AS Roma 2-2 Inter: two-goal lead undone by Martínez's brace
AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- xG 1.66 v 2.86: Inter had the better chances
- Roma led for around 73 minutes but drew
- Martínez had 5 shots and scored twice
A two-goal cushion disappeared after the break
Manu Koné scored in the 6th and 37th minutes to put Roma 2-0 up at the break. Inter pulled one back straight after the restart, in the 46th minute, and levelled in the 79th. Roma were in front for around 73 minutes, yet left with one point from a match they had largely led.
Roma shot more, Inter shot better
Roma had the greater number of shots, but their xG per shot was only 0.09. Inter's was 0.18. The scoreline was level, yet each Inter effort carried more weight, and the visitors also finished ahead on total xG. On the numbers, a draw looks a fair outcome for Roma.
Inter won it with less of the ball than usual
Inter had 51% possession, well below their season average of 65.6% across five matches. Even so, their xG per shot was higher than their average of 0.11. Roma faced 16 shots, far more than their average over the same five matches, so a side that had been tight at the back was opened up here.
The 79th-minute leveller ended Roma's lead
Roma made three changes in the 60th minute, Koné among them, and conceded the equaliser in the 79th. That goal turned a 2-1 match back to 2-2 and was worth +1.0 FN xPts. It was Martínez's fourth league goal of the season. Both sides finished on 13 points, with Roma still first and Inter second.
Player of the match
Lautaro Martínez 8.6Dominant
He scored twice from five shots, two on target, and led the FN Score.
Martínez turned both of his shots on target into goals. His 46th-minute strike reopened a match that looked gone at 2-0, and his equaliser in the 79th was worth +1.0 FN xPts, the largest value of any moment in the match. Two tackles and an interception added to a contribution that was not only about goals.

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
