90+4' Full-time! Inter go fourth with a solid 3-1 win in an entertaining contest with Chievo.
90+2' Late booking for Stankovic.- 90' Four minutes added on.
- 89' Stretcher comes out, he's got some severe cramp and Inter will see out this match with 10 men.
- 88' Play halts with Palacio down in agony.
- 87' Poor header by Pellissier but the away side remain in possession.
- 86' Hetemaj nips into the box off a Luciano flick and wins a corner when his low cross takes a deflection.
85' Final change of the match as Kuzmanovic makes way for new boy Ezequiel Schelotto.- 84' Poor delivery by Luciano is headed away before it can even get to the penalty area.
- 83' Free-kick Chievo out on the left will be sent into the box.
- 81' Inter are in majestic form at the moment. Palacio back-heels Nagatomo through on the left but his cross is headed away.
- 80' Another Inter counter sparked by Nagatomo who feeds Palacio. The Argentine chips in a lovely inch-perfect cross to the feet of Cassano, whose shot is blocked off by Jokic.
78' Great flick by Alvarez puts Nagatomo in but Puggioni gets there just in time! Palacio on the follow-up... blocked as well!- 77' Another pair of changes before the set piece as each side brings on a loyal servant - Dejan Stankovic is on for Cambiasso while Sergio Pellissier replaces Paloschi.
- 76' Inter on the counter and Alvarez tees off at a tight angle to force a corner for Inter now off Puggioni.
- 75' Corner is half-cleared to the feet of Dainelli inside the 'D'; but Nagatomo slides in to close down the shot.
- 74' Hetemaj sends Luciano free on the right and he wins a corner off Juan Jesus.
- 72' Handball by Hetemaj ends another Chievo advance.
- 71' Beautiful flick by Paloschi into the path of Thereau on the right reminds us all that Alberto is even on the pitch. Thereau's cross is overhit, though.
- 70' Chievo make their second sub, with Luciano on for Seymour.
- 69' Jokic again unable to get a header at goal, this time due to good marking.
- 68' This is currently Chievo's best spell since going 3-1 down but Inter are keeping them out of the 18-yard zone.
- 66' Great early cross from the left by Seymour finds Jokic in space at the far post, but the defender is off-balance rising to meet it and heads across goal rather than at it.
- 65' Now a switch from the hosts as Milito will be rested after his goal, with Ricardo Alvarez replacing him.
- 64' One change for now, at least. Cofie makes way for Nikos Spyropoulos.
- 62' The visitors get it away and it looks like they will make changes soon.
- 61' Another corner for Inter off Andreolli. The hosts are now well and truly comfortable in this one having stifled their lively guests with that third goal.
- 60' Palacio tries to pick out the top corner from 20 yards and that would had been some goal had it not gone over.
- 58' Good work by Thereau and Hetemaj inside the Inter box but they're outnumbered and eventually lose out before they can create something.
- 57' Lovely interplay between Palacio and Milito, with the latter returning the ball for the former with a low cross to the six yard box... but great defending by Acerbi keeps the striker from finishing the move.
- 55' Cofie is brought down by Gargano in the middle of the park.
- 54' Lung-busting run down the right by Zanetti but none of his team-mates can keep up with him and his cross is greeted by a sea of defenders.
- 53' Raking Chievo free-kick into the Inter box is cleared. It was Cambiasso once again with the ball in for Milito by the way.
- 52' Follow-up comes to Nagatomo and again the keeper denies!
- 51' Milito's put through! Could it be two in two? Another great block with the feet by Puggioni!
50' MILITO! 3-1! He's back on centre stage with a well-taken finish which gives the hosts breathing space. Cambiasso with the short assist on the inside.- 49' Nagatomo bursts down the left but his cut-back looking for Cambiasso is cut out by Rigoni.
- 48' Cassano to Milito, but the Argentine triggers the flag.
- 47' First half was pleasurable viewing, let's hope for the game this time around.
46' Inter get the game back up and running.- 45+2' Half-time and Inter lead by 2-1. Great game so far and expect more goals in the second 45.
- 45+1' Clever headed flick into the danger zone by Rigoni, and Juan Jesus has to be alert to get there first.
- 45' Two minutes added on to the half.
