Match narrative:
- 7′: Vilhjálmsdóttir scored Inter’s first goal in European competition, marking her inaugural goal as a Nerazzurra.
- 13′: Zomers equalised for Brann.
- 56′: Gaupset put Brann ahead, with both goals coming in each half.
- Late on, Inter almost levelled via an overhead kick from Polli that narrowly missed.
- Following the loss, Inter will face the loser of Valur vs Braga in the third-place play-off on Saturday at 11:00 CEST. The winner secures a spot in the new UEFA Women’s Europa Cup.
- Brann, along with Inter Milan, Valur (Iceland), and Sporting Braga (Portugal), makes up Group 3 in the second qualifying round.
