Adriano refound his scoring touch in style with a hat-trick and Luis Figo scored his second in as many games as Inter beat Artmedia 4-0 at the Giuseppe Meazza to qualify for the Champions League round of sixteen with Group H Matchday 6 still to play.

The Brazilian striker scored his first Nerazzurri goals since last month's Serie A clash with Roma, as Portuguese winger Figo following up his debut goal for Inter against Parma at the weekend with the opener against the Slovakians in Wednesday evening's Matchday 5 tie behind closed doors.

On 28 minutes Figo met a Veron through ball in the area, switched from his left to his right foot then tucked the ball past Cobej to put Inter in front. Adriano added the second four minutes before the break, lifting the ball over the Artmedia keeper after running on to Figo 's pin-point assist.

Adriano made extra sure of victory with Inter's third on 59 minutes after a devastating combination with Recoba, then completed his hat-trick with a blistering 25-yard strike from a Stankovic assist.

Fantastic win by Inter.

Adriano scored some breathtaking goals there and didn't look like a striker who hadn't been scoring.
