The hosts took control of the game early in the game, the Nerazzurri opening the threat in the 13th minute with an effort from Cristian Eriksen from a free kick. However, Eriksen’s kick was still suitable for Yann Sommer to hold.

Inter did not relax their attacks in the second half. Four minutes after the interval, his efforts finally paid off.

Goal!! Remy Bensebaini, who became a penalty taker, did his job well. His shot landed in the left corner of goalkeeper Samir Handanovic.
In the 82nd minute, Inter wasted a golden opportunity to regain the lead. Lukaku and Darmian’s orderly collaboration broke Gladbach’s right defense line.
