Union Saint-Gilloise 0-4 Inter: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes' post-match review of Union Saint-Gilloise 0-4 Inter in the Champions League on Tuesday, 21 October 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Well, that was a proper drubbing for Union Saint-Gilloise, wasn't it? Inter came to town and absolutely dominated, walking away with a 4-0 victory. It's no surprise really, considering Union's recent form, having lost their last two matches at home, including this one. Inter, on the other hand, are in fine fettle, extending their winning streak with a convincing performance away from home. The result might have been expected, but the margin of victory certainly raised a few eyebrows.

Inter's attack was relentless, and Union just couldn't cope. The home side struggled to create anything meaningful, while Inter's forwards were clinical in front of goal. It's a tough pill to swallow for Union, who will need to regroup quickly if they're to turn their fortunes around. For Inter, it's another statement win that keeps them firmly in the hunt for the top spot.

The stats paint a clear picture of Inter's dominance in this match. With 70% possession, they controlled the game from start to finish, while Union managed just 30%. The corner count was close, with Inter edging it 4 to 3, but it was the quality of chances that made the difference. Inter's successful dribbles percentage was slightly higher at 45% compared to Union's 40%, showing their ability to break down the opposition.

Both teams picked up one yellow card each, but the real story was in the attacking stats. Inter's three assists to Union's zero highlight their superior creativity and finishing. The single penalty scored by Inter was the icing on the cake, underlining their efficiency in front of goal. All in all, the statistics reflect the one-sided nature of the match.

Inter wasted no time in asserting their dominance, with the first goal coming in the 41st minute. This early strike set the tone for the rest of the match, putting Union on the back foot. Just before halftime, Inter doubled their lead, leaving Union with a mountain to climb in the second half.

The second half saw Inter continue their onslaught, with a penalty in the 53rd minute further extending their lead. The final nail in the coffin came in the 76th minute, as Inter added a fourth goal to seal a comprehensive victory. These key moments were crucial in shaping the outcome of the game, showcasing Inter's ruthlessness in front of goal.

Union Saint-Gilloise lined up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Kjell Scherpen in goal and a back three of Kevin Mac Allister, Christian Burgess, and Fedde Leysen. The midfield was anchored by Anan Khalaili and Mathias Rasmussen, with Adem Zorgane and Ousseynou Niang providing support. Up front, Kamiel Van De Perre led the line, flanked by Anouar Ait El Hadj and Promise David.

Despite the heavy defeat, there were no standout performances from the Union side. The team made seven substitutions throughout the match, but none of the changes managed to turn the tide. It was a tough night for the home side, and they'll need to regroup quickly to bounce back from this setback.

Inter opted for a 3-5-2 formation, with Yann Sommer between the sticks and a back three of Yann Bisseck, Stefan de Vrij, and Alessandro Bastoni. The midfield was packed with talent, featuring Denzel Dumfries, Davide Frattesi, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Piotr Zieliński, and Carlos Augusto. Up top, Pio Esposito and Lautaro Martínez formed a deadly partnership.

The Inter lineup was full of quality, and it showed on the pitch. Pio Esposito was particularly impressive, scoring one goal and providing an assist. The team made six substitutions, but the starting XI did most of the damage. It was a masterclass in attacking football from Inter, and they'll be looking to carry this form into their next match.

Pio Esposito is Ladbrokes' Man of the Match, and it's easy to see why. He scored one goal and provided an assist, playing a pivotal role in Inter's dominant performance. With three key passes, Esposito was at the heart of Inter's attacking play, constantly creating chances for his teammates. His contribution was crucial in securing the 4-0 victory for Inter.
