Inter Milan vs Porto 1-0 Download Video Highlights: Uefa Champions League (UEFA) – February 22nd, 2023.
Romelu Lukaku came off the bench to score a late winner as Inter overcame a resilient Porto in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 clash at San Siro.
Inter had a good chance in the opening minutes, Federico Dimarco’s volley charged down in the penalty area, then his cross was nodded over by Lautaro Martinez.
With both teams coming into this game in fine form, there had been considerable excitement ahead of kick-off, but it proved a cagey affair.
Porto were slow to start but almost broke the deadlock when Andre Onana pulled off a fine save with his feet to keep out Marko Gruijic’s powerful effort, and from the rebound Galeno failed to hit the target.

The hosts thought they had a strong case for a penalty when Matteo Darmian went down inside the box under pressure from Galeno, but there was nothing doing.
On the stroke of half-time, Alessandro Bastoni’s glancing header forced a fine reaction save from Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa.
Barella fired agonisingly wide after the restart, and, at the opposite end, Inter goalkeeper Onana pulled off a double save to deny Taremi and then Zaidu.
With time running out, the Nerazzurri pushed for a winner, introducing Lukaku from the bench and the Belgium international had an immediate impact,
setting up a chance for Barella who shot just over.
Porto’s task grew more difficult when midfielder Otavio was sent off for a second
bookable offence and the visitors would pay a heavy price when eventually Inter found a way through courtesy of Lukaku’s late goal.
After hitting the post from Denzel Dumfries’ cross, he remained composed to slot in the rebound to ensure Inter take a slender lead to Portugal for the second leg on March 14.
