Champions League Football Results – Inter Won an Important 3-1 Win
Inter dominated the first half of the game against Sheriff Tiraspol, clearly desperate for a win. However, they had to wait until the second half to actually score.
After a quarter-hour, wing-back Denzel Dumfries broke through on a scorching counterattack. But he couldn’t get his feet together and was smothered by the keeper.
Federico Dimarco’s beautiful free-kick tipped over 10 minutes before the break at San Siro.
Arturo Vidal flicked on a header from the subsequent corner to the unmarked Edin Dzeko. And the latter showed superb technique to volley into the top corner with his instep.
Prior to halftime, both Ivan Perisic and Dzeko made fantastic efforts but, in vain, before Sheriff stunned fans once more.
Sebastian Thill stepped up to curl home an incredible free-kick to bring the minnows on level with Inter. This ignited wild celebrations after Dimarco was penalized for a nasty trip about 30 yards away.
However, Inter quickly replied with another goal of their own, with Perisic hitting the outside of the post.
Then, Dzeko turned provider a minute later, slipping the ball through Arturo Vidal. And the latter squeezed the ball past the goalkeeper to restore the hosts’ lead.
The Nerazzurri thus enjoyed a two-goal lead after just nine minutes. Dumfries headed a corner back across goal, where centre-back Stefan de Vrij volleyed the ball in with a striker’s finish.
Inter were comfortable after that and saw the game out, though they came close to adding a fourth.
Though Perisic and Lautaro Martinez got in each other’s way to score efficiently, they still managed to rattle the crossbar with a joint effort.
Finally, Sensi’s good effort also went narrowly wide while Martinez’s last-minute volley tipped over.
