- 67' Guarin dinks a free-kick into the path of Cambiasso, who can only knock the ball into the arms of Gillet.

- 64' Meggiorini is on the deck needing some treatment after clashing with Ranocchia out wide.

46' We are off and running at the start of this second period.- 45+3' A real comfortable half for Inter Milan. They lead 1-0 thanks to that Milito strike. Looking good for an away win here.
- 44' Three minutes to be added to the first half.
- 43' Bianchi goes to ground, but now it seems that Jonathan is needing a spot of treatment. Shoulder injury by the looks of things.
- 42' Milito tries to dig out the shot, but fails to connect properly with the ball. Looked like he was fouled there, but the referee waves play on.
- 41' Sneijder hammers a shot wide of goal from 25 yards out. That will be a goalkick to Torino. Inter well in the comfort zone here.
- 40' Guarin tries to feed Milito, but he just strayed offside. A free-kick from the back for Torino.
- 39' A real tough examination this for Torino. Inter playing with plenty of patience and ring craft. Milito leading the line superbly well.
- 38' Sneijder can't pick out a team-mate with the corner, but Guarin almost picks out Milito. Inches away from connecting.
- 37' Guarin's shot is deflected behind for a corner to Inter. Which will be thrown in by Sneijder.

- 35' Nagatomo forces Handanovic to punch the ball away after he found himself under pressure from Bianchi in his own box.
- 34' Nagatomo has been booked for kicking the ball away. Stupid stuff from the Inter player it must be said.
- 33' Cambiasso knocks a hopeful ball down the line before Nagatomo is deemed to be offside from a Sneijder pass.
- 32' Brighi penalised for handling the ball. Protests his innocence. More frustration for Torino then.
- 31' Sgrigna is penalised for going too early and that will a free-kick to Inter deep in their own half.
- 30' Inter working hard to ensure Torino can't get a cross into their area. Torino sitting pretty deep. Not really throwing caution to the wind.
- 29' Meanwhile, Nagatomo herds the ball out of play for a goalkick to the visiting side. All good at the moment for Inter.
- 28' Ranocchia and Jonathan collide going for the same ball. Looks like he is going to need a spot of treatment.
- 27' Stevanovic manages to get the cross ahead of Nagatomo, but easy pickings for Handanovic in the Inter Milan goal.
- 26' Inter beginning to see more and more of the ball. Happy to go backwards. Inter in control of the ball at the moment.
- 25' Crisp strike by Sneijder around the wall, but Gillet dives low to his left to keep out the shot. Great save and shot.
- 24' Exceptional run by Zanetti. Not that you would expect anything else from him. Free-kick on the edge of the home box.
- 23' Masiello brings Zanetti crashing to the deck with a body check and he is booked for that challenge.
- 22' Pereira off the park getting some treatment here before play continues. That Milito goal has knocked the wind out of Torino sails.
- 21' That is an awful challenge. Fortunate to avoid a straight red card for that challenge. Poor, poor stuff it must be said.
- 20' Gillet lifts the goalkick long down the park before Bianchi is booked for a late tackle on Pereira.
- 19' Inter remain with only one shot at goal and one goal. Talk about taking your chances.
- 18' Zanetti on the deck, but is back up quickly. What a player Zanetti remains for Inter. A true leader in every sense.
- 17' Solid piece of defending by Juan. Meanwhile, Bianchi seems to have taken a dull one and is needing some treatment.
- 16' Torino have lost their last eight home games vs Inter in Serie A, scoring overall only two goals. Not the best stat when you are one down.
- 15' Juan back to head the ball clear in front of Bianchi. Decent move by Torino, but the final ball is not there.
- 14' No need now for Inter to throw bodies forward. Not that they were doing so before they netted. That was their first shot of the night.
- 13' Ogbonna drives the ball at goal from distance, but Handanovic is down quickly to make the stop. His first save of the night.
- 12' Bianchi tries an audacious backheel, but wide of the goal. Inter comfortable with this lead so far.
- 11' That goal came right out of nowhere. Torino had won the ball from Sneijder, but suddenly it is in the home net. Silence around the ground.
- 10' GOAL! Milito smashes the ball home from 25 yards out. Blistering finish from the forward. A 1-0 lead for Inter.
- 9' Torino just shading possession here. Certainly seem to be more direct than the visitors.
- 8' Nice piece of possession play by Inter. Keeping the ball well here in their own half.
- 7' Torino and Inter share the record for the most consecutive Serie A triumphs, with five apiece. Torino set the record between 1943-49 and Inter equalled it between 2006-10.
- 6' First attack of the game from Inter as Sneijder sent Nagatomo scampering down a flank. Decent cross, but just fails to pick out Milito in the middle.
- 5' Sgrigna caught marginally offside there. Inter Milan playing a high line and what could be deemed a dangerous game.
- 4' Guarin winning the ball ahead of Gazzi in the air. Vibrant enough start by the home side here. No clear-cut chances yet.
- 3' Santana caught just offside from Jonathan's pass through the middle.
- 2' Jonathan goes to ground. Appeals for a foul, but the referee doesn't want to know. Plenty of smoke around the pitch.
1' Torino get this match off and running here.- 19.40 Juventus continue to set the pace in Serie A courtesy of a 3-1 win at Genoa this afternoon. Read about it here... Juventus sink Genoa with second-half blitz
