Live Commentary
Time:90'- Bologna
- Internazionale
90' FULL-TIME: Inter consolidate their lead at the top of Serie A, but they had to work very hard for their win. Bologna played extremely well in the second half and if they can produce that sort of form against other sides - they should be OK.
87' Di Vaio goes close with a header from five yards. But a great save from Julio Cesar keeps Inter in front.
81' GOAL - Patrick Vieria's first job is to put a left-wing free-kick onto the head of Mario Balotelli. What a comeback from his suspension!- 79' GOAL - Miguel Angel Britos heads in superbly from Valiani's corner. Cambiasso sticks out a leg but it creeps inside the far post.
77' Patrick Viera comes on for Adriano to firm things up in the midfield.
Meanwhile for Bologna - Bombardini makes way for Amoroso.- 76' Bologna have really come back into this game. Inter are pinned in their own box at the moment defending crosses from the right.
- 75' A 20-yard piledriver from Volpi takes a wicked deflection but loops just over the Inter bar.
74' Cordoba is stretchered off....but comes back on after a few seconds.- 73' A sickening clash of heads between Inter's Cordoba and Bologna's Marazzina.
- 71' Bombardini and Zanetti are all cuddles and grins after nearly undressing one another in a tussle on the halfway line. Smiles all round....even from the ref.
- 70' This time the Bologna keeper opts to punch Adriano's free-kick into orbit before following it up with a good catch.
- 67' An Inter free-kick from nearly 30 yards out is hammered through a pathetic Bologna wall into the bread basket of Francesco Antonioli.
- 66' More good work from Di Vaio as he fights off two Inter defenders to rifle a left-foot shot across goal. The Italian national side is hardly bursting with attacking talent at the moment. This guy must fancy his chances.
- 65' Bologna sub: Valiani makes way on the right wing for Massimo Marazzina.
- 64' Inter take no chances after a cross from Bombardini on Bologna's left. Maicon hammers the ball into the far reaches of the stand.
- 63' Bologna have finally woken up. The game is already more stretched. There's a few more goals in this match yet.
60' Many Italian supporters are wearing T-shirts in the Italian sun. But Zanetti persists with the woolly gloves nonetheless.- 59' Having seen the replay there is a definite hint of handball from Adriano's 'header'......AGAIN!
- 55' GOAL - Douglas Maicon's corner from the right is met by Adriano who heads down into the path of Esteban Cambiasso. The Argentinian has time to take a touch and slams home from close range.
- 53' Apart from Stankovic's introduction at half-time, the only other change comes in the form of Adriano's footwear. His new yellow boots seem to be working....neat footwork down the right and a good cross nearly puts in Zanetti.
- 50' .....But the big Swede makes up for it 30 seconds later by applauding his good tackle on Volpi.
- 49' Ibrahimovic throws his toys out of the pram as Cambiasso fails to spot his diagonal run from the left.
- 47' Zanetti is dispossessed and Bologna immediately show more purpose than before half-time. Volpi aims straight for Di Vaio, but his direct pass is cut-out by Walter Samuel.
- 47' A beautiful piece of control from the Bologna boss on the side line inspires the biggest cheer of the match so far.
46' SECOND-HALF: Inter kick-off and it's straight back to the keeper for another spell of to-me-to-you.- 46' Stankovic is replacing Muntari for Inter.
- 45' HALF-TIME - Inter have had far more possession but have created very few chances. Marco Di Vaio has had little service from his Bologna team mates yet has carved out two decent chances - proving why Marcello Lippi is considering him for the national side.
44' Ibrahimovic mistimes his run and turns away disgusted with himself.- 43' The whistle is going every 30 seconds at the moment. This time it's a petty trip from Santon on Bologna's Cristian Zenoni.
- 43' Another hard foul on Ibrahimovic. This time from Bombardini. No yellow card.
- 41' Inter begin to calm things down again with two minutes of slow cumbersome passing. They are put under virtually no pressure at all.
- 39' Zenoni nearly scores direct from a corner. The homeside are starting to look a bit more dangerous.
- 38' Great work down the right from Bologna's Zenoni. He puts in a floating cross to Di Vaio but Julio Cesar beats him to it with a brave punch.
