    Time:90'
    • Internazionale
    • Reggina
    • 90' There goes the final whistle! And it's a comfortable win for Inter who extend their lead at the top of Serie A to nine points!
    • 85' Aronica fires goalwards... he doesn't catch it quite right though... Lanzaro gets to it but heads over the bar!
    • 80' Suazo turns and the Reggina defence opens up sligthly for him... he opts to shoot, but Campagnolo is equal to it!
    • 78' Aronica piles into Suazo... that's a terrible challenge and the ref agrees... yellow for the Reggina man.
    • 77' Oooh! Julio Cesar leaps towards the top corner to paw Halfredsson's effort away! It's a decent save, but it was really for the cameras!
    • 75' Another change now for Reggina... off goes Brienza and on comes Makinwa...
    • 74' Figo's first contribution to the game is to get booked... not the best of starts for him!
    • 73' Looks like this game is going to peter out now... surely there's no way back for Reggina....
    • 72' Here comes Luis Figo... the Portuguese pensioner comes on to replace Patrick Vieira...
    • 67' Reggina are slightly on top at the moment... it's the visitors who are doing most of teh pressing.
    • 66' Oooh! Burdisso races in to hack away as Cozza looked like he was about to swoop!
    • 65' Inter make a change... Jiminez is hauled off, and Rivas comes on to replace him... he's not to happy about that one...
    • 63' Tognozzi goes into the book now...
    • 61' Julio Cesar to Inter's rescue once again! This time the Brazilian gets down well to deny Amoruso after Reggina had carved open the hosts defence!
    • 58' Reggina make a double change... Cozza and Hallfredsson on for Missiroli and Modesto...
    • 57' Ibra clashes with Valdez... the Swede hits the deck, and the ref gives Inter a free kick...
    • 55' The game's a little scrappy at the moment... neither side are really playing with any real fluidity...
    • 52' It's all going off here... Crillo goes in on Stankovic with his studs showing... understandable the Inter man doesn't like it... Crillo goes into the book...
    • 48' If things stay as they are, Inter will extend their lead at the top of the table to nine points, with Roma not playing until Sunday, against Napoli.
    • 46' Inter have made a change at half-time - David Suazo is on for Hernan Crespo, who had suffered that blow to his head before the break...
    • 46' Back underway in Milan!
    • 45'+2 There goes the whistle! And Inter hit the dressing rooms in control of the game, thanks to an Ibrahimovic spot kick and Nicolas Burdisso's header!
    • 45' Two minutes of added time to be played at the end of the opening half...
    • 45' Oooh! Ibra strikes the cross bar with a thunderbolt from a free kick! Campagnolo is rooted to the spot, and it that one was a few inches lower, Inter would be three goals to the good!
    • 43' Crespo is now sporting a heavy bandage, following that earlier clash with Aronica...
    • 42' Amouruso now tries his luck from distance, but he drags his effort wide of the upright!
    • 39' Oooh! Reggina nearly hit back through Aronica! But Julio Cesar is equal to it and saves with his feet!
    • 34' GOAL! Inter are back on track as Burdisso heads home from a Jiminez free kick into the box! He nets from a standing start, which asks questions of the Reggina defence, but Inter aren't bothered how they scored... they lead 2-0!
    • 31' Look at that from Brienza! Lovely turn from the Palermo-owned midfielder... only Materazzi trips him up to spoil his big moment.
    • 29' Julio Cesar is brought into action twice in as many minutes - first to deny Barreto from outside the box and then to save from a lovely Valdez volely!
    • 25' Crespo stays down after that incident, and that prompts Roberto Mancini to send David Suazo out to warm up...
    • 24' At the other end, Crespo nearly gets to Stankovic's lofted cross to the far post! But Aronica gets there first and the chance goes begging!
    • 23' Reggina have responded well to going behind... Julio Cesar flaps at a cross before Aronica lets fly from distance! Wide of the mark again, but Reggina are threatening to bag an equalsier here...
    • 22' Missiroli becomes the first to go into the book - for a trip on Zanetti....
    • 21' Modesto stings Julio Cesar's fingers with a decent effort from a narrow angle!
    • 18' Television replays show the penalty perhaps should have been a free kick on the edge of the box... another case of Inter getting their own way at home?
    • 17' Inter look good tonight! Stankovic sends over a cross with the outside of his right boot... just cut out in time by Valdez, with Zanetti lurking behind!
    • 15' Oh dear, Reggina have it all to do now... that's the worst possible start for them...
    • 14' GOAL! Ibrahimovic get the champions on their way, sending Campagnolo the wrong way from the spot! 1-0 Inter!
    • 13' Shock horror! Inter are given a penalty at home! Cambiasso bursts into the box and is upended by a combo of Valdez and Tognozzi! In all fairness, that had penalty written all over it!
    • 11' Inter are looking threatening when they move forward....
    • 9' Oooh! What a miss from Crespo! The Argentine leaps well to meet a Maicon cross with a header but it glances off his forehead and goes wide of the post!
    • 7' Brilliant from Ibrahimovic! He gives a Ronaldinho-esque no-look pass as Inter string a few passes together! No end product this time though...
    • 3' Reggina haven't started too badly... Brienza lets fly with a long range effort... wide of the mark this time but promising nonetheless!
    • 1' Underway at the Giuseppe Meazza!
    • - Hello and welcome to tonight's first Serie A clash between champions Inter and Reggina! The league leaders can further extend their lead at the top of the table with victory in Milan tonight, with Roma not playing until Sunday, while second bottom Reggina are desperate for some points.
