In the first round of the 2025 Club World Cup Group E, Inter Milan tied Monterrey 1-1 after Lautaro scored a goal after falling behind by one goal. Lautaro said he was satisfied with the performance in the first round and hoped that the team would continue to work hard and get better.

Oliver Torres took a corner kick in the 25th minute, and Ramos headed the ball into the goal facing the defense, helping Monterrey to open the scoring with a 1-0 lead.

In the 42nd minute, Asllani sent a free kick into the penalty area, Augusto volleyed the ball, and Lautaro pushed the ball into the goal, helping Inter Milan to equalize the score at 1-1.

The score remained unchanged in the following period, and Inter Milan finally tied with Monterrey 1-1.

"Our overall performance was pretty good, but the grass was dry, which made it difficult to control the ball," said the 27-year-old. "I played in the America's Cup here before, and the pitch was in a similar condition. We need to adapt."

"I am happy with the team's performance in this game and I was calm. However, we did concede a goal in set-piece defense, which we must improve. Zonal defense is still relatively new for us and we must continue to work hard and get better."

In addition, Augusto, who assisted Lautaro to score in this game, said, "South American teams are very difficult to deal with. They fight for every ball. We didn't play well at the beginning, and then gradually got our rhythm back. We had a chance to win the game, but we still have two group matches to perform well."

"We were playing on a slow-moving pitch and it was very hot. I don't like to make excuses, as it was the same for both teams. But the quality of the game was compromised under these conditions."

Augusto also said, "We need to focus on self-improvement. The new coaching team has brought a lot of new ideas and everyone gets along well. We know the strength of the team and we must continue to move forward with all our strength."
