SITTER!
What a huge chance for Inter!
A deep free-kick is delivered into the box by Calhanoglu, and De Vrij meets it with a header at Lezzerini, who makes a save. However, the Venezia goalkeeper cannot keep hold of the ball, and it drops to Dzeko just a few yards out, but he puts it over the bar!
The Bosnian was taken out by Lezzerini moments after he made contact for the ball, and after a quick VAR check, nothing is given.

VENEZIA HOLD FIRM
Both Dimarco and Barella put crosses into the box, but on both occasions, the danger is cleared.

ONE ADDED MINUTE
The board goes up for one additional minute.
The game is stopped as VAR checks a potential penalty for a handball in the Venezia box as Dzeko challenged for the ball with Modolo.
Check is over - the referee is struggling to control this game.

VAR CHECK OVER!
The goal stands after a short VAR check. Venezia were arguing that one of their players was caught by Dzeko's arm in the build-up to that goal.
It did look tight but the goal stands.
Lezzerini is booked for protesting the decision.

GOAL! INTER ARE LEVEL
Darmian does really well to beat two Venezia players on the right byline, before whipping in a cross.
It is met first-time on the volley by Perisic, but Lezzerini saves.
However, the rebound falls straight to Barella, who has an easy tap-in.

COMES TO NOTHING
Some really intricate one-touch play just outside the box from Inter comes to nothing, with the ball finding an advancing Skriniar, but the centre-back eventually gives away a foul and Venezia survive.

ALMOST THE SPECTACULAR!
A long ball comes into the box for Inter, and Dzeko gets the flick-on to the path of Martinez in the centre of the area, and the forward tries a spectacular bicycle kick first-time, but it goes over the bar.

STRAIGHT AT LEZZERINI
After a good passage of play for Inter, which sees Dzeko's shot from inside the box initially blocked well, the ball finds its way to Calhanoglu on the edge of the box, who hits it low but it is straight at the Venezia goalkeeper.

GOAL! VENEZIA LEAD AGAINST THE RUN OF PLAY!
Wow! After being camped in for most of the game, the visitors break on the right, with Ampadu advancing forward.
The Chelsea loanee whips a beautiful ball into the centre, and Henry is there to head the ball in to give his side a shock lead away at the San Siro!
