TIRASPOL (Reuters) - A ruthless second-half performance earned Inter Milan a 3-1 win away to Sheriff Tiraspol on Wednesday to send them above the Moldovans into second place in Group D.
Inter were left frustrated as they mustered 14 attempts to no avail before the break, but the competition debutants’ resistance eventually broke when Marcelo Brozovic fired home early in the second half.
Milan Skriniar doubled the Nerazzurri’s lead before substitute Alexis Sanchez powered home a third within a minute of his introduction, and Adama Traore headed in a stoppage-time consolation for Sheriff. Inter climbed into second spot on seven points, one ahead of Sheriff in third and six clear of bottom side Shakhtar Donetsk, but two points adrift of group leaders Real Madrid.
