Live Commentary
Time:90'- Udinese
- Internazionale
90+6' That's it, full-time! Inter have beaten Udinese courtesy of Mauricio Isler's own-goal in the 77th minute. Thanks for joining us!- 90+5' A through ball from midfield almost finds Quagliarella, but the forward is just offside - that looks to be it.
90+4' Simone Pepe then has a header which goes close to equalising, but it drifts narrowly wide. Inter survive again.- 90+3' Obodo comes close with a header from inside the Inter box, but it does not seem to be going Udinese's way.
- 90+2' Cambiasso and Vieira keep hold of possession as Mourinho looks as cool as ever, sat in his dugout looking at his watch.
- 90' Six minutes of injury time to follow at the end of this second half.
- 89' Pasquale emerges from defence before lumping a long ball up to Pepe, but Cambiasso intervenes.
- 88' Another run from the Sweden striker peters out with a shot wide of Belardi's far post.
- 87' Felipe defends well with Ibrahimovic bearing down on goal, conceding a corner.
- 86' Figo has some neat interplay with Zanetti in midfield as Inter look to keep hold of the ball.
- 85' Chivu concedes two corners with some stout defending, but Udinese do not seize the opportunity and Inter regain possession.
84' Udinese briefly threaten as Odion Ighalo, who has just come on as a substitute, wins a free kick in the Inter half, but the delivery is poor as the visitors hold firm.- 83' The first change for Udinese sees Gokhan Inler replaced by Christian Obodo.
- 82' Patrick Vieira has made an undoubted difference since he came on for Inter, adding some power to the midfield, while Figo's invention has threatened to create further chances.
- 81' Udinese are not looking like coming back into the match, with Quagliarella struggling to make the impact he did in the first half.
- 80' The goal has shaken Inter into playing with a better intensity, as they strive to hold on to their slender lead.
79' Pepe is booked for Udinese, as the game seems to be slipping away from them.
77' GOAL!!! Finally, the deadlock is broken as Isla scores an own-goal! Ibrahimovic and Figo combine on the edge of the area, before Vieira charges into the box, but as the Frenchman fails to connect cleanly, the ball strikes Inler and past Belardi!- 76' A neat one-two between Figo and Cambiasso almost creates an opening, but Inler intercepts cleanly.
- 75' Udinese, unlike in the first half, seem incapable of holding possession at the moment.
- 73' Vieira is booked, minutes after coming on as a replacement, for a mis-timed challenge.
- 72' Mourinho is furious on the touchline as his side squander possession frequently.
- 71' Pepe is treading a thin line with the referee after two niggly fouls on Patrick Vieira.
- 69' Zlatan Ibrahimovic streaks through on goal, but from a tight angle opts to take one touch too many before Zapata recovers to make a crucial tackle.
- 68' Mourinho's final substitution is an enforced one as Cesar trudges off to receive treatment, with Toldo replacing him.
67' Julio Cesar looks to have sustained a dead leg after a challenge with Floro Flores, with Toldo warming up.- 66' Mourinho makes a double change to demonstrate his frustration, with Luis Figo and Patrick Vieira coming on in place of Davide Santon and the entirely ineffectual Mario Balotelli.
- 65' Ivan Cordoba does well to track Asamoah right into the corner as the midfielder looked to have got away from his marker.
- 64' Belardi is down clutching his finger in agony after Cruz slid in to challenge for a loose ball, unintentionally fouling the keeper.
- 63' Felipe is fouled by Cambiasso, as the Udinese player was bustling his way into his opponent's half.
- 61' Chivu looks to be struggling with a knock after contesting an aerial challenge with Floro Flores in his own half, as he limps to the touchline to receive treatment.
- 60' Ivan Cordoba is almost caught out by Simone Pepe, but Cristian Chivu covers and alleviates the danger.
- 59' Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the one bright spark for Inter in this match, strikes a tame shot straight at Belardi, who gathers comfortably.
- 57' Most of the play is condensed in midfield as Muntari and Cambiasso scrap with Inler and Asamoah.
- 56' Inter are dominating territorially in this second half, but have created no clear-cut chances as yet.
- 55' The game is just as fragmented and scrappy as it was in the first half so far, but by the looks of Quagliarella, Inter have their work cut out dealing with his runs.
- 54' Belardi makes a comfortable save from the resultant free-kick, taken by Balotelli.
- 53' Pasquale remonstrates with the referee after being penalised for a sturdy challenge on Santon, but he went down very easily.
- 52' Zanetti is once again adopting a central role, spraying passes across the pitch, from one end to the other.
- 51' Ibrahimovic is dropping deep inside the Udinese half to collect the ball from the Inter midfield, with Balotelli charging behind him.
- 49' Cesar appears determined to start Inter's attacks directly from his deliveries, launching long balls up to Ibrahimovic and Balotelli, but to no avail so far.
- 48' Julio Cesar is very sharply off his line to collect an over-hit through ball by Inler.
- 47' Luis Figo and Julio Cruz are the substitutes who look most likely to come on, if their warm-ups are to give you an impression.
