UEFA Champions LeagueBayer Leverkusen...0 Inter Milan...2Reserve striker Obafemi Martins led Inter Milan to a 2-0 win at Bayer Leverkusen last night to secure their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
The 18-year-old Nigerian exploited a blunder by the Leverkusen defence to race into the box and open the scoring after 36 minutes.
Turkish midfielder Emre Belozoglu doubled the advantage with a last-minute effort from a counter-attack, sealing a victory that secured the Italian side's second place in Group A behind Barcelona.
Martins, starting a game in Europe for the first time and dangerous throughout, was brought down by Thomas Kleine shortly before the break but Leverkusen goalkeeper Hans-Joerg Butt saved the resulting penalty from Domenico Morfeo.
Last season's beaten finalists Leverkusen, who were already eliminated, bowed out with their sixth defeat from as many games in the second phase and can now concentrate on their battle against relegation from the Bundesliga.
