INTER BEATEN

Inter were out of luck in Portugal, where defender Marco Materazzi conceded an own goal after 22 minutes and Porto's South African striker Benni McCarthy made it 2-0 at the second attempt after his free kick was blocked.

Inter are two points clear of Rangers and Artmedia, whose match in Glasgow ended in boos from a disgruntled home crowd.

Inter's city rivals AC Milan completed a frustrating time for Italy's four clubs - none of which won this week after Juventus lost to Bayern Munich and Udinese drew with Werder Bremen.

Milan's draw left them with five points in a tight group.

Fenerbahce, whose Ghanaian midfielder Stephen Appiah struck a superb equaliser to earn them that 3-3 home draw, and PSV have four points each, while Schalke have two.
