Inter Milan’s victory was sealed with goals — scored by Francesco Pio Esposito in the 72nd minute and Alessandro Bastoni during injury time.

The match intensity escalated when River Plate was reduced to 9 men after red cards were shown to Lucas Martinez Quarta in the 66th minute and Gonzalo Montiel in the closing moments.
