    • - Thanks for joining us tonight! Plenty more to come on Sunday, so see you then!
    • 90'+5 There it is! All over in Turin and Juve snatch a late, late point!
    • 90'+2 Five minutes of added time to be play, so there's still time!
    • 90'+1 GOAL! JUVE LEVEL AT THE DEATH! GRYGERA HEADS HOME FROM A CORNER TO GIVE JUVE A POINT! Incredible! What a ending to the match! Juve looked dead and buried!
    • 88' Cruz! Oooh! Buffon to the rescue again! It could have been so much worse for Juve, had it not been for the keeper!
    • 87' It's time for old man Figo to leave... and on comes Julio Cruz in his place.
    • 84' Giovinco sends over a corner for Juve, but Claudio Ranieri's side look dispirited at the moment... this defeat is likely to signal the end of their title hopes.
    • 80' Del Piero is replaced by Giovinco, but Inter are looking comfortable now.
    • 79' Oooh! Buffon to Juve's rescue to deny Stankovic a blistering strike from outside the area.
    • 78' Inter make another change... Burdisso for Muntari.
    • 76' Oh dear, that's dirty from Tiago! Balotelli starts taking the mickey with a few stepovers by the near touchline so Tiago simply goes through him. AND HE'S OFF! Straight red for the Portuguese and you really can't argue with that decision!
    • 74' Juve make a change as they chase the game... Marchioni is replaced by Trezeguet.
    • 73' Chiellini attempts a spectacular overhead kick! But he doesn't catch it cleanly and the chance goes begging....
    • 73' What is the definition of a lung-busting run? Answer: The one Muntari's just gone off on! What a burst foward from the Ghanaian!
    • 68' Balotelli certainly seems to be on a mission to grab the headlines tonight... either as match-winner or for altogether more nefarious reasons...
    • 67' But they perk up soon enough as Balotelli appears to kick out at a Juve player... the crowd don't like that one bit and the youngster goes into the book for his troubles.
    • 65' That's silenced the crowd somewhat!
    • 64' GOAL! INTER TAKE THE LEAD! It's Balotelli who finishes off a lightning quick inter break with a simple finish after Muntari's first-time cross finds him alone in the middle!
    • 63' Molinaro departs as De Ceglie is introduced... shame that, Molinaro's had a good game.
    • 58' Del Piero takes it... he tries to catch out Julio Cesar, Fabio Aurelio/Petr Cech-style, but the Inter keeper is wise to it and makes the save.
    • 57' Juve head straight down to the other end and win a free-kick, right on the edge of the Inter box...
    • 56' Ibra rises to meet a Balotelli free-kick to the far post with a header that forces Buffon into action! But the veteran makes the save look easy...
    • 53' Poulsen is booked for a clumsy challenge on Muntari...
    • 52' Zanetti bursts forward in typical fashion now... but his storming run is not matched by a weak shot.
    • 50' Stankovic lets fly from distance and Buffon is forced into making a save, low down to his left by the post!
    • 47' Interesting to see Balotelli emerging late for the second half... all 21 other players were waiting for the youngster to turn up, and he just strolled out onto the pitch without a care in the world. Arrogant? Moi?
    • 46' Here we go again! Second half underway at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin!
    • 45'+3 There goes the half-time whistle and it's goalless at the break!
    • 45' Nedved disagrees with the linesman's decision and has a go at him... and it's nice to see the lino giving some back! You never get that in the Premier League - they just have to stand there and take any abuse given to them! Well done linesman!
    • 44' Brilliant defending from Zanetti to deny Molinaro a run to the by-line... the Argentine used all his experience there to slam shut the door....
    • 43' Del Piero whips it in! But Julio Cesar is there to beat the ball clear with his fists....
    • 42' Molinaro and Zanetti clash now... and the decision goes the Juve defender's way... free-kick, which Del Piero will take...
    • 37' Figo nearly waltzes all the way through the Juve defence! Great run from the veteran, but in the end he's foiled by Buffon, who saves at his feet!
    • 36' Legrottaglie goes into the book for a clumsy challenge from behind on Ibra... no need for that at all. The foul, not the card.
    • 35' Balotelli then makes a hash of a few Ronaldo-style step-overs... he falls to the ground and the ball runs out of play.
    • 34' Stankovic! The Serb fires over the bar after having been teed up by Balotelli on the right.
    • 33' Off goes a firecracker in the stands... but as is custom in Italy, hardly anyone notices...
    • 32' Marchioni's through on goal here! But his touch is a bit heavy, allowing Julio Cesar to come off his line and make a crucial save!
    • 31' Oooh! Del Piero finds Grygera at the back stick from the resulting free-kick but the full-back makes a real hash of his effort on goal and balloons it over the bar!
    • 30' Tiago hares clear down the Juve right... Muntari can't keep up with him and clips his heels to bring the Portuguese to the ground...
    • 29' Again it goes short, but there's nothing doing for Juve this time and Inter are able to clear.
    • 28' The corner goes short before being launched into the box... and it's put behind for another corner, from the other side...
    • 27' Iaquinta races on to a Nedved through ball but his shot is deflected behind for a corner!
    • 24' Poulsen is slightly late on Cambiasso as another Inter attack is broken down...
    • 21' Lovely footwork from Del Piero, but his clipped ball into the box is easily taken by Julio Cesar.
    • 19' Zanetti and Stankovic combine nicely on the Inter right... but the latter's cross is easily dealt with by the Juve defence.
    • 15' Ibrahimovic nearly gets on the end of an Inter corner now... but the ball is just too high for him and it sails away to safety.
    • 11' That could so easily have been the opener... Balotelli could well come to rue that miss...
    • 10' BALOTELLI! What a chance! The youngster cuts inside before letting fly on goal! Buffon gets enough on it to slow its progress down, but it's still heading in... until Tiago gets back to sweep the ball off the line!
    • 8' Juve have started really well... but here comes Ibrahimovic on the Inter left... he skips past Grygera before sending over a dangerous cross that is put behind for an Inter corner!
    • 7' The crowd are incensed now about Stankovic hams up a knee to the face (if that's at all possible) from Nedved! Play is called back just as Juve were breaking downfield...
    • 5' Marchioni attempts a difficult volley from the edge of the area... it's well over, but a brave effort nonetheless...
    • 4' And now Muntari goes in hard on Del Piero! The home crowd don't like that one! But it's all adding to a cracking atmosphere!
    • 3' Figo goes into the book early on for a sliding challenge on Molinaro!
    • 1' Nedved signals Juve's intent early on with a speculative effort on goal! Well over Julio Cesar's bar though...
    • 1' Here we go! Underway at the Stadio Olimpico!
    • - Serie A leaders Internazionale travel to Turin to meet Juventus in the late kick-off.
