Inter Milan ended Sheriff Tiraspol’s perfect start to their debut Champions League campaign with a 3-1 win at San Siro on Tuesday, the Italians’ first victory in Group D.

An Edin Dzeko volley put Inter ahead at halftime but Sebastien Thill, scorer of Sheriff’s spectacular late winner in Madrid, produced a curling free kick from long range to draw the visitors level in the 52nd minute.

However, Arturo Vidal’s strike edged Inter back in front six minutes later, before Stefan de Vrij ended any hopes of another upset with a neat finish in the 67th minute.
