    • Internazionale
    • 90'+2 There it is! All over in Turin and Inter go back to the top of the table with a 3-1 win over Torino!
    • 88' Ibrahimovic is taken off... job done as far as he is concerned.
    • 86' Ooooh! Two chances in quick succession for Toro! First Amoruso strikes the bar with a brilliant header before Bianchi sees his follow up saved by Julio Cesar!
    • 85' Anoruso strikes it... but it's straight against the Inter wall.
    • 84' Chance now for Toro to get another one back... Burdisso gives away the foul and there could be danger here.
    • 80' Oooh! Bianchi does really well to get his head on a cross! Julio Cesar gets down low to his right to tip round the corner!
    • 76' GOAL! There it is! Toro finally get on the scoresheet and it's Abbruscato who slides in on Saumel's well delivered cross into the box to finish past Julio Cesar!!
    • 75' Free kick now to Toro... it's hit goalwards by Saumel but Julio Cesar is equal to it and gets down well to make the save.
    • 73' Balotelli goes into the book for a tug on Pratelli...
    • 72' Ooh! The hosts very nearly find a way through as Bianchi looks to play in Abbruscato! Chivu's there to mop up the danger!
    • 70' Ogbonna lets fly with a decent looking drive from distance! Julio Cesar is right behind in though and a consolation goal for Toro remains elusive.
    • 68' That's all for Adriano today... Mourinho takes off the big man and sends on youngster Mario Balotelli.
    • 65' Toro make a third change... Ogbonna comes on to replace Zanetti.
    • 64' Mancini departs and Quaresma comes on as Inter make their first change of the day.
    • 62' Lovely skills from Adriano! He tracks back and wins the ball before showing off with a needless back heel! Well, at 3-0 up, why not?
    • 61' Credit to Toro, they're not lying down and taking this... it's the hosts who are on the front foot at the moment. That said, Inter are breaking with real incisiveness.
    • 55' Adriano forces Sereni into action with a toe punt from the edge of the box... Ronaldinho scored like that not so long ago! Not this time for his compatriot though.
    • 52' That should be that for Inter now... they're not going to lose a three goal lead.
    • 51' GOAL! Straight down to the other end and Ibrahimovic puts Inter three up! What a lightning quick break from the champions! Maicon starts it off and Ibra finishes with the outside of his boot to make it 3-0!
    • 51' Oooh! Whipped in by Diana! The ball comes off Cambiasso and grazes the post!
    • 49' Here come Toro... Zanetti lets fly with a speculative effort from 25 yards... there's loud shouts for hand ball as Materazzi gets in the way but the ref's having none of it.
    • 47' Di Loreto is now wearing the captain's armband... Corini having taken it from Rosina.
    • 46' One change to tell you about at the break... Barone has come into Toro's midfield at the expense of Corini.
    • 46' Back underway at the Stadio Olimpico!
    • 45'+1 There goes the half time whistle and Inter head into the dressing rooms with a comfortable two goal lead!
    • 44' Great turn from Ibra... but the Swede's pulled up for a foul on Pratali...
    • 43' Amoruso dances this way and that at the by-line... but Cambiasso gets back to win a goal kick!
    • 41' Chance for Amoruso as the ball is played in by Saumel! But the flag is up for offside and even if his he had made a decent connection with his header, it wouldn't have counted.
    • 40' Diana and Mancini tussle for a ball by the corner flag... and the Toro man claims an elbow was used... as does Mancini! It all calms down soon enough and play continues.
    • 38' Inter look comfortable at the moment... they're playing the ball around nicely as Ibra draws a foul from Di Loreto.
    • 35' Corini clips a ball over the Inter defence looking for the run of Bianchi! But it's too long for the striker and the ball runs out of play.
    • 31' Mancini hares onto a pass through... but Pisano does really well to come across and make a saving challenge!
    • 29' Oh dear, this isn't good news for Toro... Rosina can't continue... he trudges towards the bench and is replaced by Abbruscato.
    • 28' Pisano goes into the book for a challenge on Maicon...
    • 26' GOAL! Maicon unleashes a thunderbolt into the top left hand corner to put Inter two ahead in as many minutes! What a strike from the Brazilian! It would still br rising now if it hadn't been for the net! Stunning!
    • 24' GOAL! Mancini has his dancing feet on - and that's because he's just put Inter ahead! The Brazilian gets to the by-line and fires a cross in that takes a hefty deflection of Pisano! 1-0 Inter!
    • 22' Torino's Rosina is struggling and looks like he might have to come off. Meanwhile, Inter go close after a defensive hiccup following a floating cross, but Torino manage to scramble it away at the far post.
    • 18' Adriano is pulled back by Zanetti... and the Toro midfielder goes into the book for it.
    • 17' That's a late challenge from Amoruso on Vieira... but the referee's cards stay in his pocket, despite Ibrahimovic sticking his two penneth in...
    • 15' Bianchi looks to get on the end of a Saumel through pass... he's not going to reach that one though...
    • 13' Oooh! Bianchi goes close at the other end! The former Manchester City man rises well to meet Pisano's cross with a firm header, which goes just the wrong side of the post!
    • 11' Chance for Inter! Chivu plays in a dangerous cross.... Pratali heads clear but only as far as Ibra! But the Swede's first time shot lacks power and Sereni is able to claim!
    • 10' Inter are playing the ball around nicely here... just asserting their authority on the game...
    • 9' Oooh! Super play from Rosina! The Toro captain cuts inside and lets fly with his left foot! Over the bar this time, but Toro have started well!
    • 7' It opens up in front of Amoruso as the Inter defence back off... and he lets fly! Wide of the mark!
    • 5 Inter break now with Vieira... into the box! Good challenge from Di Loreto to stop the attack.
    • 3' Materazzi humps a long ball forward now and draws whistles of derision from the home crowd.
    • 2' Straight from the kick-off, Bianchi looks to get on the end of a long ball forward... Maicon sees it out of play.
    • 1' Underway at the Stadio Olimpico!
