End of 2nd Half
FT
FULL TIME
It's all over and it has ended Inter 1-1 Roma. A point apiece, both clubs remain firmly in the hunt for a top-four spot.
90'+1
FINE SAVE! Handanovic to Inter's rescue! Roma launch a lightening counter-attack, Dzeko releases Kolarov who has made a lung-busting run down the flank. He flashes a shot across the face of goal and the Inter goalkeeper is on hand to push it away!
90'
Three minutes to be added on!
89'
No, because Dzeko can only head over the bar.
88'
Kluivert gets to the byline and wins Roma a corner... is this the moment?
86'
Keita Balde has replaced Politano for Inter. Time is running out for the hosts, who would all but secure their top-four spot with victory tonight.

WIDE! A rare opportunity for Roma in the second half. Fazio rises highest to meet Florenzi's corner delivery but heads wide.
81'
Justin Kluivert, who must wish he had stayed at Ajax, replaces the disappointing Pellegrini.

Into the last 15 minutes, can either side take the initiative and land what would be a crucial winner?
-
73'
SHOT! Politano has been dangerous with that left foot of his, but not on this occasion. He tries the spectacular from 25 yards but he fails to get his foot wrapped around the ball and his shot drifts harmlessly into the stands.
72'
Roma clear from the resulting set-piece but Inter are straight back on the attack.
71'
Perisic's cross is deflected and Mirante is forced to tip it over the bar, conceding a corner to Inter.
70'
CHANCE! A wonderful opportunity for Inter to take the lead for the first time in the game goes begging! Vecino's volleyed cross picks out Martinez inside the box. He ought to head it but instead tries an ambitious volley and he can't keep it down.
69'
SAVE! Inter clear to the edge of the penalty area, where Pellegrini is waiting. He catches his shot really sweetly, forcing Handanovic into a decent stop.
68'
Pellegrini stands up a cross to the far post, forcing a corner. Roma haven't been good enough since the restart but they have a chance now to restore their lead...
