    Time:90'
    • Internazionale
    • Roma
    • 90+4' It ends three apiece, and what a wonderful game! As it happens the result doesn't really suit anybody, but we have seen some tremendous entertainment here!
    • 90+3' Mexes shoots from distance.. it's low and makes for an easy save for Julio Cesar.
    • 90+2' De Rossi finds Menez on the left, who beats his man, cuts inside and SHOOTS!!! Blocked!! What a finish!
    • 90+1' Three minutes of stoppage time to be played. What a very un-Mourinho performance from Inter...
    • 90' WHAT A CHANCE DE ROSSI!!! Does brilliantly to control the ball on the left side of the box but drags his left-foot shot miles off target!
    • 90' Corner Roma from the right side... Mexes volleys it high into the sky and Inter eventually fumble it clear unconvincingly.
    • 89' Vieira steps out of two challenges and plays a through ball to Adriano... just too much power on it.
    • 88' This great game deserves a winning goal, and there are still two minutes plus stoppage time...
    • 86' RIISE!!! Smashes the free-kick and Julio Cesar does really well to tip it over!
    • 86' Five minutes to go, and Roma win a free-kick just outside the are as Cordoba fouls Menez! Great chance this, with Riise over it..
    • 84' Yellow card Vieira for a marginally late challenge on his countryman Menez, who stays down and tries to run down the clock.
    • 83' Poor old Roma boss Luciano Spalletti... he looks crushed - and it might be about to get worse for him.
    • 82' Crespo again! He heads over from a much more difficult chance this time - Inter are going for the kill.
    • 80' Here come Inter again, roared on by their fans! What a game this is...
    • 79' GOOOOOOLLL!!! INTER ARE LEVEL!!! Crespo nods home an emphatic header from an inswinging left-wing cross by Figo! An instant impact from the sub!
    • 78' Final roll of the dice from Mourinho - Hernan Crespo is on for Dejan Stankovic.
    • 76' Off comes Vucinic, and Roma bring on young Frenchman Jeremy Menez.
    • 74' Roma can break here four on four, but they seem reluctant to come forward with pace and Baptista gives the ball away.
    • 73' Dangerous low delivery from Pizarro, but Inter manage to intercept - Vieira was doing a bit of sly shirt-pulling on De Rossi that went unnoticed.
    • 72' Vieira brings down Baptista close to the left corner flag... Pizarro will whip it in.
    • 70' Adriano! Glances a difficult headed chance wide! Roma are all over the place at the moment.
    • 68' Stankovic and De Rossi have been fighting a running battle all game, and referee Rizzoli book them both for being naughty boys.
    • 67' Balotelli attempts a spectacular overhead kick, but fires it over and gives away a free-kick for a high foot anyway!
    • 65' Massive chance for Vucinic as he beats the offside trap and heads goalwards... straight at Julio Cesar!
    • 63' GOOOL!! Balotelli takes the penalty himself... and coolly sends Doni the wrong way! What a game this is becoming! Roma are pegged back to 3-2.
    • 62' PENALTY INTER!!! It's all happening! A foul by De Rossi on Balotelli, and that looks very soft indeed!
    • 61' Inter work the ball methodically towards the Roma box. Figo attempts to find the overlapping Maicon but it is cut out and the crowd react with untempered disgust.
    • 59' Figo attempts to cross from the left but Mexes heads away. Figo is still a fine player despite having all the pace of a latter-day Mickey Quinn.
    • 57' GOOOOOLLLL!!! ROMA AGAIN!! Baptista spins Cambiasso brilliantly and lays a superb ball through for Brighi, who finishes powerfully into the bottom-left corner.
    • 55' Figo wastes a free-kick, but Inter are in the ascendancy here.
    • 52' Mourinho's attacking changes pay an instant dividend - they still have plenty of time to score another or even win this game.
    • 50' GOOOOOLLL!!! Inter are back in it thanks to Mario Balotelli! He collects Adriano's pass on the left side of the box and finishes inside the near post! Great goal.
