In other matches, Inter are chasing their first win in Group B. However, Antonio Conte’s squad failed to make it happen because they had to settle for a goalless draw at Donetsk headquarters.
Inter actually dominated the game. This was evidenced by La Beneamata’s efforts to score more goals than the hosts.

Several opportunities that Inter got through Romelu Lukaku, Lautaro Martinez, Marcelo Brozovic, and Arturo Vidal were unable to thrill Donetsk’s goal.
The failure to reach these three points was the second in a row for Inter. On the first matchday, Inter could only draw 2-2 at home to Borussia Monchengladbach.
