Previous meetings between Inter and Norwegian sides

Inter’s clash against Rosenborg is the first against a Norwegian side for 24 seasons. The last official match was in the 1978/79 season when the Nerazzurri faced Bodoe Glimt.

Four of the seven Inter goals were scored by Altobelli, with the others scored by Beccalossi, Muraro and Scanziani.
