End of 1st Half

HALF TIME: Stephan El Shaarawy's goal is the difference between the sides at the break. The hosts have had their chances, particularly in the dying stages of the half, but it's Inter 0-1 Roma at the halfway stage.

45'

There will be one minute added on at the end of an absorbing first half contest.

44'

JUST WIDE! How have Inter not equalised? This is another glorious opportunity. Perisic floats a cross to the far post, D'Ambrosio attacks the ball but from just a matter of yards he somehow heads wide!

43'

GREAT CHANCE! Mirante spills Politano's shot at his near post, it comes out to Vecino but Fazio gets across to make a crucial intervention!

42'

SO CLOSE! Asamoah goes past a couple of poor challenges to create room for a shot. It's deflected behind by Fazio which takes it a couple of inches past Mirante's post. Some fans at the opposite end of the stadium thought it was in! Asamoah's five-year search for a goal continues.

39'

FLASHPOINT! The referee points to the spot and awards Inter a penalty after D'Ambrosio goes down inside the box, but then immediately changes his mind! Valero had fouled Shaarawy a moment before and the free-kick is awarded Roma's way.

38'

D'Ambrosio makes an important challenge on Pellegrini, who had found himself in a three-vs-three situation.

37'

WIDE! Better from Inter. Perisic's dangerous cross picks out Vecino, who has made a late run into the box, but it's a difficult chance and he can't guide his header on target.

36'

Perisic tries to switch the play but overcooks his pass and it goes out for a throw-in at the opposite flank, drawing yet more jeers from the frustrated home supporters.

35'

Spalletti is hugely animated on the touchline. Roma are on top right now and good value for their lead.

33'

SAVE! El Shaarawy gets a left-footed shot away from a tight angle, forcing Handanovic into a smart save.

31'

30'

Inter concede possession in midfield, drawing groans from the home supporters who can't be pleased with what they have witnessed in this opening half hour.

28'

NO PENALTY! Florenzi is on the receiving end of a crunching Asamoah challenge, but the full-back jumps back to his feet and finds himself in a great position on the flank. His cross is blocked by Valero, prompting appeals for a Roma penalty. Replays show that Valero headed the ball onto his hand and it was completely accidental.

27'

Inter continue to bombard the Roma penalty area with crosses aplenty, but Florenzi and Co are proving difficult to breach.

26'

Skriniar plays a poor ball out of defence, straight into the path of an away player. The pass is played into the feet of Dzeko, but the Roma forward is an offside position.

24'

Inter win a dubious free-kick on the left. Perisic whips one to the far post and it's Florenzi who clears with some difficulty. The home supporters are beginning to grow a little frustrated now.

22'

Roma living dangerously at the moment, as Politano simply isn't being tracked. He swings in yet another delivery and Florenzi is on hand this time to intervene.
