Onana’s 7th UCL Clean Sheet Gives Inter Semi-final Edge Over City Rivals AC Milan

Cameroonian goalie Andre Onana recorded a fine performance which saw him keep another clean sheet in the champions league; his 7th in total, in Inter’s 2-0 semi-final first leg win against familiar foes AC Milan on Wednesday.

Inter have a commanding 2-0 first leg lead over City rivals AC Milan thanks to early Edin Dzeko and Henrikh Mkhitaryan goals, in the Champions League semi-final first-leg game on Wednesday.

Both teams met three times already this season, with a win each in Serie A and Inter taking the Supercoppa Italiana 3-0 in January

It took under eight minutes to break the deadlock, as Inter’s first corner found Edin Dzeko from six yards to hold off Davide Calabria in front of him and wrap a left leg around the defender to volley into the top corner.

Moments later it was 2-0, as Federico Dimarco burst down the left and rolled across for Henrikh Mkhitaryan through the middle.

The former Arsenal and Manchester United forward took a touch and waited for Mike Maignan to go down before blasting into the roof of the net.

It was nearly 3-0, after Hakan Calhanoglu’s thunderous strike from distance smashed against the upright and Mkhitaryan on the rebound forced a save out of Maignan.

The referee pointed to the spot for a penalty when Lautaro Martinez turned Simon Kjaer on a throw-in and went down between the Dane and Fikayo Tomori.

However, he changed his mind after a VAR on-field review, realising Lautaro had tried to squirm through a gap that wasn’t there and went down.