    • 48' Mourinho is certainly a decisive manager and he doesn't mess around with any 'wait and see' business. His side need goals, and he intends to get them.
    • 46' Second half under way - two changes for Inter; Vieira and Figo for Maxwell and Burdisso.
    • 45+2' That's half-time, and the Serie A leaders have some work to do.
    • 45+1' Blatant handball by David Pizarro as he intercepts a clearance - yellow card.
    • 45' Glancing header from Adriano - just wide. At least he's involved - Mario Balotelli has hardly had a touch.
    • 43' Mourinho has Ibrahimovic available on the bench, but he will be loath to risk his star man's bad back. Inter certainly need some inspiration, however...
    • 40' Zanetti has a pot at goal on his left foot from long range... just wide.
    • 39' Maicon reacts with disbelief as he is penalised for an infingement on Brighi - well, he might have made the most of it but it was certainly a foul.
    • 37' Here come Roma again as De Rossi finds Pizarro down the right and he pulls the ball back... Inter clear.
    • 35' The advertising hoardings tout the wares of something called 'Jonk 46' - is it the clothing line of Dutch legend Wim Jonk? We may never know?
    • 33' So close Mirko Vucinic!! He collects a ball inside from the right, nicks the ball past his man, prods it past Julio Cesar but sends it... just wide!
    • 31' Jose Mourinho is wearing a wry little grin - although it isn't clear why. He team are getting schooled by Roma.
    • 29' GOOOOOOOOOOLLLLL!!!! TWO FOR ROMA!!! John Arne Riise! He controls a diagonal ball with his head and forces the ball past Julio Cesar from a tight angle on the left! Brilliant stuff.
    • 27' A really open game here. Although not as open as the one that has just finished in Madrid - Atletico 4, Barcelona 3. Real Madrid are now just four points off the top of La Liga!
    • 24' There is some shirt-tugging on Adriano in the Roma box, but the referee either doesn't see it or ignores it.
    • 23' GOOOOOLLLL!!! Daniele De Rossi heads Roma in front! A tremendous glancing effort from Motta's inswinging right-wing cross! The stand-in captain has done it!
    • 20' Adriano! Tries an inventive back header but Doni dives low to his right to save it.
    • 19' Inter corner that finds Cambiasso at the far post. He heads goalwards from a tight angle and Doni blocks it!
    • 16' De Rossi fires a low shot from the free-kick that bobbles to Julio Cesar diving to his right.
    • 15' Clumsy hack on Vucinic by Javier Zanetti who, of course, pleads complete innocence. A good shooting chance this for Roma.
    • 14' Lovely move down the Inter left as Maxwell and Santon exchange passes - then Maxwell puts his shot just wide!
    • 13' Have you noticed that Jose Mourinho is never happier than when leaning nonchalantly against a wall, preferably while wearing a scarf. As such, he's presently as happy as a pig in muck.
    • 11' Neither of these sides were very impressive in midweek Champions League action - thankfully they are putting on a more entertaining spectacle tonight.
    • 9' Stankovic goes down after a tangle of legs in the Roma box, but Signor Rizzoli says play on. Probably the right decision.
    • 7' Brighi shoots wide! Vucinic's cross is headed down to the midfielder but his volley flashes a yard wide of the right-band post. Roma are all over Inter here!
    • 5' Zanetti tests Doni with a long range effort straight at the Brazilian.
    • 4' Baptista again! He shoots low from the edge of the box but without much power and Julio Cesar saves easily.
    • 3' Sadly, Francesco Totti (knee) and Zlatan Ibrahimovic (back) have both failed late fitness tests and neither plays tonight.
    • 2' Bit of a dive from Baptista but he wins a free-kick justb outside the Inter box. He STRIKES IT!! Julio Cesar tips over and this is a great start for the visitors!
    • 1' Game on! Roma kick off in their all-white away strip. Inter, as usual, are in blue and black.