- 44' Cassano tries to bring the long delivery down but Acerbi beats him to it and clears.
- 43' Milito's hold-up play in the centre-circle draws the foul from Dainelli.
- 42' Inter clear their lines from the free-kick but Cambiasso is the latest player to appear to be in discomfort.
- 41' Hetemaj does well to lure a free-kick 30 yards out from Kuzmanovic, who looks back to full swing after that nasty fall earlier.
- 40' Chievo continue to play with utmost confidence and are certainly not out of this.
- 39' Zanetti evades two defenders and skims in a neat cross from the right but Puggioni makes the catch.
- 37' It'll be Gargano... curls it onto the near upright! Palacio fails to react to the rebound coming his way and Jokic clears!
- 36' Now a free-kick from 25 yards for the hosts, from a Rigoni handball, though it'll be interesting to see who will step up with Chivu not playing.
- 35' They can't penetrate the final third though and the game starts to settle down in midfield a bit for the first time in a while. Been open stuff so far.
- 34' Corner cleared and here come Inter again.
- 33' Bit of a pause as Kuzmanovic receives treatment. He's clutching his shoulder.
- 32' Kuzmanovic mugged for position outside his own area by Rigoni, which leaves the Swiss man down in a heap, but play continues and Hetemaj settles for a corner.
- 31' Palacio is just unable to keep in Cassano's ball over the top. Goal kick.
- 30' Silly foul concede and the pressure ends for now.
- 29' Frantic defending by the visitors to keep Inter from shooting at goal from this set piece, and it leads to yet another after good work by Milito to marshall the ball out.
- 28' End-to-end stuff! Handanovic out to deny two Chievo heads from connecting with the free-kick and his punch clear launches a 2-on-1 Inter counter which sees Gargano's shot put out for a corner by Puggioni.
- 27' Moments after scoring, Ranocchia cynically brings down an advancing Hetemaj for a yellow card.
- 26' GOAL INTER! The corner swings outward to the edge of the box but that doesn't stop Ranocchia from leaping above everyone else and powering in a superb header! One of the best headed set piece goals you'll see all season. 2-1!
- 25' Corner taken short by and then returned to Cassano, whose eventual delivery is headed behind for another flag kick.
- 24' CAMBIASSO! Great block by the feet of Puggioni! That was going across him and in otherwise.
- 22' Criminal marking there from Inter. Rigoni couldn't believe his luck when able to just guide that across Handanovic.
- 21' GOAL CHIEVO! A second free-header for the visitors in the match and this time it's Rigoni four yards out and he makes no mistake. 1-1!
- 20' Good defending by Zanetti as Chievo advance on the left. Attacking throw coming up.
- 19' Free-kick is on the right just inside the Chievo half and Zanetti will pump it long, but Cassano is beaten to the ball and it's away.
- 18' Acerbi is furious but it's a yellow for Rigoni. He'll miss his side's next match.
- 17' Rigoni goes rash in on Zanetti but looks like he's won the ball. Ref calls for a free-kick though...
- 15' Offside against Thereau as he tries to latch onto Rigoni's decent through pass.
- 14' Superb 'tekkers' gets Cassano beyond Dainelli at the right-hand byline but Jokic is over to cover and clears.
- 13' Seymour is unable to keep Thereau's cross-field pass in on the left.
- 12' Thereau launches it forward into the area and finds an onside and unmarked Acerbi! He puts the header wide! Huge chance for 1-1!
- 11' Worked short once more but they're forced back and now Chievo with a free-kick on halfway as Hetemaj lures in Kuzmanovic.
- 10' Cassano brought down by Cofie for another home set piece.
- 8' Inter force a rash clearance by Andreolli, but can't create anything from the attacking throw.
- 7' Inter work the free-kick short. They've had little possession so far despite being a goal up already and this will help change that.
- 6' Acerbi clips Milito just inside his own half.
- 5' Seymour tries to keep Chievo's attacking start going but a 20-yard effort fizzles wide.
- 3' GOAL INTER! Ranocchia's initial header from the corner hits his own man Juan Jesus, but Cassano gets a second ball in and Puggioli lets it wriggle inside him at the near post! 1-0!
- 2' Positive start from the visitors but Zanetti breaks down the right and wins the first corner of the match for Inter.
