MILAN - Hector Cuper's Vieri gamble paid full dividends as Bobogol headed a 90th-minute winnner to see off Dynamo Kiev at the Meazza and put the Nerazzurri three points clear at the top of Group B.

Inter were by far the superior side in the opening stages and took the lead on 23 minutes when Daniele Adani stabbed the ball home at the far post after Shovkovskyi failed to hold on to Cannavaro's header from Kily's left-wing cross.

After van der Meyde saw a shot into an open goal ruled out for a foul by Martins, Dynamo became the first team to score against Inter this season with an equaliser in the 34th minute. Fedorov wriggled between Cannavaro and Adani to fire a loose ball past Toldo after the Nerazzurri custodian's initial parry from Tiberiu Ghioane's left-wing cross-cum-shot.

The Ukraine outfit were much livlier in the second half and had several chances on goal. But substitute Vieri grabbed his dramatic last-minute goal in trademark fashion - a header into the top left-hand corner of the net from a Kily Gonzalez free kick.
