Claudio Pizarro returned to haunt former coach Jose Mourinho by grabbing Werder Bremen's equaliser in a 1-1 draw at Inter Milan in Champions League Group B on Wednesday.

The Peruvian, who played under the Inter coach at Chelsea, slid home Mesut Ozil's cross from close range at the far post on 62 minutes.

Inter, who now have four points from two games, had taken the lead on 13 minutes when Brazilian right back Maicon chipped goalkeeper Tim Wiese after running on to a loose ball following some sloppy Werder defending.

The Italian champions lost 1-0 to AC Milan on Sunday and again lacked shape and ideas against Werder, who have two points from their opening two group matches.
