    Time:90'
    • Internazionale
    • Torino
    • 90+4' All over at the Giuseppe Meazza and it's a vital point for struggling Torino!
    • 90+2' Ibrahimovic glances a header past Sereni... OFF THE POST... CAMBIASSO FOLLOWS UP... SAVED BY SERENI!!! The referee blows for a foul on the keeper and surely that's Inter's last chance.
    • 90' Figo brings the ball forward and slips it to QUARESMA IN LOADS OF SPACE... He shanks his shot high and over the bar - What a waste!
    • 89' Luis Figo's free-kick from the wing is cleared and Torino break out. Rosina has a rare bad first touch allowing Maicon to stick a boot in and clear the ball. A thrilling finale!
    • 87' Inter have a further three corners but can't work an effort on goal from any of them. Time is running out for the champions.
    • 85' Inter are laying siege to the Torino goal. Another corner is headed by Crespo at the near post and Sereni gets down well to save yet again!
    • 84' Inter come forward in numbers again and quaresma has options but goes for the shot... A tame effort easily caught by Sereni.
    • 83' Ibrahimovic tries to knock the ball over Sereni's head but it's cleared off the line! The loose ball falls to CAMBIASSO.. His strike hits the boot of CRESPO... Looped over the bar! Torino really rode their luck there!
    • 77' Inter are starting to peg Torino back in their own half now, and Zlatan and Quaresma are drawing fouls all over the place. One fould on the former gives Figo a shooting chance from a free-kick... Deflected off the wall and out for a corner.
    • 73' Quaresma cuts into the box on the left, feints the shot and passes to IBRAHIMOVIC... Fired wide!
    • 70' Julio Cruz will be replaced by Hernan Crespo as Inter continue to press for the winner. If things stay as they are, then Milan can close the gap to six points with a game in hand if they win at Lazio this evening.
    • 70' Inter break forward and MAICON WILL STRIKE... Wide of the far post! This game has exploded into life now.
    • 69' Abate squares a ball across for STELLONE... The first-time shot took everyone by surprise, but it flew wide of the top corner!
    • 68' Stankovic helps a cross along to QUARESMA IN SPACE... The Portuguese went for the scissor-kick volley but the ball ends up in the crowd.
    • 65' Colombo tackles Figo, gives the ball to Rosina and then follows his break on the overlap. He is fed the ball down the channel and will cross first time, but Santon gets something on the ball and it loops harmlessly to Julio Cesar.
    • 62' Quaresma goes down far too easily under Colombo's challenge, and Inter have a free-kikc on the left. Figo curls it towards the far post, but Sereni punches clear.
    • 59' GOOOOOOOOOL! Never mind that - Inter are level! They have dangerous at corner kicks, and this time one pays off as Nicola Burdisso gets to the ball before Sereni can punch it and heads into the unguarded net!
    • 58' An inter cross doesn't find another blue and black shirt, but it does kick up and hit Colombo's arm - NO PENALTY! Inter's players are furious! It was ball to hand, but they've been given before.
    • 56' The duel between Dellafiore has been key in this match, and the defender puts his body on the line to stop Ibrahimovic and lands awkwardly. He receives treamtent and should be OK to continue.
    • 55' Since the goal it's been all Inter, but this time their corner kick is cleared. A second ball is fired back in for Ibrahimovic, who is penalised for obstructing as he shielded the ball. He didn't do much wrong there to be honest.
    • 52' Another corner for inter, and this time it's curled towards CORDOBA... Another tremendous save by Sereni! The Colombian defender did everything right, sending his header downwards, but the keeper did brilliantly to get two hands on the ball and parry!
    • 47' GOOOOOOOOL!! Inter are caught napping and Bianchi puts Torino in front! Abate's cross found the striker unmarked, but he still had a lot to do as he steered a header past Julio Cesar while stepping backwards to meet the ball - An outstanding header!
    • 46' The second half is underway. Can Inter step it up a gear?
    • HT Jose Mourinho will bring on Ricardo Quaresma for the second half as he tries to unlock a stubborn Torino defence. Luis Figo came on in the last few minutes of the first hal after Stankovic went off injured.
    • 45+2' Referee Bergonzi blows for half-time at the San Siro. Struggling Torino have done well to contain inter thus far, but have not come close to scoring themselves.
    • 45+1' Torino have another corner to defend. Maicon takes it and it's headed right back to him, and this time the ball is for CRUZ AT THE NEAR POST... The header is well wide of the target.
    • 45' Ibrahimovic is on to Stankovic's chip forward and he's away! Dellafiore does brilliantly to force him wide and dispossess him though. It's been a frustrating first half for Ibra.
    • 41' Torino appear to have weathered the Inter storm, and are now seeing more of the ball again. They are struggling to create anything though - Rosina is dropping too deep and Bianchi is isolated.
    • 38' Stankovic makes a pass and then hits the deck after the slightest of touches from Ogbonna. The defender is given a yellow card - He looks dumbfounded!
    • 35' Inter have another corner and the cross is met by a CRUZ HEADER... Tipped around the post by Sereni! The Torino keeper was at full stretch there - Cruz thought he had scored! It took over half an hour, but finally we've had a save, and what a save it was!
    • 30' Dzemaili goes diving in on Maxwell in midfield, and catches him on the shin to send him tumbling over. The Swiss is lucky not to pick up at least a booking there.
    • 27' Rosina's cross hits Maicon on the arm on the edge of the box, but the referee doesn't pay attention to the appeals.
    • 25' A good open spell here, with play going from end to end. Neither keeper has been called upon to make a save yet though.
    • 22' Inter's thrid corner is cleared and Torino can break! Abate makes up 40 yards with the ball at his feet, but is caught in two minds over who to pass to and Stankovic tracks back to snuff out the attack.
    • 20' Inter beginning to turn the screw on Torino now, and Ibrahimovic wins a corner. The first is turned behind and the second is punched away to STANKOVIC... Rosina comes steaming across the block the shot just as Stankovic pulled the trigger!
    • 18' Julio Cruz goes into the book for a blatant handball as he tries to control a long ball.
    • 17' Cruz has time and space to go for goal from outsisde the box, but his shot is swiped across the face of goal and out.
    • 14' Rosina out-strips Maicon for pace and crosses for BIANCHI... Ivan Cordoba gets to the ball first and heads behind for a corner.
    • 12' Torino wwin their first corner, but Inter manage to scramble it away at third or fourth attempt. No clear-cut chances for either side as yet.
    • 7' Zlatan is standing over a free-kick. It's about 35 yards from goal, but that won't stop him having a pop... Way over the bar and into the crowd.
    • 5' Torino main man Rosina tries shows great vision to pick out a pass for Bianchi, but the former City man isn't quite on the same wavelength.
    • 3' Stankovic tries to find Ibrahimovic with a stabbed through-ball, but the Swede is well marked by Dellafiore.
    • 1' After the 15 minute delay in protest against WADA, Torino kick off to get this match underway!
