Rapid Vienna 0 Inter 1: Martinez makes up for missing Icardi

Lautaro Martinez scored from the penalty spot to give Inter victory away to Rapid Vienna, despite the absence of Mauro Icardi.

Inter are in control of their Europa League last-32 tie with Rapid Vienna thanks to Thursday's 1-0 victory in Austria.

A penalty from Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez six minutes before half-time was enough to give Luciano Spalletti's side the win, their second in a row in all competitions.

Much of the pre-match talk centred around Mauro Icardi, who was stripped of the club captaincy and then withdrew from the travelling squad, which he suggested was due to injury.
