Lautaro Martínez netted late on to help Internazionale clinch a 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad in the UEFA Champions League group stage at Reale Arena on Wednesday.
Martínez netted for Internazionale three minutes from time. The striker finished to the upper left corner after combining with Davide Frattesi.
Brais Méndez was on target for the hosts.
Méndez helped the home team make a flying start by netting after just four minutes low into the right corner. However, the visitors hit back and there was late drama when the Martínez leveller came after 87 minutes.
The draw will leave Real Sociedad to reflect on what might have been as Robin Le Normand and Mikel Oyarzabal missed big chances that came their way in the match.
