The visiting team struck first and early: in the ninth minute Felipe Gutiérrez burned the hands of Drake Callender, who wanted to control in two halves but missed the rebound, and Daniel Sallói took it and did not forgive. But the locals did not give up and Tim Melia kneed Leonardo Campana in the back in the area. Penalty for Inter that the same Ecuadorian converted into a goal in the 32nd minute with a shot to the left of the goalkeeper.
And in a key moment, in the 44th, Campana reappeared in the net when he headed high a cross from the right by DeAndre Yedlin. Inter went into the break ahead.
