    Time:90'
    • Internazionale
    • AS Roma
    • 90+3' The final whistle goes, and Roma have come away with a deserved point, even more so considering they lost Daniele de Rossi and mirko vucinic during the course of the game. Inter will have to make do with a five-point lead over Juve.
    • 90+2' Cambiasso heads through the area to milito in loads of space, and the striker lashes the ball into the roof of the net. He knew he was miles offside before he struck it though.
    • 90' There will be three minutes added on at the end of this match.
    • 88' This match has really opened up in the last few minutes, as both sides are taking it in turns to launch counter attacks.
    • 86' Marco motta has had an excellent match, but his cross to the far post sails high and wide.
    • 85' Inter beginning to step up a gear now. Sneijder finds Balotelli on the right and he fires it back across goal but Milito just can't get a touch at full stretch! Anything on that could have guided the ball past Julio Sergio.
    • 83' Eto'o watches Sneijder's pass all the way and is ready to VOLLEY... swiped into the crowd!
    • 81' Great diagonal ball from Sneijder to Eto'o, and the Cameroon striker hooks a ball across for Balotelli to try an overhead kick... he thought he was pushed, but the referee gives a free-kick Roma's way.
    • 80' Great ball through comes to Ricardo Faty... Julio Cesar saves, but Claudio Ranieri may wish it was a different player who got on the end of that pass!
    • 79' The Argentine is then caught offside chasing a long ball forward.
    • 79' Maicon fires a great ball in for Milito to attack... headed wide!
    • 78' It's a good delivery from Pizarro but it's headed away. Stankovic bursts down the right wing and Pizarro hauls him dowen and gets a booking.
    • 77' Marco Motta is writhing in pain after a challenge from Balotelli. Roma have a promising free-kick here...
    • 76' Julio Cesar bottles out of beating the oncoming attacker or even clearing with his right foot, and boots it out for a throw.
    • 75' Jeremy Menez has taken the brunt of this evening's abuse, and he gets a well-earned break so that Max Tonetto can come on.
    • 73' Bit of a lull in htis match. The players seem more focused on kicking each other than going for a winner right now.
    • 70' Okaka fights his way through midfield, plays the one-two and fires the shot just over the near upright! Great first contribution from the substitute.
    • 69' David Pizarro fouls Sneijder and Inter have a few on the field who can hurt Roma from this set piece. Sneijder is one of them, but his strike hits the wall.
    • 68' Stefano Okaka Chuka comes on for Roma as Vucinic will play no further part.
    • 67' Balotelli cynically trips David Pizarro over. This has not been the most amicable of matches to say the least.
    • 66' Vucinic twisted his ankle as he held off Samuel. He goes off for treatment.
    • 65' Vucinic is down injured, but Balotelli plays on. Eventually he hits a cross out of play, but Mexes has a go at him for not kicking it out of play sooner.
    • 64' Julio Cesar was fouled as the corner came in. It's Thiago motta who makes way for Cambiasso.
    • 63' Great build-up from Roma and Vucinic lays it off for MENEZ... good save by Julio Cesar and Maicon clears for a corner.
    • 63' Stankovic picks up a booking after committing what feels like countless fouls.
    • 62' Balotelli almost outstrips Riise for pace, but the Norwegian manages to muscle him off the ball. No mean feat.
    • 61' Esteban Cambiasso is preparing to come on for Inter.
    • 60' Marco Motta sends Sneijder on to the turf. Inter are starting to look bright now. Dejan Stankovic fires over from distance.
    • 59' Perrotta is back on, and is tripped by Thiago Motta as he ghosts past him. Riise's delivery is easily dealt with by Inter.
    • 58' Roma are still down to 10 men as Inter try to pick them apart, but Julio Sergio ends up with the ball.
    • 57' Ricardo Faty comes across and does well to win the ball off of Motta.
    • 56' Stankovic sends Menez rolling on the turf once more.
