For Kwadwo Asamoah, it was an eventful match as his assist to Inter captain, Mauro Icardi, in the 86th minute helped the Italian team beat Tottenham 2-1 at the San Siro.
Inter fell behind to a goal from Christian Eriksen in the 53rd minute and laboured to get back into the tie.
But with four minutes left on the clock, Asamoah sent a first-time cross into the area just outside Inter’s penalty area and it was sent home by Icardi who caught it with a lovely volley.
Inter completed the comeback with a goal in the 91st minute from Matias Vecino.
Asamoah shared his joy at the victory on his Twitter handle.

For Richmond Boakye-Yiadom, 81 minutes on the pitch for Red Star did not translate into a goal. Rather, Red Star needed loads of saves from their goalkeeper Milan Borjan to get a point as they drew goalless with Napoli.
Nonetheless, Boakye-Yiadom was pleased with the efforts of his team-mates on the night of Red Star’s return to the Champions League after a 26-year absence.
A precious, precious, really precious point for us in a very difficult @ChampionsLeague opener against @en_sscnapoli. That was a very spirited performance, @crvenazvezda_en. #CZVNAP pic.twitter.com/MvMIXvUcNi
