Match report
A 1-0 win for Inter over Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday, October 21 in the UEFA Champions League, with the only goal separating the sides after a scoreless first half. The final score was 1-0, a result in which Inter found a way through and Shakhtar Donetsk finished without a goal.
The match was played at San Siro/Giuseppe Meazza. Inter took the points, while the single goal left little room between the teams on the scoreboard; the decisive fact was that Shakhtar Donetsk could not reply.
How it unfolded
The teams reached half-time at 0-0, so neither had scored before the break. Inter went on to score after half-time, and that goal stood as the game's only one. Shakhtar Donetsk did not score, and the match ended 1-0.
The sequence is straightforward in the available account: a goalless first half, a goal for Inter, then the final whistle with Shakhtar Donetsk still without a goal. No further goal or red-card details are available to add to that account.
The numbers
There was one goal across the match: Inter scored one goal, while Shakhtar Donetsk scored no goals. That low-scoring outcome left the match decided by the difference between a side that got on the scoresheet and one that did not.
