Time:90'- Internazionale
- Palermo
90+4' Full-time! Three valuable points for Inter who were the better side over 90 but had to rely on a Palermo own goal for the victory. Thanks for joining us today, read the full report shortly on the Yahoo!-Eurosport website and follow me on Twitter @liamhappe- 90+3' Inter are back to 11 men as Guarin fouls von Bergen.
- 90+2' Roma have scored twice late on and are winning 3-1 at Siena, while Genoa trail by two for a third time. Chievo 4-2 up away from home thanks to Stoian.
- 90+1' Despite all this, it's still Inter looking more likely to score late on.
- 90' Well, the fourth official was going to show three minutes but after Ranocchia is brought off, it goes up to four due to the stoppage.
- 89' Ranocchia stays down after a foul by Garcia, and may well leave Inter defending their lead in stoppage time with 10 men.
- 88' Zahavi trips Morganella but Handanovic's rather direct free-kick gets Palacio flagged off in short order.
- 87' ...that ends swiftly as Budan's ball to fellow sub Giorgi triggers the flag.
- 86' Guarin tries to get on the end of it but Palermo clear and may counter here...
- 85' Now Morganella concedes a corner as Inter look for breathing space late on.
- 84' Coutinho is felled by Morganella out on the left flank, but the free-kick is dealt with.
- 82' Bologna lead again through Gabbiadini and Cagliari have a consolation through Dessena.
81' It's Cambiasso who will make way for Mariga, which means the Inter armband is traded off again. Samuel becomes their third leader of the match. And that's all six subs used.- 80' Inter have one left, and it looks set to be McDonald Mariga. But first, Palermo have a free-kick just inside the hosts' half which they will send deep.
- 79' Final Palermo change: Dybala off and Eran Zahavi is on.
- 78' Now Cambiasso has a dig from outside the box, but it's just over.
77' Coutinho! Almost volleys in a second from Palacio's headed flick-on! Great parry by Ujkani!- 76' Ilicic makes way for Igor Budan in the visitors' second change as Gian Piero Gasperino looks to instigate a fightback for his side.
- 75' It's at a horrible time and in horrible fashion but Inter have been far more attack-minded in this half after a more balanced first 45.
74' GOAL INTER! And it's an own goal by Garcia! Ranocchia's early cross was unfortunately tucked inside the near post by the defender's attempted slide clearance. 1-0!- 73' Wasted free-kick yet again from the visitors, who have not been too sharp in this half.
72' Samuel is Inter's second booked player as he fouls Dybala.- 70' Roma have levelled at Siena and it's Destro with the goal. Udinese have four now against Cagliari thanks to Pasquale and Parma have pulled one back at Lazio via Belfodil from the spot.
- 69' Assured possession from Cambiasso before passing backwards from the 'D' to Coutinho, who drags a low shot safely wide.
- 68' Brienza is the man who makes way, and on comes Giorgi.
- 67' Looks like Palermo's first change is also upon us...
- 65' Almost an instant sub impact! Guarin is teed up to drive in a deadly low cross from the right, which Ujkani does well to get a hand to in order to prevent the Colombian picking out former Porto colleague Pereira for a tap-in!
- 64' But first, a double switch as Milito makes way for Fredy Guarin and Zanetti hands the captain's armband over to Cambiasso before being replaced by Nagatomo.
- 63' Free-kick is lumped forward and knocked behind for another Inter corner.
- 62' Kurtic becomes the third booked Palermo player as he brings down Coutinho during an Inter breakaway in the middle of the park.
- 60' Atalanta have equalised at Bologna through German Denis. Jankovic has pulled Genoa back within one again and they now trail at home to Chievo 3-2, and Udinese are 3-0 up at home to Cagliari courtesy of Danilo.
- 59' The hosts keep the pressure on though and another cross attempt falls at the feet of Ranocchia eight yards out.... just over! If that were a striker...
- 58' Pereira has a shot closed down from the far side after the set piece is overhit.
- 57' Another Inter corner as Palermo have thus far been very pragmatic in this half.
- 56' Palermo get the flag kick away too but Inter have started the second half quite well here.
- 55' The free-kick is pumped forward and put out by Morganella for a corner.
- 54' Garcia hacks down the pacy Pereira and gets booked for his troubles.
- 53' Now Palacio has a crack, but that too is off-target.
- 52' Coutinho fires over the bar at the end of a decent one-touch short-pass sequence by the home side.
- 51' Lovely back-heel by Ilicic almost squares Dybala for a shot inside the 'D'. Inter cut out the threat before he can fire away, though.
