Inter Milan put a halt to Sheriff Tiraspol’s winning run in their debut Champions League campaign with a 3-1 win at San Siro on Tuesday, the Italians’ first victory in Group D.

The Moldovans earned shock wins against Shakhtar Donetsk and Real Madrid to become group leaders and they remain top with six points.

An Edin Dzeko volley put Inter ahead at halftime but Sebastien Thill, the scorer of Sheriff’s spectacular late winner in Madrid, produced a curling free-kick from long range to draw the visitors level in the 52nd minute.

However, Arturo Vidal’s strike edged Inter back in front six minutes later, before Stefan de Vrij ended any hopes of another upset with a neat finish in the 67th minute.

Inter despite the win remained at third position with four points from three matches as Sheriff remains leaders of Group D with six points