46' The second half is underway at the Stadio Friuli and Inter have surely had a piece of Mourinho's mind at half-time, they must up their level if they are to win this game.- 45+1' The half-time whistle is blown to the relief of Jose Mourinho, who marches purposefully down the tunnel to reorganise his side after they have performed poorly thus far. It is goalless at the break at Stadio Friuli.
- 45' Just one minute to be added at the end of a scrappy first half.
- 44' Inter are playing for half-time now, after some sustained Udinese pressure.
- 43' Maxwell brings the ball out from defence before over-hitting a through ball to Balotelli.
- 42' Cambiasso tackles Inler very robustly, with the Udinese midfielder staying down for a while before getting back gingerly to his feet.
- 41' The play is increasingly fragmented as neither side is able to gain fluent possession.
- 39' Chivu is shouting incessantly at his fellow defenders to keep a high line, with Quagliarella looking dangerous drifting in behind them.
- 38' Maxwell is booked for a late lunge on Quagliarella, who is at the forefront of everything positive for Udinese.
- 38' Zanetti is barely playing as a full-back, pushing inside and stringing passes together for Inter.
- 37' D'Agostino fouls Muntari as the midfielder was finding some space down the centre of the field.
- 36' Floro Flores keeps the pressure on Inter with a jinking run down the right which wins his side a corner.
- 35' Quagliarella, who has looked the most potent threat on either side, drills a shot wide of Cesar's near post, but it was not far away.
- 33' Simone Pepe has a speculative shot from distance but it does not trouble Cesar in the slightest.
- 32' Maxwell trips Pepe cynically, but again the referee deems it not worthy of a caution - debatable.
- 31' Cambiasso and Muntari play the ball around idly in midfield, with little urgency from either side.
- 30' Stankovic is incensed by a tackle from Inler which is very late, but he gets away without a booking.
- 29' Ivan Cordoba rampages forward powerfully, but is upended by Zapata as he looked to get in a cross for Balotelli.
- 27' Zanetti continues to drift inside and dictate play, but there is so little pace going forward for Inter that the options are limited.
- 26' Balotelli has been entirely anonymous thus far, which must be a concern for Mourinho; but Ibrahimovic has looked bright and inventive.
- 25' Muntari collides with Isla on halfway and both players blame the other, with the referee non plused.
- 24' Mourinho whips out a wrist watch from his pocket and sighs as he realises that 24 minutes have passed, with neither side looking like scoring.
- 23' Dejan Stankovic brings the ball out from the back for Inter, before exchanging passes with Ibrahimovic and releasing Santon down the right, before the move breaks down.
- 22' Ibrahimovic holds the ball up well, before releasing Muntari, who ran onto the ball at pace, before shooting narrowly wide - that was the best move of the game so far.
- 21' Quagliarella is booked for a cynical tug on Santon, who was dribbling at pace down the right for Inter in an attacking position.
- 19' Sulley Muntari emulates his opposite number with an equally erratic shot over the bar at the other end.
- 18' Asamoah shows his pace, storming from midfield and letting fly with a wild shot.
- 17' Ibrahimovic clumsily lunges in on Isla, with the defender emerging out from the back and dallying on the ball.
- 16' Zanetti and Santon combine well on the right for Inter, but Balotelli has struggled to get into the game as yet.
- 15' Asamoah feeds Pepe down the left wing for Udinese, but the midfielder's cross is over-hit and Cesar shepherds it out of play.
- 14' Inter's bench consists of Luis Figo, Hernan Crespo and Julio Cruz, so Mourinho has attacking options at his disposal.
- 13' Floro Flores is fouled from behind by Cambiasso, as the game continues to be a scrappy affair.
- 12' Ibrahimovic skips past Felipe down the Udinese right, but his attempted cross is intercepted by Belardi.
- 11' Jose Mourinho steps out to the edge of the touchline, emerging from the bench for the first time to bark instructions at Chivu and Maxwell in defence.
- 10' Cristian Chivu clatters Quagliarella with his arm as the two contest an aerial challenge, but the defender apologises profusely, with the forward being treated by the Udinese physio.
- 9' Julio Cesar punts a powerful ball upfield to Ibrahimovic, but the Swede is offside, with Udinese's defence playing a high line.
- 8' Antonio Flores attempts a through ball to Fabio Quagliarella, who almost times his run to perfection, but is ruled narrowly offside when through on goal.
- 7' Inter are finally beginning to settle, with Cambiasso and Santon holding the ball at their own pace, frustrating Udinese.
- 5' Gokhan Inler is pulling the strings in midfield for Udinese, and Inter are allowing him far too much time on the ball.
- 3' Udinese are maintaining their initial intensity, zipping the ball into their striker and feeding off their lay-offs.
- 2' Maxwell attempts to calm things down for the visitors, who remain under the cosh at the start of this match, but at least have possession.
1' We're underway at Stadio Friuli as Udinese push Inter straight back into their own half from kick-off.
- Mario Balotelli and Zlatan Ibrahimovic start up front for Internazionale as Jose Mourinho's side look to further stretch their seven-point lead at the top of Serie A.

Final Score: Udinese 1 - 0 Internazionale
The only reason Torres starts for Spain is when David Villa is injured or not 100%. Torres is very average technically. There is NO comparison between him and Villa. Villa is a better overall player !!
