Last year's finalists Inter Milan had to battle before beating Kairat Almaty 2-1 at the San Siro on Wednesday, with the Italians keeping their perfect record in this season's Champions League despite conceding their first goal of the competition, Reuters reported.

Inter are on 12 points after four games, alongside Bayern Munich and Arsenal, while Kairat remain on one point despite a brave performance which almost paid off.

Kairat had lost 5-0 to Real Madrid and 4-1 to Sporting and, after Inter had racked up nine goals in three games this looked the perfect chance for Cristian Chivu's side to improve their goal difference even further, according to Reuters.
