AC Milan End Inter's Unbeaten Streak with 3-1 Derby Victory

Christian Pulisic opened the scoring in the fourth minute as AC Milan beat rivals Inter 3-1 at San Siro.

AC Milan defeated Inter Milan 3-1 at San Siro on October 31, 2026, ending the visitors' nine-match unbeaten start to the Serie A season. Christian Pulisic opened the scoring in the 4th minute by nodding home a cross from Diego Moreira. Adrien Rabiot doubled the lead in the 10th minute, directing a Moreira corner off the far post past goalkeeper Josep Martínez.

Inter responded in the 22nd minute when Alessandro Bastoni headed a Hakan Çalhanoglu corner into the bottom corner. Despite the shift in momentum, Mike Maignan preserved the lead by tipping a Çalhanoglu strike over the bar and denying Djed Spence from point-blank range. Strahinja Pavlovic also contributed a critical tackle to stop Marcus Thuram as Inter pressured for an equalizer.

Diego Moreira finalized the scoreline at 3-1 in the 43rd minute, curling a left-footed free-kick over the wall during first-half stoppage time. The result extends AC Milan's unbeaten run in the Derby della Madonnina to five matches and results in Lazio becoming the new league leaders. A late VAR review overturned a potential Inter penalty after confirming the ball struck Mario Gila's midsection rather than his hand.
