Internazionale defeated Salzburg 2-1 in the UEFA Champions League group stage at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Tuesday as a Hakan Çalhanoglu penalty proved the difference.
Çalhanoglu gave Internazionale the lead in the 64th minute from the penalty spot, with the midfielder slotting his spot-kick to the lower left corner. It was awarded when Davide Frattesi drew a foul from Lucas Gourna-Douath.
Victory for Simone Inzaghi's side also came courtesy of a goal from Alexis Sánchez, with Oscar Gloukh on target for the visitors.
Sánchez broke the deadlock for the home side in the 19th minute. The striker finished low into the right corner after combining with midfielder Davide Frattesi. The lead, though, did not last as Gloukh hauled the sides level in the 57th minute. Maurits Kjærgaard supplied the assist. But the hosts responded well and the Çalhanoglu winner came seven minutes later.
