Gladbach had levelled through Alassane Plea in first-half stoppage time after Matteo Darmian's 17th minute opener for Inter, and the Frenchman cut the deficit in the 76th before having an 84th minute effort ruled out for an offside by VAR.
Gladbach are top on eight points from five games, one ahead of Shakhtar and Real Madrid after the Ukrainians earlier beat the visiting Spaniards 2-0. Inter have five points. All four teams will battle to reach the last 16 on the final matchday.
