Inter Milan & Brazil Ace Delivers Best Christmas Gift To Nerazzurri Manager In Serie A Win Vs Como | OneFootball

Carlos Augusto gave Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi a perfect Christmas gift in last night’s victory against Como.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInter1908, Augusto finally turned the corner following a stuttering start to the 2024/25 season.

Plagued by recurring fitness issues, Augusto couldn’t find his rhythm this term.

However, he’s seemingly heading in the right direction after regaining full fitness.

Inzaghi handed the 25-year-old only his third Serie A start this season last evening.

And the latter repaid that trust with a magnificent performance.

Inter failed to find a breakthrough in the first half.

But only three minutes after the break, Inzaghi’s charges breached Como’s defense.

Augusto scored a towering header, pouncing on Hakan Calhanoglu’s corner-kick delivery to put Inter in front.

The Brazilian was also on the scoresheet in last Monday’s 6-0 rout of Lazio.

Therefore, he has scored in back-to-back league games for the first time since joining Inter in the summer of 2023.

However, the Nerazzurri required his last-ditch defending to prevent Como from fighting their way back into the game.

Indeed, Augusto’s vital intervention on the back post left Edoardo Goldaniga fuming.

Augusto’s phenomenal showing helped Inter re-establish a three-point deficit on Serie A pacesetters Atalanta.
