Inter's Youth Team Draws 1-1 with Club Brugge in Youth League
Inter's youth team could not win their match against Club Brugge in the UEFA Youth League.
The game finished 1-1. Inter had the lead, but Brugge equalised late in the match.
A young Inter player called Carrara scored the opening goal. This gave Inter hope of winning the game.
However, Inter's defence could not hold on. Club Brugge found an equaliser close to the final whistle.
A Brugge player named Da Silva scored the goal that made the score 1-1. This goal stopped Inter from taking all three points.
The Youth League is a European competition. It is for the under-19 teams of top football clubs.
Teams in this competition play matches to try to reach the knockout stage. A draw gives both teams one point instead of three.
Inter will have been disappointed with the result. They led for most of the match before conceding so late.
This kind of late equaliser can be very frustrating for a team. It takes away a likely win and turns it into a draw.
Inter's young squad will now look ahead to their next match in the competition. They will hope to pick up a win and improve their position in the group.
