Como 3-4 Inter Milan – Brazil Defender Hails “Great” Match At Sinigaglia Stadium As Nerazzurri Inch Closer To Winning Scudetto

Inter Milan wingback Carlos Augusto heaped praise on his side after a sterling comeback against Serie A top-four hopefuls Como last night.

Speaking to La Domenica Sportiva via FCInterNews, the former Monza star underscored the importance of yesterday’s victory the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia.

With Napoli sharing the spoils with Parma on Sunday afternoon, Inter had a golden chance to steer nine points clear at the top of the table.

However, Cristian Chivu’s side found themselves two goals down late in the first half, as Alex Valle and Nico Paz struck for Como.

Despite Lautaro Martinez’s absence, the Nerazzurri gritted their teeth to pull off their first away league comeback of the 2025/26 campaign.

Furthermore, Marcus Thuram emerged as one of the protagonists again.

In addition to getting Inter off the mark on the stroke of halftime, the Frenchman leveled the score at the start of the second half.

Carlos Augusto Hails Important Como 3-4 Inter Milan Win

Denzel Dumfries scored a signature header just before the hour mark to turn the game on its head.

Moreover, the Dutch wingback put Inter two goals up midway through the second half, completing his first league brace of the season.

Meanwhile, Carlos Augusto replaced underperforming Alessandro Bastoni at the start of the second half.

“It was a very important match,” the Brazilian said after the game. “It’s never easy to play in Como. We showed what we want, we delivered a great team performance, and that’s what matters most.

“We’re united, we’re a great group, and that made the difference. These are the kind of games where you don’t have full control, but if you win like that, it’s fine. We’re up there, fighting to win, and we’ll keep doing it until the last match.

“The goal at the end of the first half was crucial – we know how difficult it is to go two goals down at the break. We scored it right after theirs, and that made it even more significant.

“At halftime, you have 15 minutes to talk, which you don’t get on the pitch. We cleared our minds and came out in the second half ready to give our best.”

Asked about his favorite position, Augusto replied: “What matters is playing. I’m happy to help the team in two roles. I’m a full-back, I can also play in a back four, but the main thing is to help the team. What matters is that we won.

“Lautaro? We all know how important he is. He’s our captain, he cares deeply about the shirt, and he’s always with us even when unavailable. He helps a lot on and off the pitch, and that shows how united we are and how much we care. I’m grateful to have him as our captain.”
