| 9' | Miranda misjudges a ball over the top and Rodriguez sprints away but the Brazilian does well to make up the ground and get the tackle in |

| 4' | Icardi swoops to intercept a backpass headed for Forster then tries to backheel to Eder. The Saints goalie concedes a corner |

MILAN - Inter got their Europa League campaign off the ground as Antonio Candreva's wondrous finish was enough to beat Southampton on Thursday night.
The Italy forward latched into Davide Santon's low delivery midway through the second half and struck it clean into the top corner for his first goal in black and blue.
Samir Handanovic then made a crucial point-blank save to deny Saints substitute Charlie Austin late on as Inter earned a much-needed win that keeps them in the running to qualify from Group K.
