Midfielders Oscar and Eden Hazard got the goals as Blues boss Jose
Mourinho took the opportunity to give all 20 members of his squad some
game-time against his former team at the Lucas Oil Stadium.
Oscar opened the scoring in the 13th minute with a fine curling
right-foot shot, following an imposing run down the middle by Victor
Moses.
Blues goalkeeper Petr Cech did well to keep out a deflected shot from
Rodrigo Palacio eight minutes later, before Chelsea doubled their lead
in the 29th minute.
Referee Ismail Elfath decided Moses had been fouled inside the area
by Alvaro Pereira - a generous decision for Chelsea as the offence was
committed outside the penalty box - and Hazard sent goalkeeper Samir
Handanovic the wrong way from the spot.
Inter were reduced to 10 men in the 58th minute when Hugo Campagnaro
was given a straight red card for a dangerous challenge on a grounded
John Terry, who escaped injury and went on to complete the full 90
minutes.
Fernando Torres came on for the closing stages but the nearest he
came to scoring was a left-foot shot from the edge of the area which was
easily saved by Juan Pablo Carrizo, while another substitute Demba Ba
brought a good save out of Carrizo 10 minutes from time.
Next up for Chelsea are Inter's cross-city rivals AC Milan, with the two teams meeting in New York's MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
Mourinho's men start their Premier League campaign on August 18, with newly-promoted Hull the visitors to Stamford Bridge.
