6' CLOSE! Perisic's header off the post

POST! Icardi is given far too much room in the centre of the field as he drives at the PSV defence before picking his head up and delivering a lovely floated ball in behind towards the left side of the penalty area where Perisic was arriving. The Croatian’s first-time header cannons against the post and away. Great opportunity.

13' GOAL! Inter 0-1 PSV (Lozano)

GOAL! Lozano gives the visitors the lead! Bergwijn capitalises on a poor piece of play from Asamoah as the defender runs into trouble, before bursting down the right-hand side and delivering a perfect cross for Lozano. The Mexican could not miss as he was free at the back post to turn the cross into the net from only a few yards out. 0-1.

55' CHANCE! Politano's shot saved

Politano almost looked to be in behind again down the right-hand side, but Viergever got across expertly to win the ball back for the visitors.

73' GOAL! Inter 1-1 PSV (Icardi)

GOAL! Icardi draws the hosts level! Politano is once again able to find the space down the right-hand side to cut inside and deliver a dangerous left-footed cross. This time he goes long towards the far post and Icardi is on hand to head the ball into the bottom left corner of the net from a matter of yards. Inter are now heading through as things stand. 1-1.

Match Report

Inter slipped out of the Champions League after they were held to a 1-1 draw by PSV, confirming Tottenham's place as Group B runnersup.

A run of three games without a win in the competition meant Luciano Spalletti's side went into Tuesday's encounter needing to better Tottenham's result against Barcelona, and Mauro Icardi's 73rd-minute header looked to have booked Inter's place in the last 16.

Icardi's effort cancelled out Hirving Lozano's opener after 13 minutes, but it proved insufficient after Lucas Moura earned Tottenham a late 1-1 draw at Camp Nou.
