Milan, May 11 (BNA): Inter Milan scored two early goals to achieve an impressive 2-0 victory over Milan in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals today, Wednesday, and remains on its way to becoming the first Italian team to win the title. Since they did in 2010.
Inter scored after eight and 11 minutes, Edin Dzeko firing in from close range before Henrikh Mkhitaryan doubled the lead from Federico Dimarco’s cross to stun their San Siro rivals.
Milan suffered a great shock, and despite its improvement in the second half, it rarely threatened to return and faces a daunting task to stay on its way to winning the European Cup for the eighth time, according to Reuters.
Three-times European champions Inter got off to a fast start when Hakan Calhanoglu’s corner kick fell in front of Dzeko and the veteran Bosnian forward slammed the ball into the top right corner.
With four consecutive victories in Serie A, Inter entered the game in high spirits. Dimarco passed to Mkhitaryan, who found the net from close range after cutting into Milan’s box.
