Carlos Augusto struck against the run of play to give 10-man Inter a desperately-needed victory over Shakhtar Donetsk after Alessandro Bastoni saw red.

Ten-man Inter secured a 1-0 win against Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Champions League at San Siro on October 21, 2026. Carlos Augusto scored the decisive goal in the 77th minute, finishing off an assist from substitute Henrikh Mkhitaryan just minutes after Alessandro Bastoni was sent off for receiving two yellow cards.
The victory marked Inter's first in the competition this season following consecutive defeats to Real Madrid and Club Brugge. Manager Cristian Chivu coped with multiple injuries, while goalkeeper Josep Martinez preserved the clean sheet with late saves against Newertton and Mykola Matviyenko.
