       another poor result twice we took the lead and twice we got
       pegged back as we sit to close to the bottom so we need to try
       and get 3 points in the next game but i am still trying to build
       a team

       Inter Milan 2–2 FC Porto
       A fiercely contested Premier Division clash at San Siro ended
       level as Inter Milan and FC Porto shared the points in a
       high‑tempo 2–2 draw. Twice we trailed, momentum swung
       repeatedly, and the game produced four goals, 23 attempts, and
       standout individual performances on each side.
       Inter struck first on 24 minutes when Crysencio Summerville
       punished our defensive lapse, rifling home after finding acres
       of space. The lead lasted less than a minute as we responded
       instantly through William Gómes, who finished a slick move to
       make it 1–1.
       Inter pushed hard for a second, with Diogo Costa forced into
       several saves, while we threatened on the break through Borja
       Sainz and Gabri Veiga. The half ended with Inter edging the
       play, but we were looking dangerous whenever they transitioned
       quickly.
       Inter regained the lead three minutes after the restart. Pio
       Esposito burst through the Porto back line and smashed in a
       bouncing effort that left Diogo Costa helpless, putting Inter
       2–1 up.
       We refused to fold. Our pressure paid off in the 56th minute
       when Seko Fofana, who was immense throughout, finished off a
       chaotic sequence after his initial shot hit the post and
       rebounded off their goalkeeper, allowing him to tap in the
       equaliser. That goal swung momentum our way, and we created the
       better chances in the final half hour.
       Inter still threatened through Summerville and Sucic, but our
       defensive reshuffle (Perez and Costa on) tightened things up.
       Late on, Gabri Veiga almost won it for us, forcing Phillips into
       a fingertip save onto the post.
       "A draw felt fair. Inter produced the cleaner attacking moves,
       but we created more chances and showed greater resilience. Both
       sides will feel they could have won it, but neither deserved to
       lose. I cannot fault my players; it's been a difficult season,
       but we refuse to lie down for teams and will keep fighting.  No
       overreactions here, and wanting to rebuild the side. We have a
       fantastic group here who are only going to get better"
