The Argentine forward Diego Milito struck in the second half to hand Inter Milan a deserved 1-0 home win over CSKA Moscow in their Champions League quarter-final first leg.
Milito rifled in a right-footed shot into the bottom corner from the edge of the box in the 65th minute after a strong run by Wesley Sneijder.
CSKA closed down Inter well in the first half, but showed little ambition as the Italian champions stepped it up in the second.
