Lautaro Martinez's goal secured a 1-1 draw for Inter against Juve

The 26-year-old Lautaro Martinez was the saviour in Inter Milan's duel against Juventus. Martinez's one goal forced a 1-1 draw in the 2023/2024 Serie A match on Sunday. That additional goal not only saved Inter Milan, who had fallen behind to Juventus. But it also brings Argentine Martinez closer to a record that has stood for a long time at the Nerazzurri. Juventus and Inter Milan, who are currently competing in the top two positions in the 2023/2024 Serie A standings, had to settle for a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Stadium in the 13th league match. The results of the Derby d'Italia match also mean that Inter Milan remains at the top of the standings with a two-point advantage over Juventus.

Inter Milan initially had to see the home team score first. Dusan Vlahovic maximized a pass from Federico Chiesa to score a goal for Juventus in the 27th minute. However, thanks to Martinez's goal in the 33rd minute, which used a pass from Marcus Thuram, Inter Milan was able to survive defeat and not be overtaken by the Bianconeri in the 13th match.

As per reports, the goal against Juventus in the week of 13 Serie A Italian League 2023/2024 was the 27th goal scored by Lautaro Martinez in a Serie A match throughout the 2023 calendar year, meaning since January 1 2023. To date, only two players have ever scored more goals for Inter Milan in one calendar year. The two players are Diego Milito who scored 28 goals in 2012 and Christian Vieri who also scored 28 goals in 2001. Lautaro Martinez is only one goal behind his two predecessors. The star striker has already smashed 13 goals in Serie A so far.

The match against Juventus is the last that Inter Milan played in November 2023 in the Italian league. However, Lautaro Martinez still has five matches that can be maximized throughout December 2023 to set a new goal record with the Nerazzurri.
