    Time:90'
    • Internazionale
    • Catania
    • FT And there is the final whistle - Inter have the win that moves them back to the top of the table but they made hard work of it in the end.
    • 90+2 It is something in between the two but Julio Cesar hangs on with ease.
    • 90+1 It was actually Krhin not Santon that came on for Muntari and the Slovenia has given a free away about 45 yards out. Chance for a cross or even a shot...
    • 90' There will be three extra-minutes.
    • 90' Classic play from Viera as he charges in to break up the play as Catania look to attack.
    • 88' Mourinho must be a worried man. Off comes Eto'o and on comes Matterazzi.
    • 88' Eto'o with a decent free-kick over the wall but it curls just wide.
    • 87' Maicon brought down Silvestre 30 yards out and he gets a yellow card for his troubles.
    • 86' Santon on for Muntari.
    • 85' And Llama has a half chance to get a shot away but he drags it wide of the target. Late pressure on Inter when there really should never have been.
    • 84' CATANIA ARE BACK IN IT. Mascara has swept home a penalty after Julio Cesar brought fown Plasmati in the six yard box.
    • 82' Plasmati slides in to get a shot on target after some decent build up play from Catania but Julio Cesar saves with ease.
    • 80' Superb ball from Mascara and Lucio takes a swing at it inside the six-yard box. He was lucky not to put that into his own net.
    • 79' Chivu clears the danger away as a Catania counter attack fizzles out quite quickly.
    • 78' Lovely spin move from Eto'o as he tries to get into the box but Spolli is there to clear it out for corner.
    • 76' 6'6" giant Plasmati comes on for Delvecchio as Catania make their last change.
    • 75' Carboni certainly likes to try his luck from distance. His latest effort is a good hit but blocked by Viera.
    • 74' Sneijder is being given a rest - his work is done - he goes off and Stankovic comes on.
    • 72' Another really poor cross from Capuano. The captain letting his side down with his deliveries.
    • 71' Morimoto with a nice turn on the edge of the box but he cannot quite slip the ball in for Delvecchio.
    • 70' Nice, quick build up play from Inter but then Balotelli sees his cross blocked.
    • 69' Campagnolo with a suspect punch but he gets away with as Maicon hits well over the bar to end the attack.
    • 67' Balotelli is fouled in the corner but again why the massive dive? He is a big man and he should not be going down like that.
    • 65' Mascara moans at the referee about where the wall is and then curls the ball well over the bar.
    • 64' Cordoba dives in to stop Morimoto who was driving towards ball. He won the ball but with two-feet. He gets a yellow card and Catania have a chance with a free-kick 30 yards out in nearly the exact same spot that Sneijder took his from.
    • 63' Capuano with one of the worst crosses you are ever going to see. Not even Dracula would be worried by a cross like that.
    • 61' Eto'o looks to play in Zanetti after receiving the ball from his captain but the ball was just a little overhit and Campagnolo can gather.
    • 59' Sneijder whips in a free and Campagnolo punches away ahead of Viera - the ball drops to the head of Eto'o but he cannot guide the ball on target as it goes over the bar.
    • 58' Carboni booked for a heavy tackle on Zanetti. He got that card as much for persistent fouling as anything else though.
    • 56' The pattern of the match contines. Inter with plenty of possession but without much desire to do anything with it. They seem happy enough with their 2-0.
    • 54' Morimoto holds the ball up well and then checks it back to Carboni who screws his shot well wide - that was half a chance.
    • 54' Sneijder with something that was neither a shot or a cross but Inter still well on top.
    • 53' Sneijder tires to dictate things in the final third of the pitch but Inter are crowded out - just not enough space to try little flicks.
    • 51' Muntari finds Balotelli down the left but the striker is then a little greedy as he tries a shot (which is blocked) when he should have tried to find Eto'o at the far post.
    • 50' Catania cannot really hang onto the ball for any decent period of time and that is making life very comfortable for Inter.
    • 48' Eot'o breaks free of his man and puts in a half decent cross but Silvestre heads away.
    • 47' A few loose passes already from Inter in the early stages of the half.
    • 46' And Inter have got us back underway. One change for Catania. Mascara has come on for Izco.
    • HT And there is the half-time whistle - everything going to plan so far for Inter.
    • 45' Javier Zanetti is making a record equalling 476th appearance for Inter today but he goes in the book for a heavy tackle on Llama. Correct decision.
    • 44' Cordoba the latest Inter man to fall heavily but again he should be fine.
    • 42' Long ball finds Balotell in the box - he goes down after a slight push from Spolli but a massive dive from the Inter striker who is never going to get a penalty for that.
    • 40' Break in the play after Delvecchio goes down hurt following a tackle from Lucio - he seems to be okay though.
    • 38' Catania still having a go to be fair to them. They have just got a string of balls into the box but Inter's defence remains solid.
    • 36' Llama now tries his luck from miles out and it is another poor, poor effort.
    • 34' Catania have an early chance to get one back as the ball falls to Delvecchio on the edge of the box but he puts his half-volley well over the bar.
    • 32' AND BOY DOES HE FANCY IT!!! The Dutchman curls it over the wall and into the top corner. It already looks like Inter are going back top. Again it looked like Campagnolo could have done better but a super free nonetheless.
    • 31' Eto'o turns Biagianti and is fouled straight away. Inter now have a free just left of centre about 30 yards out. Sneijder fancies it.
    • 30' Mourinho looking rather pensive on the sideline. He won't relax until his side get a second.
    • 28' OFF THE BAR FROM VIERA!!! A cross from the left drops to the former Arsenal man. He has all kinds of time to take it down but then he hammers his shot off the underside of the bar.
    • 26' Sneijder gets a shot on target from just outside the box but it doesn't have enough power on it and Campagnolo saves with ease.
    • 24' Catania having a couple of throw-ins deep in the Inter half and Chivu now seems to have picked up a little knock for Inter.
    • 22' Just a couple of warning signs for Inter that they might not have things all their own way here. They really could do with stepping up a gear.
    • 20' Carboni with a cracking shot from 35 yards out and that takes Julio Cesar by surprise and he has to bat it away for a corner. Nothing comes from that though.
    • 19' Catania getting a little bit more ambitious now - they have actually spent some time in the Inter half!!!
    • 17' Capuano tries to whip a ball into the Inter box but there are no red shirts there and it is easily cleared.
    • 15' The traffic still going in one direction as Inter remain in control.
    • 13' GOAL FOR INTER!!!! A bit of a fluke from Muntari - he plays a long ball into the box looking for Eto'o - the Cameroon man cannot get a touch on it but then Campagnolo only looks on as the ball goes into the corner of the net. Terrible goalkeeping. A gift for Inter
    • 11' Maicon with a chance to whip in a cross from the right but that is too heavy and bypasses everyone.
    • 9' Strange save by Campagnolo with his legs denies Lucio with a header from a corner but it does the job.
    • 8' Viera with a mis-placed pass for Inter. The home team not yet at their best.
    • 6' Catania start to get on the ball a little bit now and are settling into the game.
    • 4' Silvestre with an error at the back Eto'o is nearly in but he has the ball taken off his toe. Sneijder then nearly finds him with a low cross but it is cut out.
    • 3' Inter as you would expect are controlling the possession in the early stages of this match.
    • 2' Balotelli drives forward and tries to slip in Eto'o but his strike partner was offside.
    • 1' Takayuki Morimoto is up front on his own for Catania with top scorer Jorge Andrés Martinez out injured.
    • 1' And Catania wearing red get us underway.
    • - Mario Balotelli starts up front with Samuel Eto'o tonight despite Jose Mourinho criticising his work in training and blaming "people who surround young players of this generation"
    • - Gianluca Atzori is the Catania coach. He was an assistant at the club in the past and after a spell as Ravenna coach last year, took the top job here in the summer.
    • - Jose Mourinho's side are looking to bounce back after a disappointing night in Europe during the week when they were held at home by Dynamo Kiev. Inter held to draw by Kiev
    • - Inter were hoping to have former Genoa duo Diego Milito and Thiago Motta back for this evening's game but both miss out again despite having returned to training on Thursday.
    • - That means Sampdoria have a one point lead at the top of the table. Serie A table
    • - The reason why Inter are playing catch up is because Sampdoria have already won today thanks to a 4-1 win over Bologna. Classy Sampdoria go top
    • - Welcome to our LIVE coverage from the San Siro as Internazionale look to regain top spot by beating Catania.

