Live Commentary
Time:90'- Internazionale
- Cagliari
90+3' And there's the whistle - Cagliari get a draw at Inter when for a while it looked like they would get more. The hosts had plenty of chances to be home and dry but did not make good on them. An entertaining tussle in Milan. Thanks for joining us today and be sure to follow @liamhappe on Twitter...
90+2' Agazzi committed! Palacio has an open goal! Great block from a defender! Coutinho! Deflected wide! Bodies on the line to protect this draw!- 90+1' Ranocchia is advanced as Inter look for a winner and receives a central pass just inside the area. Good turn under pressure and he goes down! No penalty! Astori the guilty party but replays show though it did appear a foul, it was just outside the box in fact.
- 90' Three minutes added on.
- 89' Another big-time Alvarez cross, this time lofted from the right flank, and it's inches from being converted from two yards by Nagatomo at the far post!
- 88' Pinilla is fouled as he comes back to help defend and will milk things as much as possible.
- 87' More great hold-up play on the counter by Ibarbo looks like it will win the away side their first corner since the interval as Pinilla and Ranocchia go 50-50, but it's deemed a goal kick.
- 85' Around the same time as Inter's own-goal leveller, Catania doubled their lead at home to Chievo.
- 84' Mad stuff - almost 3-2 Inter from yet another corner for the hosts! The ball falls loose in the middle after Cambiasso's header. Palacio has a close range shot blocked before Ranocchia of all people goes airborne to send a wicked shot at goal, which Agazzi parries!
83' And what a quick impact! Alvarez turns in a low cross from the right which is put in by Astori! Own goal and Inter are level at 2-2!
82' Cassano makes way for Ricardo Alvarez.- 81' Milito with a classy placed strike from 20 yards which is deflected behind for Inter's sixth corner of this second half alone. But Gargano fouls his marker as a goalmouth scramble threatens to break loose.
- 80' With his back to goal Palacio tries to head a Zanetti cross into Milito's path but it's cleared away.
- 78' Cassano is relegated to having a go from 30 yards, firing well off-target.
- 77' But the cross from Dessena is deflected out of danger and Inter hold on to the ball.
- 76' Ibarbo keeps the counter-attacking methods going for the visitors, holding up extremely well when Inter get numbers back in time.
- 75' And Cagliari make their final switch straight afterward with Victor Ibarbo on for Sau.
- 74' Inter's first change sees Philippe Coutinho come on for Juan Jesus.
73' Conti sees yellow as he wrestles Cambiasso to the ground in the centre-circle.- 72' Another corner now from the hosts. Cagliari break from it but Nagatomo is back to cover.
- 71' No direct chance from the corner but Inter remain entrenched in the final third.
- 70' Milito under pressure is able to squeeze a low shot from 10 yards which Agazzi has to push around the near post.
- 69' Another away side counter almost puts Sau through on his hat-trick, but he's forced wide and the cross is eventually put over by Conti.
- 68' Daniele Dessena is on for Cossu in Cagliari's second change, their first voluntary one though of course.
- 67' A deserved lead from the well set-up and ambitious Cagliari. Inter will look back at that Milito two-yard miss though.
- 66' The rebound from Pinilla's excellent volley falls to Sau who fakes out Handanovic and a defender and recovers from a loss of footing to tuck in his second! Cagliari lead 2-1!
- 65' More lengthy Inter pressure and again Cagliari counter. Cross in from the left and Pinilla appears to be behind it... acrobatic volley! Off the post!
- 64' Sau reacts quickly to a deflected free-kick follow-up coming his way but not with enough quality to trouble Handanovic with his header,.
- 63' Cynical foul by Ekdal puts him in the book.
- 62' In fact, Inter now the only home team not ahead.
- 61' Catania lead at home to Chievo and that's a goal in every game now.
- 60' Cagliari staple together a counter-attack with some brave one-touch play under heavy pressure but Cossu has nowhere to go but off-target with a spectulative effort.
- 59' Inter try to press on the follow-up as well, but still they remain at 1-1.
- 58' Milito! Fierce drive parried by Agazzi!
- 56' It's 4-1 Fiorentina and 3-0 Bologna while Udinese are back in front.
- 55' Sau has found space tight in the Inter box to have a dig... but his chance at a second goes off-target.
- 54' Now Nagatomo crosses low from the left and finds Milito two yards out with the goal at his mercy... and he somehow puts it over. A complete and utter sitter. Incredible.
- 53' Milito goes down in the box as Inter attack again... ref says it was soft.
- 52' Milito has a dig but it hits the wall.
- 51' Palacio stampedes toward the 'D' but is brought down by Astori for yet another booking. Not only that, but a 20-yard free-kick which provides a big chance for Inter here.
- 50' Nainggolan picks up a yellow sliding in rash on Zanetti when a though pass in his direction is overhit.
