The first serious chance in the match was marked in the 27th minute, when Kevin de Bruyne launched a shot, but it went near the left post.

In the 36th minute, Erling Haaland was close to scoring, but even this shot went close to the right post of Yan Sommer’s goal.

The most serious case for Inter in the first 45 minutes was Marcu Thuram (42′), with his shot that went wide.

Sommer produced a brilliant strike in the 43rd minute after stopping De Bruyne’s shot.

The second half was more balanced, with Inter showing more.

Starting from the end of the meeting, both teams intensified their attacks on each other’s goal.

Inter risked through Henrikh Mkhitaryan, with his shot in the 76th minute hitting the post.

Three minutes later, Josko Guardiol tested Sommer with a header, but he couldn’t score either.
