Minute Text commentary
48' HALF-TIME: INTER 0-0 PORTO Just when the game was getting exciting, the referee blows the half-time whistle!
13' Dimarco whips in a pin-point cross, picking out Lautaro Martinez who has peeled away at the far post. However, the Argentina international gets underneath the ball and heads miles over the bar.
1' The atmosphere is always special at San Siro on a big Champions League night, and with a place in the last-eight at stake, tonight should be a memorable occasion.
Minute Text commentary
49' Romelu Lukaku - a second-half substitute - ensures Inter have a slender advantage to take to Porto on March 14 with an 86th-minute winner at San Siro.
47' Borges comes on for Joao Mario.
41' Lukaku breaks the deadlock, finally! With four minutes remaining, Inter's substitute finds a way through. Dumfries delivers a fine cross, Lukaku has a free header which he sees crash off the post, but he keeps his composure to slot home the rebound!
36' Skriniar is replaced by Dumfries as Inzaghi makes a tactical switch in a bid to win the game.
33' Porto are down to 10! Otavio clips the ankle of Calhanoglu, he's shown a second yellow card and he's off!
27' Brozovic takes the place of Mkhitaryan, Inter's third change of the game.
18' Porto attacker Pepe goes into the book for a foul on Calhanoglu.
13' Lukaku takes the place of Dzeko, who has had a quiet night by his standards, and Dimarco makes way for Gosens.
10' Porto on the counter, move the ball quickly with Pepe laying it off to Taremi. His shot forces Onana into a save at full stretch.

All four meetings between Inter and Porto came in the Champions League in 2005: Inter remained undefeated in the 2004/05 Round of 16 tie with the Nerazzurri earning a win and a draw in the two-legged affair, fondly remembered for Adriano's hattrick at San Siro. The following season the two sides met again, this time in the group stages, with both getting a victory apiece.

Alessandro Bastoni has the most number of assists in Inter's 2022/23 Champions League: Bastoni made the key pass to Nicolò Barella in the game at Camp Nou against Barcelona and one for Henrikh Mkhitaryan against Viktoria Plzen, played at San Siro.

Federico Dimarco has also made vital contributions in attack: the wideman has created seven goalscoring chances in this year's Champions League; no other Nerazzurri player has done better than Dimarco.
