    • Bremen
    • 90'+3 Thanks for joining us tonight... there's plenty of UEFA Cup action to enjoy tomorrow... be sure to join us then!
    • 90'+2 And that's all there's time for! The full time whistle sounds and Bremen win a point in Milan!
    • 90'+1 Oooh! Right at the death Bremen nearly steal all three points! Naldo hammers a free kick at Julio Cesar, who can only palm the ball out to Pizarro! But the on-loan striker lashes the rebound wide of the mark!
    • 90' Two minutes of added time to be added.
    • 88' Oooh! Maicon goes so close to winning it for Inter! The full-back fires goalwards with the outside of his boot, only to see his effort strike the outside of the post!
    • 86' Here comes another Bremen change... off goes Prodl and on comes Fritz.
    • 85' Ibra delivers a lovely ball into the mixer with the outside of his right boot! But Cruz can't quite get there, despite a gallent slide!
    • 83' Jensen wastes no time at all in getting involved... yellow card for the Dane already.
    • 82' Ozil off, Jensen on, as Bremen look to sit on a point.
    • 80' Oooh! Ibra back heels towards an unmarked Cruz in the centre! Only an alert Naldo stops the ball reaching its intended target...
    • 78' Time for Bremen to make a change... off trots Rosenberg and on comes Aaron Hunt... and Inter make a change too as Julio Cruz replaces Adriano.
    • 76' Quaresma lets fly with a long range effort... wide of the mark, but Inter are looking the more likely to grab a winner here.
    • 75' Ibra wins another Inter corner as the hosts push forward... they seem to be un a rush to take it too...
    • 72' Mourinho makes a change as his side chase a winner... Quaresma on for Stankovic.
    • 71' Mertesacker rises to meet a corner with his head! But it's wide of the mark this time...
    • 68' Frings is the next to go into the book... and Inter will have another free kick.
    • 62' GOAL! Pizarro pulls Bremen level as he slides in to divert a back post Ozil cross past Julio Cesar! And the Bundesliga side are back on level terms! It's been coming since the break...
    • 61' Oh dear... Naldo takes it, but his effort is way, way over the bar.
    • 60' Stankovic goes into the book for a trip on Diego... he deserves that one... and this could be dangerous... free kick 30 yards out.
    • 58' Brilliant from Diego! He flicks a pass from Prodl up in the air before connecting on the half volley! Julio Cesar is equal to it though...
    • 56' Pasanen fancies his chances from distance here... but the wind takes the ball way into the stands behind Julio Cesar's goal.
    • 54' Adriano takes the free kick... but it's easy for Weise.
    • 53' Yellow card for Diego as the Brazilian protests a little too much after a decision goes Inter's way....
    • 52' Straight down to the other end and Ibra slices a half volley wide of the mark!
    • 51' Ozil again brings Julio Cesar into action with another sharp drive! This time the Inter keeper hangs on to it at the first attempt!
    • 48' Adriano lets fly! But the Brazilian drags his effort wide of the mark and Weise isn't troubled.
    • 47' No changes to tell you about at the break... but both sides have players warming up on the sidelines.
    • 46' Back underway in Milan!
    • 45'+2 Diego lofts it in... but the whistle goes and that'll be the end of the opening period!
    • 45'+1 Muntari flies into a challenge and concedes a free kick, 35 yards out... this could be dangerous...
    • 45' Oooh! Ballotelli gets on the end of Adriano's cross to prod the ball goalwards! But Weisse pulls out a super diving save to deny the youngster!
    • 44' Oooh! Ozil brings Julio Cesar into action with a sharp shot from 25 yards out! The Inter keeper can't hold on to it, but scrambles to claim it at the second attempt.
    • 43' Bremen are enjoying a bit of possession as the first half draws to a conclusion...
    • 41' Pizarro tees up Rosenberg on the edge of the box... but the Bremen striker blasts the ball way into the stands behind Julio Cesar's goal! Better from the Bundesliga side...
    • 40' OFF THE POST! Bremen so close to equalising! It's Pizarro who gets on the end of a Prodl cross but his rather mis-hit effort under pressure from Julio Cesar bounces against the upright and the Inter remain a goal to the good!
    • 37' Stankovic! Oh, the Inter midfielder miscontrols just as the ball reaches him in the middle and the chance goes begging!
    • 35' Deigo takes a tumble under a Muntari challenge, but the referee waves play on...
    • 32' Zanetti does well to get to the by-line... the Argentine clips a cross into the middle, but there are no blue and black shirts there and Bremen are able to clear.
    • 30' Cambiasso and Muntari with a neat little interchange on the edge of the box... Inter are looking the better side after half an hour of play...
    • 27' Stankovic lets fly from 25 yards! But his effort hits Ibra and doesn't even get through...
    • 25' This is better from Bremen... they're applying a bit of pressure on the Inter defence now... Ozil is orchestrating things out on the left... but he's unlucky not to win a corner as the ball cannons back off him for a goal kick.
    • 23' Adriano looks to link up again with Ibra... but this time his deft back heel doesn't find its intended target and the chance to unlock the Bremen defence passes.
    • 21' Adriano shows all his strength and pace to get past Bauman... and the Bremen man is forced into giving away a free kick... yellow.
    • 19' Inter are forced into an early change... Materazzi hobbles off and is replaced by Burdisso. That could have major repercussions for the Nerazzurri...
    • 14' Bremen try to hit back straight away and Diego forces Julio Cesar into action with a crisp effort from distance!
    • 13' GOAL! Inter take the lead through Maicon! The ball falls to the Brazilian rather fortuitously after Bauman inadvertantly directs the ball into his path after a challenge with Adriano... Maicon takes it up, advances towards goal and dinks a lovely effort over the advancing Weise! Superb effort, and from a full back too!
    • 10' Adriano and Ibra are linking up well tonight... this time the Brazilian wins another corner after a strong run forward.
    • 9' But the third one doesn't come to anything, and Stankovic is pulled up for a foul on Ozil.
    • 8' Materazzi rises to meet the corner... and Pizarro is forced into heading behind for another corner...
    • 7' Adriano now feeds Ibra... the Swede controls the deep cross beautifully on his chest before firing a volley goalwards! Deflected behind for a corner!
    • 6' Mourinho looks cool, calm and collected in the dugout... so far at least.
    • 4' Worth noting that the stadium is far from full tonight... unlike the weekend's Milan derby, when you couldn't buy a ticket for love nor money.
    • 3' Excellent opening at the Giuseppe Meazza!
    • 2' At the other end, Naldo lets fly from distance! But he doesn't catch it too cleanly and the ball bounces into Julio Cesar's arms without causing any alarm.
    • 1' Oooh! Ibrahimovic feeds Adriano in the middle... the Brazilain takes it down and launches a brilliant scissor kick goalwards! Inches over the bar!
    • 1' Here we go! Underway in Milan!

    • - And Bremen like this: Wiese, Pasanen, Naldo, Mertesacker, Prodl, Ozil, Baumann, Frings, Rosenberg, Diego, Pizarro -Subs: Vander, Boenisch, Vranjes, Fritz, Hunt, Sanogo, Jensen
