Inter Milan Beat AS Monaco 2–1 Despite Playing with 10 Men
Inter Milan pulled off a gritty 2–1 win over AS Monaco in a heated pre-season friendly, despite going down to ten men early in the first half. Goals from Lautaro Martínez and substitute Angelo-Johann Bonny helped the Nerazzurri turn the match around after an early setback.
The match was played in an unusual atmosphere. Local organizers had announced prior to kick-off that anyone wearing Inter shirts, scarves, or even blue-and-black clothing would be removed from the stadium — a move that left Inter Milan without any visible away support.
