Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the Coppa Italia semi-final first-leg contest between Inter and Juventus. We will have the team news for you in a moment. Kick-off is now just an hour away at San Siro!

Skriniar pulls free at the back post to meet Sanchez's deep delivery but he can't direct his header on target.

Yellow card! Sandro accidently clips the heel of Darmian and goes into the book, as Inter win a free-kick on the right flank.

Sanchez gets in behind the Juve defence but shoots well wide. It wouldn't have counted as he was in an offside position, although replays show he may well have been on.

That changes things. Ronaldo had hardly been involved and Juve had hardly threatened. Since the goal, Inter are struggling to get out of their half.

GOAL! Inter 1-1 Juventus (Cristiano Ronaldo, pen): Ronaldo steps up and confidently smashes it down the middle, leaving Handanovic with no chance! We're all level in this tie!

Penalty to Juve! The referee points to the spot and Young is subsequently booked!

VAR checks for a possible penalty! Young loses Cuadrado and subsequently grabs the Juve wing-back, bringing him down, in a desperate bid to stop him from meeting a cross. The referee runs over to the screen, and Juve could have a penalty here...

Skriniar stays on his feet and makes the interception as Ronaldo tries a one-two with Bernardeschi.

Tension is building as now Barella is penalised for a foul on Sandro.

Bentancur plays it short, Cuadrado eventually delivers into the box. Ronaldo feels he's being fouled, but play resumes. Alex Sandro then blazes his shot into row-Z.

Ronaldo has barely got started, but he comes deep and wins his side a free-kick. Juve will bring the big men from the back up to contest this delivery.

Yellow card! That's a poor challenge from Demiral, who goes through the back of Sanchez and deservedly goes into the book. He thought he could nick it but gets it badly wrong.

That was a lovely team goal, but questions will be asked of Buffon. He ought to be saving those.

GOAL! Inter 1-0 Juventus (Lautaro Martinez): Inter spring a counter-attack and draw first blood! Sanchez holds the ball up following a beautiful pass from Vidal and feeds Barella, who drives down the right and centres it for Martinez, who gets in front of de Ligt. He gets his shot away, Buffon should save it but it squirms underneath him, and Inter are ahead!

Juve are knocking the ball around the back, trying to feel their way into this game.

Bernadeschi drives to the by-line, but his cross is over the head of everyone. He was also offside.

It has started like a game of chess. Vidal tries to pick out Darmian, who had made a darting run in behind the Juve defence, but Buffon is off his line to gather.

Inter have made hard work of getting to this stage, leaving it late to beat Fiorentina and AC Milan in the earlier rounds. It has been slightly more straight forward for Juve.

Juve have won each of their last five semi-finals, while Inter have crashed out at this stage three times in the last nine years.

Kick-off! Plenty of laughs and smiles shared between officials, Handanovic and Buffon at the coin toss, as Juve get us underway!
