It took just 25 seconds for the hosts to go ahead through a wonder goal from Dejan Stankovic. Manuel Neuer was quick out of his goal to head a clearance to the halfway line, where the Serbian unleashed a tremendous volley that sailed into the net. Schalke responded in the 17th minute, however, as Joel Matip pounced on a loose ball in the six-yard box and struck to restore parity.
Diego Milito, a surprise inclusion who had a tremendous performance, restored Inter's lead on 34 minutes as he volleyed in from Esteban Cambiasso's header. However, Schalke managed to enter the half-time break on level terms thanks to Edu, who after having his initial effort saved, was first to the rebound to make it 2-2.
Raul Gonzalez made a goal in minute 53, plus an own goal by Andrea Ranocchia in 57 minutes. Edu closing party Schalke in the 75th minute.
