Inter had lost both of their matches in the Champions League this season and went into the Shakhtar Donetsk game looking for their first point. The match kicked off at 20.00 UK time (21.00 CEST).

Inter were left a man short after Alessandro Bastoni was sent off. The decision means Bastoni will miss the next Champions League match, against Feyenoord.

Against the run of play, it was Carlos Augusto who scored. Inter went ahead in less than 10 minutes after being reduced to 10 men and took the win they badly needed.

Goalkeeper Josep Martinez also stood out in the match. From a corner, he saved Matvyenko's header from the near top corner. When Newertton's shot after a one-two bounced off Bisseck and changed direction, Martinez pushed the ball away from the foot of the post with his fingertips.

Inter also found a chance on the counter. Thuram crossed from the right, Mkhitaryan's first touch was heavy, and as the angle narrowed the ball went out for a goal kick. With tension continuing on the pitch, Chivu asked for a card.
