After a well-earned victory away to Benfica, Romelu Lukaku's 82nd-minute penalty gave Inter Milan a good chance to move to the Champions League semifinals.

Nicolo Barella's header gave Inter the lead in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League quarter-final in Lisbon. Benfica struggled to dictate play in front of their own fans as Inter produced a defensive masterclass. Substitute Romelu Lukaku scored from the spot after former Inter player Joao Mario handled. Referee Michael Oliver awarded the penalty after watching the incident on the pitchside monitor. Inter will fancy their chances of finishing the job in front of their own fans in the return leg on 19 April (20:00 BST).
Inter arrived in Portugal's capital on the back of a poor run of form and took advantage of a hesitant Benfica to take a firm hold of the tie. Goncalo Ramos' 89th-minute attempt was kept out by Andre Onana on a memorable night for Inter.
