Live Commentary
Time:90'- Milan
- Internazionale
90+4' It's all over at the San Siro! Milan have grabbed a famous derby victory to simultaneously boost their European hopes and potentially spoil Inter's title dreams! What a match, a genuine Serie A classic! Thanks for joining us, ciao!
90+4' Jankulowski fouls on the edge of the box, and Inter have a last-minute free-kick! Julio Cruz will take... Over the bar!- 90+2' We're in the second of four minutes to be added on now. It's a real rear-guard action from Milan now. They have everyone except Kaka behind the ball!
- 89' Pirlo's free-kick is again well over, but he won't care. Unless Inter grab a late equaliser now.
88' Chivu goes into the book for a nasty tackle on Pirlo in front of goal! Materazzi joins him for dissent, of course! The upshot is that Milan have a free-kick in Pirlo country...- 86' Pirlo latches onto a through ball as the Inter defence are not concentrating, and just prods it wide of the near post! Roma are now winning 3-0!
- 84' Inter have another free-kick, in about the same position from which Julio Cruz scored. This time it's CHIVU... GREAT SAVE KALAC!! Cristian Chivu curled his left-footed shot round the wall superbly, but Kalac got two hands to it as it was headed for the top corner!
- 82' Inter have a corner. What a fightback this would be if they equalise now. The corner goes over to Materazzi at the far psot... He nods it wide.
76' Inzaghi is off to be replaced by Pato. That may seem a surprising move, but Milan have scored nine goals in their last two games with that kind of attacking mindset.
76' GOOOOOOOOOOOOL! Inter get that goal! Julio Cruz curls a wonderful free-kick around the wall and into the bottom corner with Kalac not moving a muscle! Game on!- 75' NEWSFLASH: Roma are beating Sampdoria 2-0! That really opens up the title race! all the more reason why they need to score this free-kick in a great position...
- 72' An offensive change for Inter, as Crespo is replaced by the dangerous David Suazo.
- 71' Milan are tiring fast, and Inter are the team in the ascendancy as the match moves into the final 20 minutes.
- 67' Genarro Gattuso gets a standing ovation as he goes off to be replaced by Christian Brocchi.
66' Inter have a corner but waste it and Milan can break. It's three-on-three and Kaka plays it forward for Inzaghi WHO IS OFFSIDE!! What was he thinking?!- 65' Finally we are seeing the Inter that have been top of Serie A for virtually the whole season. Maniche goes off to be replaced by 17-year-old striker Mario Balotelli.
- 63' The ball goes over the top of the Milan defence and CRESPO IS ONE-ON-ONE WITH KALAC... The keeper is off his line quickly to block the half-volley!
- 61' Inter has been jolted into life after being mugged for the second goal. The ball is in the Milan half and it's set up for MANICHE.. Shot straight at Kalac!
- 60' With an hour to go in matches around Italy, Fiorentina are still losing 2-1 at Cagliari, meaning Milan will move into fourth place with two matches to go!
- 56' GOOOOOOOOOL!! Inter's defence is in meltdown! Ambrosini dispossesses Maicon and slips the ball in to Kaka who slots a cool finish past Julio Cesar to double Milan's lead! It's hard to know who will be cheering more, Milan or Roma fans! If this result stays the same and Roma win, then they'll close the gap at the top to three points with two games remaining!
- 55' Maicon dithers with the ball in the Inter box and Kaka breathing down his neck. The Brazilian steals it off him and pulls it back for SEEDORF... Blasted well off target!
- 53' Maicon's deep cross is curling in for Julio Cruz to chase, but Kalac gets there fitrst. Cruz can't stop though and bundels right into the Australian keeper and puts him on the deck!
- 51' GOOOOOOOL!! Kaka loses Materazzi on the wing and fires in a cross that Pippo Inzaghi powers in with his head at the near post!! Finally Milan have their reward, and it's that man Inzaghi's movement that bags him his tenth Serie A goal of the season!
- 49' Milan have picked where they left off in the first half, and Gattuso's shot is deflected behind for a corner. The ball comes to AMBROSINI AT THE NEAR POST... Flicked over the bar! The Milan captain almost marked his 225th Serie A appearance for the club with a goal.
- 46' Both sides are out for the second half, and the acton is underway again!
