Fans' Rating Trabzonspor 1-1 Inter: Italians clinch top spot in Group B courtesy of hard-earned draw in Turkey
Despite a far from convincing performance in Trabzon where they were second best for long spells, Claudio Ranieri's men manage to hold out for a point and qualify for the last 16

Inter have ensured progression at the summit of Champions League Group B after they registered a 1-1 draw against Trabzonspor in Turkey.
Ricky Alvarez's initial strike put the Italian giants in a commanding position early on, before Halil Altintop fired an equaliser to also keep home hopes of qualifying as group runners-up alive.
Proceedings in Trabzon began in favour of the hosts, as Ondrej Celustka and Burak Yilmaz's speculative efforts inside the first five minutes laid the foundations for what was to be a hugely enthralling clash.
Senol Gunes' side dictated much of the play in midfield throughout the first half, spearheaded by the imperious Gustavo Colman, but it was the visitors who surprisingly gained the initiative on 18 minutes, through Alvarez.
The Argentine midfielder showed great movement around the box to construct a one-two with Diego Milito, before receiving the ball in bundles of space to coolly poke home past Tolga Zengin and give his side an undeserved lead.
However, Trabzonspor managed to hit back just five minutes later. Colman drove through Inter's midfield relatively untroubled and laid off Altintop on the edge of the area. The Turkey attacker proceeded to smash the ball past a helpless Julio Cesar, although with the aid of a deflection.
The remaining 20 minutes of the half were largely controlled by the home team, who continued to show imagination and invention, but Inter's experience played an important factor in being able to go in at half time with the result intact.
The second half began as a continuation of the preceding 45, but slowly Inter began to step their game up, coinciding with the entrance of Philippe Coutinho, who provided his team with a much-needed spark.
Despite a mini-revival of sorts from the Serie A side, however, Trabzonspor really ought to have sealed the win. Alanzinho and substitute Adrian Mierzejewski both squandered golden opportunities to deny the visitors, with the latter seeing a diving header cannon off the post.
The result now sees Trabzonspor move to second in Group B, and a win in Lille on matchday six will confirm their place as runners-up, while Inter can now breathe easy and concentrate on climbing up the Serie A table, finishing the section with a home match against CSKA Moscow.
