Como-Inter: Results, Ratings & Reactions | Coppa Italia 2024

Inter Milan and Como played to a 0-0 draw in Serie A action on Sunday, March 8, 2026, a result that extends Inter’s strong league form despite the absence of captain Lautaro Martínez due to a muscle injury.

The stalemate at Stadio San Siro was not a straightforward encounter for Inter, according to coach Cristian Chivu. “It wasn’t an Inter-style match, but it had to be played like this,” Chivu told Sky Sport, offering a terse assessment of the tactical demands of the fixture. Chivu also indicated that Martínez’s return to the lineup remains uncertain, stating he would be out for a while longer.

Lautaro Martínez, currently 28 years old, has been a key figure for Inter since joining the club in 2018. He has scored against 30 different Serie A teams, a milestone he recently acknowledged as “surreal.” Despite his current injury, Martínez remains under contract with Inter until June 30, 2029, having recently extended his contract in August 2024.

The match against Como saw Inter dominate possession, but they were unable to break down a resilient Como defense. Vojvoda of Como was noted for his performance, unsettling the Inter attack, while Pio Esposito of Como and Nico Paz were less impactful. Inter’s Augusto delivered a concentrated performance, while Diouf struggled to craft an impression. Martínez was given a rating of 5.5.

Inter previously secured a decisive 4-0 victory over Como on December 6, 2025, with Lautaro Martínez scoring all four goals after being substituted on in the 55th minute. Prior to that match, on December 7, 2025, Martínez emphasized the team’s “desire” following the win, also revealing he has been working with a psychologist to manage criticism. He also highlighted the team’s growth under Chivu.

Lautaro Martínez’s injury is expected to keep him sidelined until March 15, 2026, according to Transfermarkt.
