the visitors turned the game around. Rolando Mandragora equalised with a strike from outside the box before Ché Adams completed the comeback from close range in the 82nd minute.
Bayern Held to Goalless Draw
Bayern Munich dropped points in the Bundesliga after being held to a 0-0 draw away at Schalke.
The visitors dominated possession but struggled to create clear openings, while goalkeeper Loris Karius produced several excellent saves to keep Bayern out.
Harry Kane and Michael Olise started on the bench, while Jamal Musiala made his first league appearance of the season.
The result also marked Bayern's first Bundesliga game without scoring since their draw against Bayer Leverkusen in February 2025.
Nwaneri Helps Dortmund Complete Comeback
Ethan Nwaneri played a key role as Borussia Dortmund overturned a two-goal deficit to defeat Hoffenheim 3-2.
Hoffenheim led 2-0 after goals from Leon Avdullahu and Tim Lemperle, having been the stronger side for much of the opening hour.
Nwaneri, who joined Dortmund from Arsenal on a season-long loan on deadline day, entered after half an hour following an injury to Filippo Mane.
Serhou Guirassy reduced the deficit shortly after the hour mark before setting up Fábio Silva for Dortmund's equaliser five minutes later.
Nwaneri then completed the turnaround with four minutes of normal time remaining. The Arsenal loanee cut in from the left and saw his shot take a significant deflection off Albian Hajdari before finding the net.
Athletic Bilbao Humble Atlético Madrid
Athletic Bilbao recorded an emphatic 3-0 victory over Atlético Madrid at San Mamés.
Nico Williams, Robert Navarro and Oihan Sancet were all on target as Athletic secured consecutive victories under former Borussia Dortmund manager Edin Terzic.
The result marked a miserable afternoon for Diego Simeone's Atlético side, while Julián Álvarez returned from illness as a second-half substitute after his summer attempt to move to Barcelona.

Elversberg continued their impressive start to life in the Bundesliga with a 4-3 victory away to Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Gladbach had led twice and were 3-1 ahead in the second half, but Elversberg mounted another comeback. Felix Keidel made it 3-3 with 10 minutes remaining before Maurice Krattenmacher scored the winner in stoppage time.
Bayer Leverkusen responded strongly to their previous defeat by Elversberg, beating Union Berlin 4-0. Equi Fernández and Facundo Medina gave them a two-goal half-time lead before Jarell Quansah set up Patrik Schick for the third and Ibrahim Maza completed the scoring.
