Club Brugge’s Milan miracle sees Tresoldi hat‑trick lift them past Inter

Club Brugge turned a quiet first half into a night of legend at the San Siro, beating Inter 4‑3 after Nicolò Tresoldi completed a hat‑trick, while the match also saw Jorne Spileers and Hakan Çalhanoglu each receive a Geel card.

Early dominance and the opening penalty

Inter controlled the opening twenty‑five minutes but created no clear chances. Brugge’s first real threat came when Tresoldi struck the post, only to be rewarded minutes later when Carlos Forbs’ sprint led to a penalty that Tresoldi coolly converted, putting the visitors ahead 0‑1.

Inter responded before the break, with Lautaro Martínez equalising after a brief offside review, making the score 1‑1 at the half‑hour mark.

Second‑half drama and the hat‑trick

The second half erupted into a goal‑fest. After a series of saves from Inter’s goalkeeper, Forbs delivered a long ball that Tresoldi turned past the line for his second, 1‑2. A further chance saw Virgili hit the post before Brugge pressed on, and a swift move involving Forbs and Seys set up Tresoldi’s third, sealing a 1‑3 lead.

Inter fought back, with Lautaro Martínez restoring parity at 2‑3 and Romeo Vermant pulling one back for Brugge at 2‑4. In stoppage time, Ange‑Yoan Bonny struck to make it 3‑4, but the final whistle confirmed Brugge’s stunning victory.

The match featured in the club’s Voetbal programme and was highlighted across the Jupiler Pro League, Challenger and Champions sections, with references also appearing in the Europa and Conference listings, underscoring its significance across the broader sporting calendar that includes Tennis and Formule events.
