Inter take control of UCL semi-final derby against Milan
Inter Milan took control of their Champions League semifinal tie against city rivals AC Milan after a 2-0 first-leg victory at San Siro on Wednesday night.
The Milan derby was settled early as Edin Dzeko opened the scoring in the 8th minute with a volley before Henrikh Mkhitaryan struck three minutes later.
AC Milan were quite poor in display and only had their first shot on target towards the final minutes.
