Champions League 2024-25: Last-gasp Mukiele goal gives Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 win over Inter Milan
The HinduBayer Leverkusen’s Nordi Mukiele scored a 90th-minute goal to give his team a 1-0 win over Inter Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday and move the Germans closer to qualification. But it had to wait until the final minute for Mukiele to slot in after a goalmouth scramble which was the first goal Inter had conceded in the competition after five clean sheets. The Italians’ first defeat in the competition saw them drop to fourth place on 13 points, behind Leverkusen who is second, also on 13 with two matches remaining. Inter coach Simone Inzaghi’s substitutions after the hour mark looked to inject new life into its game but it still could not threaten up front, with the match heading towards a goalless conclusion until the 27-year-old Mukiele pounced on a loose ball in the box to drill in the winner.
