The visitors continued to push and were rewarded in the 79th minute when Martínez completed his brace, finishing from a Yann Bisseck assist to level the score at 2-2.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave AS Roma 30%, the draw 28%, Inter 42%. It finished AS Roma 2–2 Inter.
Inter's rating edge outweighs AS Roma's home ground — Inter are the stronger side on our strength rating, and the early-season home fade plus a weak Serie A home advantage on top give Inter the lean. The draw at 28% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why Inter at 42%?
Inter sit 200 points higher on our strength rating — 1944 to 2144. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge on the road won 40.1% of 13,189 such games. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims AS Roma's column. Across 11,181 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.7% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.0 — negative in every season since 2018. Serie A home sides under-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to the other outcomes. Serie A homes won 43.3% of 6,122 games vs 44.9% across all 100,303 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. The 300 most similar past games finished 28–22–50.
Why only 42%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 42% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 28% and AS Roma at 30%.
Why the draw at 28%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.2%. These teams' recent games average 3.4 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 17,242. The goals environment takes 2.4 points off the draw. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Inter average 5 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 200 points. Our control receipt only exists between near-equals — there it moved results; across a class gap we could not measure a separate style edge, so style scores 0 here. AS Roma are unbeaten in their last 14 home Serie A games: 11 wins and 3 draws. The run began on 15 December 2025. Last recorded home league defeat: 30 November 2025 — AS Roma 0–1 Napoli. Latest home league result: 5 September 2026 — AS Roma 2–1 Atalanta. Across 13,631 historical matches following an unbeaten home league run of at least six games, hosts won 56.3%, compared with 54.5% expected from team strength. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