    • 55' john Arne Riise fancies a shot from the free-kick. It's some way out, but it wasn't that far off target.
    • 54' Simone Perrotta is going to be stretchered off. They've already lost Daniele de Rossi in this match, Roma can't afford to lose another influential midfielder.
    • 54' Menez is bundled over again. From the free-kick on the left Thiago Motta fouls Perrotta and gets a deserved booking.
    • 53' Milito is caught offside as he receives the long diagonal ball.
    • 52' Zanetti goes on a terrific mazy run down the left and beats two men before Andereolli comes across to challenge. Not bad for a 36-year-old.
    • 50' Menez looks for the instant reply, but his shot from the edge of the box is deflected behind for a corner.
    • 48' GOAL!! Inter are level! Roma don't clear their lines and Thiago Motta finds Eto'o, who turns and fires low into the far corner! A cracking finish from Eto'o for his sixth Serie A goal of the season.
    • 48' Balotelli has the ball once more and Mexes challenges him to concede a throw.
    • 47' Milito spreads the play out to Balotelli on the right, and the striker's shot is blocked.
    • 46' The second half is underway!
    • HT Jose Mourinho has seen enough, and is bringing on Wesley Sneijder and Mario Balotelli for the second half.
    • 45+3' The half-time whistle blows, and it's advantage Ranieri and Roma at the break.
    • 45+3' Julio Sergio is quick out of his box to clear a long ball before Eto'o can get on to it.
    • 45+1' Muntari cynically decks Menez behind the referee's back! Menez runs to complain to the referee's face, and gets a booking for dissent. If Inter are trying to wind the Frenchman up they're doing a good job, but is it worth Muntari risking a red card?
    • 45' The corner is headed half-clear and Stankovic clatters Menez in mid-air and looks down at him in disgust. Menez has taken a bit of a beating in this game.
    • 44' Milito seems ok. Okenough to turn Andreolli and leave him on his backside before forcing the corner anyway.
    • 43' Andreolli steers a long ball away from Milito, who goes down in a heap. Inter's top scorer got a whack in the stomach from Andreolli's heel as the defender made the interception.
    • 41' Thiago Motta shakes off a challenge from Vucinic and fires off the long-range effort, but once more it's not a challenge for Julio Sergio.
    • 40' Muntari earns a booking for a foul, and then grabs the official's hand in order to stop him getting the card out! Surely he can be sent off for that.
    • 39' The keeper punches clear and for once Menez does not win the foul as Roma try to launch the counter.
    • 38' Muntari is wide on the left being tracked by Motta but still manages to fire a cross/shot that Julio Sergio has to tip over the bar!
    • 37' Vucinic taps it for Riise to STRIKE... deflected just wide of the post! Roma try a routine at the corner that doesn't come off and Inter clear.
    • 36' Thiago Motta fouls Menez as the forward heads for the Inter box, and it's another set piece for Roma...
    • 35' Diego Milito is caught offside as he begins to bear down on goal.
    • 34' Roma have lost de Rossi, who goes down the tunnel. Ricardo Fati, who is a lot more defensively minded, comes on in his stead.
    • 33' Menez leads the counter attack for Roma and is cynically body-checked by Vieira. The home fans don't like it, but it's clear what the French midfielder had in mind there for his compatriot.
    • 32' De Rossi is led of the field still holding his head. Worrying signs for Roma.
    • 31' De Rossi has gone down holding his head after an aerial clash with Vieira.
    • 31' Maicon loses the ball in midfield to Vucinic, but slides in to win it back moments later.
    • 29' Menez looks busy down the right-hand side. Zanetti keeps him at bay until he plays the ball in to Vucinic. The Montenegrin's touch is heavy, and Menez runs it out of play as he tries to recover the ball.
    • 28' Thiago Motta fouls Marco Motta as another spell of Inter possession comes to an end.
    • 26' Julio Sergio has to punch clear after a suicidal backpass to him, and then Mexes almost loses the ball trying to dribble out of defence! Luckily for him, Stankovic slips over, and Roma escape this time.