- 49' Cassano turns Rossettini and cuts back from the byline to Milito, who takes a touch and forces a good stop from Agazzi!
- 48' Almost a Cagliari error which allows Cassano to meet Cambiasso's interception, but it's soon cleaned up.
- 47' Few goals since we last checked in elsewhere - Bologna now 2-0 up over Palermo, Parma have levelled at Udinese and Aquilani has his first ever career brace as Fiorentina lead Atalanta 3-1.
46' Inter get the second half started.- 45+2' Half-time and Cagliari have worked hard to undo Inter's early efforts. 1-1 with 45 to go. Who do you fancy, the favourites or the underdogs? Let me know on Twitter @liamhappe
- 45+1' Two minutes added on at the end of the first half. Curious as the Nene injury ate up about four.
- 45' Atalanta's parity did not last as Aquilani has restored the Fiorentina lead.
- 44' With Pisano receiving treatment off-pitch at the time, that's a goal for 10-man Cagliari to boot...
- 43' GOAL CAGLIARI! Sliding close range finish from Sau to convert Cossu's excellent diagonal driven cross from the left. 1-1!
- 42' Now Pisano is down on the grass for Cagliari.
- 41' Inter take the free-kick short but give the ball away cheaply. Cagliari have the numbers advantage on the break here! Gargano stops that with a deliberate trip on Pinillia, taking a yellow and a match suspension as his sacrifice.
- 40' Sau brings down Cassano and goes into the book himself.
- 39' Bonaventura has equalised for Atalanta at Fiorentina. 1-1.
- 38' And play is finally back underway.
- 37' Mauricio Pinilla comes on in his place as Nene is stretchered off.
- 35' His eyes look glazed.. A concussion is likely.
- 34' Bad news for the away side is that Nene smacked heads with his marker and has a nice stream of claret running down his forehead.
- 33' NENE! Great header from an Avelar cross out on the right and Handanovic with another top save!

- 30' Handbags between Juan Jesus and Rossettini over the ball as it goes out for a Cagliari throw.
- 29' Another Cagliari corner is met at the near post by Astori! Great save by Handanovic! Parried it both away from goal and from the path of the approaching white shirts!
- 28' In fact, the offside flag was up and Milito couldn't have scored anyway.
- 27' An Inter cross from the left is almost deflected right to the feet of Milito eight yards from goal, but Astori reacts well to get a second nick on it and keep the ball from danger.
- 26' As Cagliari come forward again, Cambiasso cynically trips Sau and gets the game's first booking.
- 25' The hosts get as far as the Cagliari box with a short-passing move, but lose their way at the crucial time.
- 24' Now Nainggolan strides forward to the edge of the Inter box once more. Has Nene available for a tight through pass but curls towards goal, where Handanovic has it covered.
- 23' Bologna have taken the lead at home to Palermo through Gilardino.
- 22' Nagatomo torments the white shirts at the back before his cross from the byline is caught by Agazzi.
- 20' Poor attempt at a cross-field pass from Palacio puts Nainggolan in a position to punish Inter, but his through pass attempt is wasteful.
- 19' Good possession from the away side in the middle of the park.
- 18' A switch to long balls from Cagliari but it only triggers the offside flag.
- 16' Nene trips Ranocchia inside the Inter half. Free-kick.
- 15' Another corner won by Inter, but Cassano's delivery flashes past the crowded box.
- 14' The visitors remain liable to score here, and Handanovic doesn't convince coming out for a driven Cossu cross. Nene just unable to get onto it though.
- 13' Gonzalo Rodriguez was the scorer for the Viola, by the way.
- 12' So that's three home leads in 10 minutes across the six 2pm kick-offs. Bologna-Palermo, Catania-Chievo and Siena-Pescara remain scoreless for now. Sampdoria entertain Genoa later tonight.
- 11' Ten in 12 - some haul from the forward.
- 10' GOAL INTER! Cassano's early reverse cross from the left is met by the head of Palacio for the Argentine's fifth straight goalscoring contest. 1-0!
- 9' Di Natale's 170th goal has put Udinese ahead at home to Parma and Fiorentina lead by the same score at home to Atalanta.
- 8' Avelar crosses from the left-hand byline and Nene meets it with some style on the leaping volley, but Handanovic parries and then holds onto the loose ball.
- 7' Cassano delivers the free-kick from the right channel to the near post, where Juan Jesus bullets the header wide.
- 6' Conti hacks down Zanetti on the slide and the official appears to consider getting his cards out early, but opts to let him off with talking to.
- 5' The corner is dealt with this time before Ekdal drives well wide from 30 yards.
- 4' Samuel plays safe as Pisano again bombs down the right, touching it out for an away team corner. That comes off the head of Samuel once more for a second flag kick in succession.
- 3' Now Cagliari launch a quick attack but the cut-back from the right is intercepted.
- 2' Inter win a corner early on and from it, Samuel heads over.
