MILAN -- Inter Milan took control of Wednesday's all-Italian Champions League semifinal with a 2-0 win over rivals AC Milan at San Siro Stadium.
Simeone Inzaghi's side were the 'away' team in a fearsome atmosphere but defied a hostile crowd to race into a two-goal lead after just 11 minutes, as Edin Dzeko opened the scoring with a stunning volley from Hakan Calhanoglu's corner before Henrikh Mkhitaryan doubled their advantage.
Inter continued to run riot as Mkhitaryan hit the post before Ismael Bennacer was forced off through injury on 18 minutes.
