Inter Milan ace Carlos Augusto netted a match-winning goal in last night’s hard-fought 2-1 home win over Kairat Almaty.

According to the Italian media via L’Interista, the Brazilian wingback ‘took responsibility’ in a crucial moment.

Carlos Augusto could not have picked a better moment to score his first goal of the season.

Indeed, Inter needed someone to produce a moment of brilliance as they struggled to breach Kairat’s low defensive block.

Moreover, the 26-year-old stepped up in a big way, slotting home an inch-perfect shot from outside the box.

Augusto scored a few headers last season, but he also demonstrated his shooting ability on Wednesday night.

Furthermore, his first-time strike drew comparisons to Hakan Calhanoglu’s trademark precision from distance.

Indeed, the Turkish playmaker has become famous for his long-range prowess.

He most recently showcased his scoring skills with a phenomenal effort to break the deadlock against Fiorentina.

Meanwhile, Lautaro Martinez returned to the scoresheet for the first time since early October with a match-opening goal.
