Internazionale's Marcus Thuram was the undisputed hero of the match, netting a hat-trick that secured a thrilling 3-2 victory over Torino at the San Siro. The match was a rollercoaster of emotions, with Torino playing with ten men for most of the game after Guillermo Maripán's controversial red card, but ultimately succumbed to Inter's attacking prowess.

The Nerazzurri took control early on, with Thuram scoring a header in the 24th minute, followed by another close-range finish in the 34th minute. Duván Zapata pulled one back for Torino in the 35th minute, momentarily reigniting their hopes, but Thuram sealed his hat-trick with a well-placed shot in the 59th minute.

Torino never gave up, scoring twice in the final stages to make for a nervy finish. Nikola Vlasic scored a penalty in the 85th minute, and Duván Zapata netted his second goal in the 83rd minute. However, despite a late surge, the comeback fell short.

The victory puts Inter just two points behind Serie A leaders Napoli. Lautaro Martínez, who was also a threat throughout the match, couldn’t add to his goal tally, but his performance further solidified Inter’s title ambitions.

The match was not without its controversies, with Maripán receiving a red card in the 19th minute for a challenge on Thuram. However, after a VAR review, the red card was rescinded, allowing Torino to remain in the contest for longer.

Internazionale, with their powerful attacking display, will be looking to build on this victory as they continue their pursuit of the Serie A title. The match was a testament to the exciting and unpredictable nature of the Italian league, providing fans with a captivating and thrilling experience.
