Inter Milan forward Romelu Lukaku scored twice in the second half to steer them to a 3-2 win at Borussia Monchengladbach on Tuesday and keep their hopes of reaching the knockout stage alive.
Lukaku fired home for a 2-1 lead in the 64th minute and then tapped in his second goal nine minutes later to make it 3-1 and Inter now need to win their last group match against Shakhtar Donetsk next Wednesday and hope that the other Group B clash between Real Madrid and Gladbach finishes as a draw in order for Antonio Conte's men to advance.
Matteo Darmian's 17th-minute opener for Inter before Gladbach equalised through Alassane Plea in first-half stoppage time, and the Frenchman cut the deficit in the 76th minute before having an 84th-minute effort ruled out for an offside by VAR.
Gladbach are top on eight points from five games, one ahead of Shakhtar and Real Madrid after the Ukrainians earlier beat the visiting Spaniards 2-0. Inter have five points.
