Some physical action from the start as Ange-Yoan Bonny's header attempt gets called offside. Manuel Akanji and Maximilian Beier reactively draw fouls too early in the game. Petar Sucic and Jobe Bellingham joined in as well. Meanwhile, Fabio Silva scalps the first corner of the game.

Inter Milan are on the offensive right now, trying to open space for a goal. Federico Dimarco attempts a long ranger from the top of the box but it goes wide. Earlier, Henrikh Mkhitaryan was trying to sneak in a pass which got cleared as well. After a physical start to the game, things are getting a move on.

Half-time is nearing but despite that, none of the teams have been able to take the lead. The game had a very physical start and gradually both teams have fallen back to their structure and are only taking calculative risks. Fabio Silva is showing flashes of brilliance, while Inter's passes inside the box fails to find teammates.

Nice save from Gregor Kobel and it keeps Dortmund in the game. Ange-Yoan Bonny won a ball inside the box and he landed a testing header at the Borussia Dortmund goal. The attempt was threatening but Kobel managed to get a reflex save.

A rather eventless first half between both teams. The biggest chance of the first half arrived in the 11th minute when Serhou Guirassy's attempt from inside the box was saved by Yan Sommer. After that, it has been bits and pieces of cagey football with Kobel making a good save and Marcus Thuram engaging in some physical play. Things will need to change if the teams expect a result from this game.

The physical nature of the game is increasingly becoming hard to ignore. Petar Sucic makes a careless challenge first and immediately after, Manuel Akanji sees a yellow card. Filippo Mane was also asking for medical attention after an injury. No effective creative moves in the second half yet.

The game is nearing the last quarter and despite that there is not much progress. Francesco Pio Esposito comes in place of Ange-Yoan Bonny, Esposito looked like he could create something after he received a low pass but he was quickly dispossessed. Marcus Thuram's pass in the box also got anticipated. Nothing effective is materializing.

Both coaches are trying to make their moves to change the game state. It has remained in deadlock for too luck and there is no developments which show things might change. Niko Kovac injected more attacking prowess by substituting Serhou Guirassy for Karim Adeyemi. Meanwhile, for Inter, Piotr Zielinski leaves the pitch and Davide Frattesi comes on. Ramy Bensebaini sees a yellow card amid this.

Federico Dimarco scores and finally the deadlock is broken. Felix Nmecha committed a foul in a dangerous position and Dimarco was always in the mix to have his go at the goal. He goes for it and lands it in the roof of the goal. Dortmund react immediately as Julian Brandt comes in place of Fabio Silva.

Massive moment in the game as VAR adjudges no penalty for Borussia Dortmund. Karim Adeyemi went down inside the box and the referee considered it as a no penalty initially. The VAR team called him for a quick review but the referee stood on his decision despite watching the replay. Inter hold on to their lead.

Inter Milan extend their lead in the injury time and that should be it. Andy Diouf dribbles inside the box showing quick footwork and then lands a left footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom right corner. This goal is worth three points for Inter Milan.

Not much time was left after the second goal and referee Istvan Kovacs blows the final whistle. Carney Chukwuemeka tried a long ranger at the dying minutes but it went few inches over the crossbar. Dortmund couldn't produce the performance they wanted while Inter was slightly better, specially in clinching the goals. Despite the win, it was not enough for Inter to sneak inside the top-eight as they finished tenth.
