Szoboszlai’s late penalty secures crucial Champions League win for Liverpool at San Siro

Liverpool claimed a vital Champions League victory over Inter Milan after Dominik Szoboszlai converted an 88th-minute penalty awarded via VAR for Alessandro Bastoni’s shirt pull on Florian Wirtz.

Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer guessed correctly but could not keep out the powerful strike, giving Liverpool three important points and extending their unbeaten run to four matches after a difficult spell.

The win lifts the Reds into the top eight of the league phase, guaranteeing automatic progression to the last 16, while Inter dropped to fifth and suffered their first home defeat in the competition since 2022.

Earlier, Liverpool had a Konate header disallowed for handball in the buildup, and both sides created chances in a tightly contested match before Szoboszlai’s decisive finish secured a fourth straight Liverpool triumph at the San Siro.
