    Time:90'
    • Internazionale
    • Lecce
    • 90'+4 There's the final whistle. Inter are deserved winners but they left it late considering how much possession they had. Thanks for following the action with us. Do join us again. Goodnight!
    • 90' 4 minutes of added time to be played. Inter are happy to pass it around and run the clock down.
    • 85' Inter are doing their best to undo all their hard work and deserved lead at the moment. Castillo is twice allowed in but is thwarted by some desperate defending.
    • 83' Ibrahimovic makes an audacious attempt from a ridiculous distance trying to catch the keeper off guard. Benussi recovers though and punches a fierce strike clear. Mancini then finds himself in space on the right side of the box but chooses the wrong option of passing rather than shooting.
    • 79' GOALLL!!!!! At last. Inter must have wondered whether it was going to come but substitute fires in on the half-volley from 18 yards following a knock-down by Ibrahimovic. 1-0 to Inter!!!
    • 75' Lecce make their final change. Caserta is on for the lone front-man Cacia.
    • 73' Cruz, who has only been on 2 minutes as a replacement for Chivu, has his first shot but goes harmlessly wide.
    • 70' Mancini goes on a mazy run towards goal but his shot lacks the power to trouble Benussi.
    • 69' Great cross from Castillo on the right but Cacia can't quite get on the end of it who claims his run was blocked as he goes down in theatrical style.
    • 63' Ibrahimovic fails to control a tricky ball over his shoulder. Had he done, he would have had a great chance to put Inter ahead.
    • 61' Fantastic double stop by the Lecce keeper to deny first Adriano, then Ibrahimovic.
    • 58' Quaresma makes more of an impact. This time receiving a caution though.
    • 55' Quaresma makes an impact dwon the right but his curling cross with the outside of the boot but Zlatan's flick-on takes it away from Adriano who had the goal at his mercy.
    • 53' Lecce make another change. Tiribocchi is subbed for Castillo.
    • 50' Angelo for Lecce is stretchered off with what looks like a shoulder injury and Diamoutene takes his place.
    • 48' Mourinho makes two changes at the break. Maicon is on for Viera who picked up a slight know to the head in the first-half and Quaresma replaces Stankovic.
    • 47' Adriano collects a clever Mancini pass inside the box but good defending prevents him from turning and getting a shot away.
    • 46' Lecce kick-off the second-half.
    • 45' Adriano has another heading chance but it's well defended and made difficult enough for him. There's the half-time whistle and a chorus of boos resonates around the San Siro.
    • 41' Zanetti is still threatening down the right flank and wins a corner...but it's another poor one.
    • 38' 'Ibra' as they like to call him in Italy has another free-kick but this time deflects off Adriano for a goal-kick.
    • 34' More pressure and another corner from Inter but Cordoba shoots wastefully over the bar. Inter have taken a 1-0 lead over Genoa so would replace Inter at the top if these scores remain the same. I wonder if Mourihno will be aware of that for his half-time team talk.
    • 31' This game is hotting up now. Julio Cesar in goal makes a spectacular save to keep out Zanchetta's blistering left-footed half-volley.
    • 29' Adriano has a great chance to put Inter ahead but he heads over from 7 yards off Zanetti's corner.
    • 26' Incredible free-kick from Ibrahimovic. He must have been all of 40 yards out and it thunders back off the crossbar. What a player!!
    • 24' The Milan crowd show their displeasure at Inter over playing the passing from side to side with no forward movement.
    • 20' Somehow Lecce come the closest to scoring. Zanchetta swings in a free-kick and it's just glanced wide off the head of Cacia. That was close!!
    • 17' Inter captain Zanetti thinks he wins a corner and can't believe it when a goal-kick is awarded.
    • 13' Still no clear shots on goal but Lecce are falling deeper and deeper and allowing Inter all the possession.
    • 9' Ibrahimovic is looking sharp and creates space for himself before Lecce clear his pass across the box as he looks for Mancini.
    • 6' Inter are controlling play but some occasional wayward passing in midfield is holding up their momentum in attack.
    • 3' Cambiasso of Inter earns an early free-kick. There's lots of hustle and bustle in the box as it's played in and Inter are penalised.
    • 1' Inter kick-off in their usual strip of black and blue stripes playing right to left at the San Siro.
