Five games into their Champions League campaign, RB Leipzig are still without a point after going down 1-0 to Inter at the Stadio Guseppe Meazza on Tuesday night.

The defeat adds to the worries of Marco Rose's injury-hit side, who are now winless in their last five games in all competitions.

Inter dominated possession and chances from the outset and were rewarded for their efforts in the 28th minute when Federico Dimarco's cross struck Castello Lukeba, who turned the ball into his own net.

After being forced to defend deep for much of the first half, Leipzig began to push forward after the break in search of an equaliser.

The closest they came was in the 70th minute when Antonio Nusa's shot was brilliantly saved by Yann Sommer.

Ultimately, it wasn't to be for Leipzig, who remain without a point in the Champions League.