- HT Other half-time scores from around the country are as follows: Cagliari 1 - 0 Fiorentina; Siena 1 - 0 Juventus; Atalanta 0 - 0 Livorno; Lazio 1 - 0 Palermo; Catania 0 - 1 Reggina; Sampdoria 0 - 0 Roma; Empoli 0 - 1 Udinese; Parma 0 - 0 Genoa; Torino 1 - 0 Napoli. Isn't it refreshing to see every single game played at the same time for once!
- 45+2' That's the last action of the half, and inter can count themselves lucky to still be on level terms!
- 45+1' Seedorf lifts a ball over to the far post for Kaka who knocks it back across goal for INZAGHI TO DIVE IN WITH A HEADER... WIDE OF THE FAR POST!! Julio CFesar with rooted to the spot as the ball bounced agonisingly slowly wide of the goal!
- 43' Materazzi and Kaka clash, and both are down on the floor. Kaka is up first, and Materazzi has to be walked off the pitch to be treated. He'll be fine though. The momentum has gone out of this match somewhat as half-time approaches.
- 41' Giuseppe Favalli had taken some real punishment in this game, and he doesn't even make it to half-time before limping off to be replaced by Marek Jankulovski.
- 38' Rino Gattuso wins the ball in midfield, and brings it forward. Space opens up for him to SHOOT... The effort is low and wide.
- 35' Milan have a free kick after Maniche crunches Favalli! Play is switched to the other side and Bonera crosses in for INZAGHI... The ball is just too high for him to flick a header on target!
- 33' Anyway, now Pirlo is over a free kick on the left wing. It's curled over to the far post... Easy for Julio Cesar. You wouldn't trust anyone else with a dead ball, but Pirlo has been poor today.
- 30' As we reach the half-hour mark, Inter has been under the cosh for most of this match, but Milan have only had that one chance from Inzaghi that he should have put either side of Julio Cesar. It's such a joy to watch a match of this magnitude. Imagine no Milan in the Champions League, just one year after winning it!
- 28' Inter pile men forward for a free kick out by the touchline. Zanetti will send the ball in, but it's a poor ball and it's cleared easily. Inter are not playing like champions at the moment.
- 24' Maicon goes in over the top of the ball on Favalli, but the ball deflects off the latter's shin and into the box for INZAGHI... The flag is up for offside! Replays show he was offside when it was played. Favalli gets treament off the field, and is back on now.
- 22' Inter break and the ball finds its way to Crespo on the edge of the box. He turns and SHOOTS... Dragged wide of the goal!
- 21' Sudenely this match has exploded into life, and the ball is pinging all around the Inter area! Bonera chases the ball to the byline and fires a ball across... Deflected into the side netting!
- 20' Kaka slips a wonderful ball through and INZAGHI CAN SHOOT... SAVED BY JULIO CESAR!! Chance of the match, and Inzaghi should have scored!
- 19' Seedorf's cross is headed away but only as far as FAVALLI... The full-back blasts off target!
- 17' first booking of the match, and unsurprisingly it goes to Maicon for a foul on Kaka. The free kick is around 40 yards out again. Pirlo curls the ball in towards KALADZE... Maicon gets there first to head behind for a corner!
- 16' Pirlo sends Seedorf off down the right. He tries to dribble into the box but Materazzi holds him. Seedorf gets the ball back and crosses... Nobody on the end of it!
- 13' Kaka rolls the ball back to Seedorf, and the Dutchman is going to try his luck from distance. He STRIKES... The ball swerves off target. First real effort for either side.
- 10' Kaka is dispossessed by Maicon on the wing far and square, but rather than try and win the ball back, the FIFA World Player of the Year just stands there looking indignant! It's been all Milan so far.
- 9' Pirlo floats a long ball up for Inzaghi to chase, but Materazzi stays tstrong to shield the ball until it goes out for a goal kick. The sly intelligence of Pipo Inzaghi against the strength of Materazzi will be a key duel in this one.
- 5' Seedorf tries a neat reverse pass to Izaghi who - surprise, surprise - is in an offside position.
- 2' Rivas fouls Kaka in a central area about 40 yards out. Andrea Pirlo is standing over it with intent... He blazes it over the bar.
- 1' Ciao! Welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Milan derby! Inter will be as good as champions with an 'away' win today, and they can seriously dent their local rival's Champions League qualification hopes to boot! The Nerrazzuri are on the verge of finally winning Serie A on a level playing field, with no Calciopoli fallout to tarnish their championship. The big team news is that Hernan Crespo lines up in the Inter attack against his old club, due to the injury of Ibrahimovic, and there is no Paolo Maldini for perhaps his final derby. The match is underway!
