Inter hit back to hold Juventus as Lukas Podolski makes debut

Mauro Icardi's second-half goal secured a point for Inter Milan in the Derby d'Italia as Roberto Mancini's side held Juventus to a 1-1 draw in Turin.

Carlos Tevez netted his first ever goal against Inter to give the Bianconeri a fifth-minute lead, though the plaudits will go to the creator Arturo Vidal, who produced a sublime 'croqueta' to glide past Gary Medel in the build-up to the goal.

Inter were outplayed in the first half, but the introduction of Lukas Podolski revitalised the Nerazzuri, who deservedly levelled on 64 minutes through Icardi's finish from Fredy Guarin's pass down the right channel.

The Argentine had a great chance to take all three points for Inter eight minutes from the end, but the 21-year-old was unable to get a proper connection at the far post to Podolski's cross from the left.

Referee Luca Bandi showed his first yellow card of the match midway through the second half, then produced six more and a red card to Inter Matteo Kovacic in a feisty last quarter.

Juventus are now one point clear of second-placed Roma at the top of Serie A, while Inter lie in 11th place.

3' – CHANCE! Tevez runs into the box from the right-hand side of the area following Stephan Lichsteiner's pass, but Claudio Marchisio shoots wide of the Inter goal.

5' – GOAL! Juventus 1-0 Inter Milan. Carlos Tevez makes it 11 for the season with a tap-in from Arturo Vidal's cross from the right. The Chilean made the chance with a lovely flick through the legs to take Medel out of the play.

26' – SAVE! Handanovic is down to his left to keep out Vidal's effort from 30 yards. The Inter goalkeeper then punches clear Pirlo's corner.

33' – SAVE! Pirlo finds Evra, who rolls the ball to Vidal in space on the left-hand edge of the area, but Handanovic is down well to save his curling effort towards the far post.

34' – SAVE! Handanovic makes a great stop to deny Pogba one-on-one, after a great drop of the shoulders from the Frenchman to get past Ranocchia.

64'- GOAL!Juventus 1-1 Inter Milan. Icardi runs on to Guarin's pass and rolls the ball past Buffon from the right channel for his fifth goal in four appearances against Juventus.

68' - WHAT A SAVE! Handanovic makes a fine one-handed save to deny Pirlo from the free-kick. The Inter goalkeeper had to change direction halfway through the save.

82' - CHANCE! Icardi is just unable to get a proper connection on Podolski's cross from the left.

83' - SAVE! Buffon tips over from Icardi's effort from the right channel that was arrowing into the top corner.

87' RED CARD! Kovacic sees red for a late tackle on Lichsteiner. It is all happening here in Turin!

Inter have now conceded seven goals in the opening quarter of their league games so far this season, a total only beaten by Cagliari (10).

Nine of Juventus' 35 league goals have come in the first 20 minutes of their matches.

Juventus are unbeaten in their last 36 home matches in Serie A.

Mauro Icardi has scored in each of his four league games against Juventus.

Does Roberto Mancini have a divided squad? Pablo Osvaldo had to be held back from hitting his Inter team-mate Mauro Icardi after the Argentine had chosen to shoot rather than pass in a Nerazzuri counter-attack with four minutes of the match remaining. Icardi apologised afterwards, saying: "I got it wrong – I should have passed it, but I saw a gap and went for it.”

Samir Handovic (Inter Milan) The Slovenian goalkeeper produced a series of fine saves to deny Juventus, the best of which came midway through second half with a punch to clear Andrea Pirlo's free-kick. The stop looked awkward on the replays, but the 30-year-old had made an initial movement to his left to cover the far corner, and then readjusted in a split-second movement to spring himself back to the right of his goal.