  • Summary

    • 88' Eto'o with a decent free-kick over the wall but it curls just wide.
    • 84' CATANIA ARE BACK IN IT. Mascara has swept home a penalty after Julio Cesar brought fown Plasmati in the six yard box.
    • 80' Superb ball from Mascara and Lucio takes a swing at it inside the six-yard box. He was lucky not to put that into his own net.

  1. Hola. Please football fans, and pondits help us talk to­ sneijder, maicon and the rest to be more generous in­ feeding the strikers with balls. if not, Intel is­ heading to no where. that is in no way a ptrofessional­ footballing. Tacticality, distributive mechanism is the­ watchwords in tye qworld of digital football. Please­ Mourinho, talk to ur guys be4 u head for dumn. i have­ never seen this any where for a team aspiring to lift­ the champions league. Please change now or never. ­ Tony Touch

  2. Forza Inter...

    From alfered_1387, on Sun 25 Oct 6:47AM

  3. Hope Jose Mouriho takes on board the comments written -­ I totally agree Balotelli (plus others) is so selfish­ poor Eto doensn't stand a chance and that is no way­ for a team to perform it looks as if he is frozen out­ of the game.

    From SHEILA R, on Sat 24 Oct 11:58PM

  4. Nick and Lewiswanda, U guys are so right. Inter will­ never win the champions league because of the players­ mentality of runninng with the ball and the midfielders­ (stankovich and Sneider) and Maicon trying to shoot­ from every corner of the pitch. They don't link the­ strikers up well, hitting and kicking long balls into­ the opponents goal area. Infact, its the strikers that­ play to supply the through balls and create chnaces for­ themselves. I like inter but they sulk. They win games­ because of their good defence as they are not utilising­ their strike force well and do not press well too when­ they don't have the ball. Englisg and spanish teams­ will run them ragged.

    From Banke, on Sat 24 Oct 9:49PM

  5. fed up with mourinho. cant he tell balotelli to pass­ the ball for once? why does he allow balloteli play­ selfishly? what about the others on the bench? why must­ he work out hi players week in week out? i think­ muntari is in abit of a slump. try out khrin frequently­ and see what comes out, i am really dissapionted.­ Samuel eto'o has to strugle before he has a ball.­ every one want to score for inter. thats so sad. really­ sad

    From fresh, on Sat 24 Oct 9:37PM

  6. JOSE YOU ARE SO NOT HAPPY AT INTER MILAN - TIME YOU­ WERE BACK IN THE ENGLISH PREMIER.
