Mauro Icardi fired Inter into an early lead after Ivan Perisic squared the ball to him.
Manuel Pucciarelli leveled in the 37th but Perisic restored Inter's lead just three minutes later after Stevan Jovetic's effort was spilled by Alberto Pelagotti.
Icardi will likely play no part in the final round after the Inter captain limped off in the second half with a suspected thigh strain.
