  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Anorthosis Famagusta
    • Internazionale
    • 94 Full-time 3-3!!! What a game. Inter will be wondering what on earth happened.
    • 93 Chance for Ibrahimovic, but his header drifts wide.
    • 92 Famagusta get a free-kick on halfway, which they're in no hurry to take.
    • 90 Four minutes added for stoppages.
    • 90 Famagusta deal comfortably with a poor ball into the box - could that be Inter's last chance?
    • 88 Possibly the worst pass I have ever seen from Patrick Vieira. Truly dreadful.
    • 86 Good shot from range by Panagi, but Cesar saves.
    • 84 Terrible miss by Ibrahimovic with the goal at his mercy.
    • 83 Famagusta come close on the counter attack.
    • 82 Unbelievable save denies Cambiasso.
    • 81 Inter smell blood now.
    • 80 GOAL INTER!!!!! Header from Cruz flies into the net. 3-3!!!
    • 79 Good run from Quaresma draws a free-kick 30 yards out.
    • 78 Mourinho's men are camped in the Famagusta half now - can they hold on?
    • 76 Inter just can't find a way through at the moment. Famagusta are defending well.
    • 74 Great save denies Ibrahimovic.
    • 72 Cruz tackles clumsily in the box and another Inter attack fizzles out.
    • 71 Great cross in from the right, but no Inter players in the box to attack it.
    • 70 Georgiou is down injured for Famagusta.
    • 68 Another great save from Cesar. The stopper is keeping Inter in it at the moment.
    • 67 Inter are looking rattled.
    • 66 Great chance for Famagusta, but Cesar saves from close range. Could have been 4-2!
    • 64 Speculative shot from Zanetti is deflected away from danger.
    • 63 Sub for Famagusta. Goalscorer Frousos comes off, replaced by Skopelitis.
    • 62 Mourinho is gesturing to his players to push on. This could be an embarassing result for the 'special one'.
    • 61 Decent effort by Cruz, but his header is comfortably saved.
    • 60 Famagusta look happy to just sit behind the ball and defend. Could be a dangerous policy if Inter sort themselves out.
    • 59 Vieira plays a good ball to Ibrahimovic, who fails to control it. Again.
    • 57 Inter bring on Cruz, Maxwell and Vieira.
    • 56 Dangerous ball in by Quaresma, but Famagusta defend well.
    • 54 Vieira is warming up and looks set to come on.
    • 53 Inter look like they don't know what's hit them.
    • 51 Mourinho looks distinctly unhappy.
    • 49 GOAL FAMAGUSTA!!!! They've taken the lead! Froussos rams home from inside the box.
    • 48 Famagusta seem to have survived the early Inter onslaught.
    • 46 Mourinho's men start on the front foot and come close with a deflected Cambiasso shot.
    • 45 Second half kicks-off. Let's see if Inter can sort themselves out.
    • 46 Half-time. Somehow Famagusta go in level. I think it's fair to say Mourinho will have some choice words for his players.
    • 45 GOAL FAMAGUSTA!!!!! Ball hits Panagi on the back of the head and goes in the net. Unbelievable. 2-2!!!
    • 43 GOAL INTER!!!!!! Materazzi nods home from a corner. 2-1.
    • 41 Great long-range effort from Quaresma, well saved.
    • 39 Famagusta create a decent opening after more comedy Inter defending.
    • 38 Balotelli comes close again, but his volley goes just wide.
    • 38 Mourinho's men have composed themselves and are piling on the pressure.
    • 35 Chance for Inter, but Famagusta hack clear a deflected Ibrahimovic strike.
    • 34 Dangerous ball into the Inter box - they are rocking and only have themselves to blame.
    • 33 Ibrahimovic loses the ball. Again.
    • 31 GOAL FAMAGUSTA!!!!!! Awful mix-up in the Inter defence allows Bardon to nod into an open net. 1-1.
    • 30 Balotelli duly runs back onto the pitch.
    • 29 Goalscorer Balotelli is down injured. I have a sneaking suspicion he's going to be alright.
    • 28 Inter look dangerous on the counter, but Famagusta defend well to snuff them out.
    • 26 Great chance for Inter's Stankovic, but he blazes wide from inside the area.
    • 25 Inter corner causes panic, Famagusta scramble clear.
    • 24 The way it looks at the moment Inter could have 40 winks and Famagusta still wouldn't score.
    • 22 Another free-kick wasted by Famagusta. Awful delivery.
    • 21 Mourinho is still stomping around his technical area.
    • 20 Quaresma tries his luck from long range, but is miles wide of the target.
    • 19 Inter are keeping the ball well and taking the sting out of Famagusta's revival.
    • 17 Famagusta have responded well and are mounting sustained attacks for the first time in the game.
    • 15 Mourinho, in customary fashion, still looks grumpy, despite his side's dominance.
    • 13 GOAL INTER!!!! A great free-kick from Ibrahimovic is parried by the keeper into the path of Balotelli, who taps in from close range. 1-0.
    • 11 Penalty appeal by Famagusta as they launch a blistering counter attack and Cesar rushes out of his goal, their claims are waved away.
    • 9 Ibrahimovic gives the ball away, the Swede is yet to get into his stride.
    • 7 Famagusta completely waste a free-kick from a decent position. They'll need to do better than that.
    • 6 Inter are totally bossing the game - it looks just a matter of time before they score.
    • 5 Frousos sends Materazzi crashing with a bad tackle. Zidane is probably at home, giggling.
    • 2 Mourinho is out of the dugout with a surly look on his face already.
    • 1 Great chance for Inter but the keeper pulls off a great save from Ibrahimovic.
    • 0 Patrick Vieira starts on the bench for Inter, while Famagusta have Savio and Dellas out injured.
