Their patience was rewarded in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inter.it\/en\/news\/ajax-inter-champions-league-2025-26\"><strong>42nd minute<\/strong>, when <strong>Marcus Thuram<\/strong> <\/a>latched onto a clever pass inside the box and coolly slotted the ball past the Ajax goalkeeper, giving Inter a 1-0 lead heading into halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"442\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ajax-v-Intermilan-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ajax-v-Intermilan-3.jpg 442w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ajax-v-Intermilan-3-246x300.jpg 246w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ajax-v-Intermilan-3-150x183.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ajax-v-Intermilan-3-300x365.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 442px) 100vw, 442px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">@intermilan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Perfect Start to the Second Half<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Any hopes Ajax had of mounting a comeback were dealt a heavy blow almost immediately after the restart.
