The Bosnian Edin Dzeko scored twice within 6 minutes of the second half, to give Inter a 2-0 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk at the San Siro stadium, and the team is on the verge of qualifying for the playoffs in the Champions League, for the first time in a decade.
The Bosnian striker put the ball into the net after 61 minutes to give Inter a deserved lead, having canceled two goals he scored before that and missing a string of chances.
Dzeko did not take much time to double the result with a header from close range after a cross from Ivan Perisic, scoring his 50th goal in European competitions.
The result sent coach Simone Inzaghi’s team to the top of Group D temporarily with 10 points, one point ahead of Real Madrid.
The “Royal” will have to beat the Moldovan Sherif Tiraspol to maintain the lead, before Real Madrid and Inter Milan clash in the last round.
