Inter took the lead in the 13th minute with a brilliant strike by Nicolo Barella from inside the box but Benfica equalised in the 38th minute through a towering header from Fredrik Aursnes.

It was not enough to deny Inter their first semi-final appearance since they won the trophy for the third time in 2010.
