    • Internazionale
    • Lazio
    • - Thanks for joining us tonight... plenty more to come on Sunday, so be sure to come back then!
    • 90'+2 And there goes the final whistle! Inter go 10 POINTS clear of Milan, who play Catania on Sunday!
    • 90' It's all getting a bit scrappy out there at the moment... now Chivu is booked for a late challenge on Brocchi...
    • 88' Ledesma is the next to go into the book for an ugly challenge on Vieira...
    • 85' Ibra and Matuzalem have a bit of a tete-a-tete! Ibra actually sticks his forehead on the Brazilian's head... but the ref opts just to book the goalscorer!
    • 84' Lazio take off Zarate now... and the young Argentine gets a decent reception from the home crowd...
    • 76' Ibra brings a save out of Muslera with a snap shot from distance! It's not a bad hit, and an equally decent save from the Lazio keeper!
    • 75' Mourinho is ready to sit on this lead now as he brings on Burdisso for Muntari...
    • 71' Of course, the aforementioned 13-point advantage is in reality a soon-to-be 10-point advantage... apologies for any confusion that comment caused... either way, Inter are well on their way to winning a fourth straight Scudetto...
    • 70' GOOOOOL! MUNTARI MAKES IT TWO! The Ghanaian runs onto Ibra's defence-splitting pass to finish past Muslera and send Inter on their way!
    • 69' Lazio aren't giving up just yet! Foggia feeds Rocchi, but the Biancocelesti captain fires wide!
    • 64' Rocchi nearly get his bald pate to a Foggia cross, but it's inches over his head and the chance goes begging!
    • 62' Del Nero is replaced by Pasquale Foggia as Lazio look for some inspiration...
    • 58' GOOOOOOOOOL! IBRAHIMOVIC BREAKS THE DEADLOCK! It's classic Ibra, the Swede cutting inside and unleashing a rocket past Muslera and into the back of the net! 1-0 Inter and they're on their way to opening up a 10 point advantage!
    • 56' Here comes Crespo, for Mancini, while Santon is replaced by Vieira...
    • 56' Muslera punches clear under a hefty challenge from Chivu! Free-kick to Lazio anyway...
    • 55' Cambiasso is lurking at the back stick as Ibra's cross comes in... knocked behind for a corner!
    • 54' Hernan Crespo is ready to come on to give Inter's attack a little bit of impetus...
    • 53' Rocchi lets fly from the edge of the Inter box! Just wide...
    • 49' Zarate again making a nuisance of himself... but nothing comes of his fleet-footedness...
    • 46' Back underway in Milan! No changes to tell you about...
    • 46' There goes the half-time whistle and it's nicely poised at 0-0 at the break!
    • 44' Yellow for Del Neri for tripping Figo after the Portuguese outwitted him on the Inter right...
    • 40' Ibra rises with Muslera to meet a Mancini cross! But the Lazio keeper out jumps the Swede to punch to safety...
    • 39' Zarate looks sharp tonight! He comes inside Zanetti and fires goalwards! It's wide this time, but he looks most likely of all Lazio players to do something...
    • 37' Ooooh! Brocchi unleashes a stinging effort from 25 yards out that Julio Cesar is forced into tipping over for a corner!
    • 36' Del Nero now robs Inter of the ball... he crosses, but Julio Cesar is there to claim!
    • 35' Rocchi fires in a free-kick from near the touchline... but Zarate can't get on the end of it and the chance goes begging.
    • 33' Nice by Figo, but his little dink forward looking for the run of Zanetti runs all the way through to Muslera.
    • 31' Ibra now chips in a cross to the near post... MUNTARI! Oooh! The Ghanaian heads wide of the mark, when he perhaps should have done better!
    • 28' Mourinho is losing the plot on the sidelines! He's not happy with the ref and lets his feelings be known!
    • 27' Matuzalem fires low and hard, but wide, from the resulting free-kick!
    • 26' Great stuff from Zarate as he skips past Muntari! But Samuel isn't going to let the youngster past and he sticks out a leg and trips him up! Yellow for the Inter man, deservedly so!
    • 25' Rocchi stretches to get on the end of a long ball forward... but he can't quite reach it... flag's up anyway...
    • 23' Ibrahimovic! Ooh! Figo lashes a cross into the box and Ibra glances a header just wide of the far post!
    • 21' It goes short... Zarate teases Mancini before delivering a ball in towards Matuzalem, but the Brazilian fouls as he rises to meet it and Inter have a free-kick.
    • 20' Zarate looks to jig his way into the Inter box... he gets past Chivu and then Cambiasso, but not Cordoba! Corner to Lazio though!
    • 17' Samuel meets it with a towering header back across the face of goal... Mancini quite can't get there! But he was in an offside position - again - so it wouldn't have counted anyway.
    • 16' Kolorov fouls Santon on the right hand side and Figo will have another chance to put in a cross...
    • 13' Mancini clips in a cross from the by-line... he appeals for a penalty after it hits Radu, but the ref isn't convinced and Inter will have to make do with a corner...
    • 11' Figo and Radu clash now... and the Lazio man walks away with a hole in his sock made by Figo's studs!
    • 10' The corner reaches Mancini at the far post from Cordoba's header! But the Brazilian is offside and the ref blows up.
    • 9' Santon clips in a cross at the other end... Figo flicks on, but there's no one at the back stick to put it in! Nevertheless Siviglia puts behind for a corner!
    • 8' Rocchi! The Lazio skipper lets fly with a snap shot from the edge of the Inter box, but it's straight at Julio Cesar and the chance goes begging....
    • 7' Kolorov sends in a cross towards Rocchi... Cordoba gets in a bit of a tangle but the ball deflects fortuitously off him and back to Julio Cesar!
    • 5' But the Inter keeper claims the corner kick without any problems and Inter can build again...
    • 4' Julio Cesar is forced into pawing the ball behind for a Lazio corner from a deep free-kick...
    • 3' Ooh! Lovely ball in by Figo... Muslera doesn't know how to deal with it, as Ibra sniffs around hoping for a chance... in the end, the ball runs all the way through!
    • 2' Inter straight away on the attack... Ibrahimovic wins a corner before Mancini fires wide of the mark!
    • 2' Inter in their traditional nerazzurri colours, while Lazio sport their classic sky blue shirts and white shorts, aka biancocelesti...
    • 1' Here we go then! Underway in Milan!
    • - On-loan striker Mauro Zarate will lead the line for Lazio after having agreeing to a permanent move from Qatar's Al Sadd.
    • - Inter will be without suspended Mario Balotelli and Dejan Stankovic but midfielders Sulley Muntari and Luis Jimenez are fit after knocks.
    • - Inter hold a seven-point lead over second-placed Milan with five games left heading into tonight's clash with Lazio at the Giuseppe Meazza.
