Ten-man Inter Milan edge Shakhtar Donetsk to snap Champions League losing streak

Ten-man Inter Milan halted a four-match Champions League losing streak by battling to a 1-0 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Wednesday.​

According to a report by BBC Sport, defender Alessandro Bastoni was sent off in the 68th minute after receiving two yellow cards in three minutes, leaving the Italian champions facing a difficult final stretch.​

However, substitute Henrikh Mkhitaryan made an immediate impact just moments after coming off the bench. In the 77th minute, Mkhitaryan delivered a lofted pass to find Carlos Augusto, who forced the ball past goalkeeper Dmytro Riznyk for the decisive goal.

​Inter will travel to face Feyenoord in their next fixture on November 3, while Shakhtar host Sporting later that evening.