- 50' Speaking of Palacio, he draws the flag as Coutinho slides a through pass into the area.
- 49' Nagatomo is intensifying his warm-ups on the touchline and may soon be introduced to try and get Inter some more width. Palacio has had to drift around to diversify their attacks so far.
- 48' Early foul just inside the Palermo half as Brienza is bundled over by Milito.
- 47' There was one late first-half goal elsewhere, as Paloschi restored Chievo's two-goal cushion at Genoa with a neat headed finish. He's on a hat-trick now. Serie A multiplex
46' We are back underway as Inter kick the second half off.
- Will Inter find their cutting edge in the second half or do Palermo have enough about them here to do a number on the fancied hosts? Let me know what you think via Twitter at @liamhappe- 45' Palermo get the set piece danger away and half time is called after just a few extra seconds.
- 44' Hot finish to the half from Inter: Palacio's low cross just behind Coutinho before the Argentine also has a shot of his own put behind from the corner.
- 43' Palacio with some dogged pressing almost creates another chance for striker partner Milito.
- 41' The set piece is headed away from goal before Brienza's second delivery sees Munoz caught offside.
- 40' Pereira trips up Morganella cynically and is booked. Tasty free-kick, too.
- 39' Angella makes it two for Udinese against Cagliari but Genoa have pulled one back at home to Chievo, trailing 1-2 now.
- 38' The corner is whipped in but cleared comfortably.
- 37' Barreto then does a turn at the other end as the hosts come straight back forward, with the midfielder putting a low centre by Coutinho out for a corner.
- 36' Handanovic is called into action as Brienza tees up a looong strike from Barreto. Was about 35 yards out but on target, Handanovic diving low to his right.
- 35' Klose has made it 2-0 for Lazio against Parma while both Siena and Udinese are leading at home now against Roma and Cagliari respectively.
- 34' The 20-yard set piece is blocked by the wall and here come the visitors on the break.... but after Ilicic skips past two challenges his speculative drive sails wide of the near post.
- 33' Now Cambiasso looks to set Pereira free on the left-hand corner of the penalty area but before he can get there, Morganella brings him down.
- 32' Cambiasso has a dig, Ujkani holds on once more.
- 31' Now another corner for Inter, their second to the guests' one.
- 30' Could be important that the striker makes as much magic as possible in these early stages, as Palermo are certainly looking capable of making their own chances.
- 29' Lovely turn by Milito makes a fool of von Bergen but the shot is marginally over the top corner.
- 28' Inter clear the corner, and the subsequent second delivery, before the offside flag ends the pressure.
- 27' Good move from Palermo now on the counter led by Munoz before teeing up a Brienza cross which Samuel puts out for a corner before Dybala can try to convert from close range.
- 25' Dainelli has doubled Chievo's lead at Genoa while Lazio now lead Parma in Rome through Biava.
- 24' Dybala! Almost puts the visitors in front with a header from Morganella's decent cross. Just flashes wide!
- 23' Pereira shoots well over from a 25-yard Inter free-kick.
- 22' A mazy run with Coutinho holding off three defenders until his final ball attempt is headed away by a fourth.
- 20' And now Diamanti has given Bologna the lead at home to Atalanta.
- 19' Barreto does foul Coutinho moments later, however, and gets the game's first booking.
- 18' Almost a greco-roman wrestling match between Coutinho and Munoz in the corner. In fairness, it's a foul by the Inter man first and foremost.
- 17' We have our first 2pm kick-off goal in Italy and it's come at Genoa where Chievo have taken the lead through an Alberto Paloschi penalty.
- 16' Poor set piece but Palermo are set up to cope with the counter attempt.
- 15' Samuel again makes his presence known to Dybala with a free-kick 30 yards out.
- 14' Pereira with a wonderfully acrobatic bicycle kick clearance inside his own box. Huzzah!

- 12' The flag kick yields a header on target by Samuel, but again Ujkani saves.
- 11' Almost a chance for Inter as Milito bombs forward on the break but Pisano deflects his shot behind for a corner after he enters the penalty area.
- 10' We will also endeavour to bring you all the goalflashes from the other 2pm kick-offs - six in total including this match. Serie A: LIVE
- 8' Ranocchia is deemed by the official to have dripped up Dybala, but nothing comes from the left-sided set piece.
- 7' There were goals galore in the early Serie A kick-off as Napoli thrashed bottom club Pescara to keep their title challenge strong. Report

- 5' Now it's Garcia bringing down Zanetti but Inter take this one short.
- 4' Skipper Zanetti ships it in and Palacio gets his head on it, but Ujkani catches it safely.