- 36' Zlatan Ibrahimovic signals that he is ok and will soldier on.
- 35' Maybe that was a bit unfair. The big Swede is still limping near the touchline. Jose and staff are discussing options.
- 34' A very hard tackle on Ibrahimovic from Zenoni sends the Swede's shin-pad flying into the crowd. After a good 20 seconds he decides it DID hurt......and goes down injured.
- 32' Maxwell puts in a very dangerous cross from the left but Adriano is penalised for a push on Britos.
- 31' Muntari has a choice of Adriano or Ibrahimovic as he storms through the middle - but chooses the wrong option. Adriano fires high and wide.
- 30' The home crowd are silent. Their team are being completely outplayed at the moment.
27' Vangelis Moras spoils a great bit of work in the centre circle from Ibrahimovic by pulling his shirt. I think he was a bit embarrassed after getting nut-megged.- 25' Muntari yet again pushes a defender in the back but escapes a booking! That's three times. No wonder Mihajlovic is going spare on the touch line.
- 23' Muntari is causing all sorts of problems for the home-side. The huge battering-ram of a forward is drawing two defenders away from Ibrahimovic and Adriano.
- 21' This game is being played at a walking pace at times. Bologna are showing very little ambition. With their awful home record and Inter's excellent away form - they are playing it very safe.
- 19' Marco Di Vaio thinks he is clean through but the linesman's flag denies him a shot at goal.
- 17' Mihajlovic, dressed in a feminine scarlet scarf, is arguing with the ref's assistant after a throw-in is given the wrong way.
- 16' First corner of the match for Bologna. Completely wasted by Valiani.
- 15' Great work from Zanetti down the right-flank is wasted as Ibrahimovic fluffs a header from six yards out.
- 12' Bologna have not had any meaningful possession for at least five minutes.
- 10' Sulley Ali Muntari ploughs his way past two defenders into the Bologna box but mistimes his shot which is easily saved.
- 9' A right-foot curling free-kick from Ibrahimovic stings the hands of Antonioli - which he grabs at the second attempt.
- 7' Adriano has started to look like he is getting back to his best in recent weeks. So far he is holding the ball up brilliantly for the on-rushing Inter midfield.
- 5' Vicious shot from Cristian Zenoni, who cut in from the right wing, is well saved by Julio Cesar.
- 3' That's two nasty fouls now by Cabelino Maxwell who is lucky not to get booked for Inter.
- 2' A stinging left-foot drive from Ibrahimovic is saved down low by Antonioli after a nice flick from Adriano.
- 2' It's a slow start with Bologna struggling to get any possession. But they always have the threat of Serie A's top scorer Marco Di Vaio
1' FIRST HALF - Off we go. A sunny afternoon in Bologna kicks off.- - Bologna are hoping the Nerazzurri's minds will be on Tuesday's Champion's League tie against Man Utd.
- - It's a homecoming for Bologna coach Sinisa Mihajlovic who finished his playing career and started his coaching career at the San Siro.
- - Hello and welcome to eurosport.yahoo.com's LIVE coverage of today's Serie A action. Stay here for minute-by-minute updates as Inter take on a Bologna side caught up in a relegation dogfight.

Yeah Inter win
the temp is -9 like juve are under inter
inter are d best .
Inter deserved to win .. Was the best and the imposition of absolute control of the game, but fell back after the first goal as a result of the decline came a draw .. Ally, the Panel was fortunate to register a goal in the last 10 minutes .. Bologna, as well as a great team Mihajlovic ..
milan will not take even a rotten egg this year
they seem to be the unstopables - forza man utd
cos om mouriho el ma7zoz
MOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mourinho will leave you foaming, just swallow your jealousy and give it up for IL SPECIALE!!! ;D
Inter is @#$%
Again Inter score with what is obviously the aid of an arm!
Again it is Adrimano!
Maybe now Mourinho can stop all the ranting on Italian tv about referees not giving decisions for him.
All that I can say is that at least Man Utd will give them a lesson in the CL.
Interisti pezzi di merda. Mi fate pena!walter samuel playing?