    • 25' Walter Samuel goes right through the back of Vucinic, and then complains about conceding the free-kick. Pizarro floats the dead ball harmlessly off target, neither a cross nor a shot.
    • 24' Motta is fouled on the wing as Roma press forward.
    • 23' Some nice, quick interchanges from Roma win a free-kick, which is taken quickly and earns a corner. Fired to the far post but Inter can break. The counter ends as Stankovic mis-controls and concedes a throw.
    • 22' Mexes comes back on to the field. The Giuseppe Meazza has gone rather quiet since Vucinic's opener.
    • 20' The stretcher is out, but Mexes leaves the pitch on his feet, and should be able to continue.
    • 19' Mexes has gone down and stayed down following that Inter corner. Replays show the French defender and a team-mate clashed heads defending the set piece.
    • 18' Milito breaks into the box from the left and Julio Sergio comes off his line to tip the effort over the bar! Good goalkeeping from the Brazilian.
    • 17' Maicon tries a shot from distance, but strike is a comfortable catch for Julio Sergio.
    • 16' Let's see how Inter respond. They have barely relinquished possession since the goal.
    • 14' After a barren run for Mirko Vucinic, that's his second goal in two league matches.
    • 13' GOAL!! Motta fires in a good cross and Vucinic outjumps Lucio and sends a fantastic looping header over Julio Cesar and in! Roma one up at inter!
    • 13' Stankovic blazes a shot over the bar from distance. Inter yet to create any real chances.
    • 12' Inter have scored 16 goals in their five league matches since losing 10 to Sampdoria.
    • 11' Milito hits the deck in the Roma area. The Argentine striker does not appeal for a penalty, he just tripped over his marker.
    • 10' Maicon delivers a free-kick from the left, but the referee has seen some pushing and gives a foul Roma's way.
    • 9' De Rossi shoots, but his shot is shanked high into the stands.
    • 8' Vieira fouls Menez - wearing the number 94, as you do - and this could be a dead ball opportunity for Roma.
    • 7' De Rossi twists and turns in midfield as he tries to get things moving for Roma. He's got so much on his shoulders this season.
    • 6' Roma look like a side that hasn't kept a clean sheet in the league all season - they already look shaky when Eto'o and Milito put them under pressure.
    • 5' Muntari wins a free-kick in a good position. The delivery is not the best and is headed clear.
    • 4' What a start that would have been. Vucinic just didn't realise Lucio was gaining so much ground on him. Not bad for defender who is allegedly past it.
    • 3' Inter are caught flat-footed and Vucinic is clean through... HE MUST SCORE... Lucio sprints back to dispossess as Vucinic tried to go round the keeper!
    • 2' Motta sends a hopeful ball up to Vucinic, but Samuel is there to intercept with a header.
    • 1' The match is underway!
    • 19:44 So, it's Mourinho v Ranieri, a clash between two former Chelsea managers who are not exactly the best of pals. Roma are struggling in the league, and even a win at the Giuseppe Meazza this evening will only lift them up to 11th in the table.
    • 19:42 On Thursday Roma came from behind to grab a 2-1 Europa Cup victory over Fulham in a game that saw the West Londoners have two players sent off. Nine-man Fulham lose in Rome
    • 19:41 On Wednesday Internazionale staged a smash-and-grab raid to beat Dynamo Kiev 2-1 in Ukraine and top Champions League Group F. Inter top group after late show
    • 19:40 Jose Mourinho's Inter can extend their lead at the top of Serie A to seven points with a win over Roma. SPL table

  • Summary

    • 85' Inter beginning to step up a gear now. Sneijder finds Balotelli on the right and he fires it back across goal but Milito just can't get a touch at full stretch! Anything on that could have guided the ball past Julio Sergio.

    • 79' Maicon fires a great ball in for Milito to attack... headed wide!
