    It's been a game short on general quality but when the goals have come, they've been very good. The ball comes to Inter Milan midfielder Joel Obi, who guides a shot perfectly into the corner from the edge of the area. A fine finish.

    And not a bad celebration either.

    If I've not mentioned Fernando Torres much, it's because he's done very little, a few misplaced passes aside.

    Inter Milan have a few chances to shoot but fail to take any of them, then the ball is poorly cleared by Adil Rami, straight to Mauro Icardi, whose shot is miles off target.

    It's almost 2-0 to AC Milan as Giacomo Bonaventura has a sniff at goal, his shot from an angle is deflected just wide - the corner comes to nothing.

    Inter Milan counter and Philippe Mexes gets the ball out for a corner under pressure from Rodrigo Palacio.

    Inter Milan come out on the front foot, they win a corner but AC Milan keeper Diego Lopez claims it.

    Second half is under way.

    AC Milan players are back out, Fernando Torres appears to be praying.

    And here Inter's players come - no changes from either side at the break.

    Will Roberto Mancini make any changes at the break? Not loads of proven striking quality on the bench - Dani Osvaldo and teenager Federico Bonazzoli are his main options up front.

    Inter Milan have a corner approaching injury time. But it goes out for a throw-in on the other side. Shocking. One minute of stoppage time.

  12. Postpublished at 20:27 Greenwich Mean Time 23 November 2014

    It's been a decent game so far, but perhaps more Aston Villa v West Brom than Barcelona v Real Madrid.

    Inter Milan coming forward now but fail to get the ball into the box. There's not been much between the teams so far, bar one fantastic goal obviously.

    Josh Pain:, external in all seriousness Maldini would be the best defender on the pitch if he played in this game. Dramatic decline for both sides.

    The classiest of finishes by Menez has put AC Milan ahead, and Mancini a headache.

    Inter Milan midfielder Joel Obi is the second player booked - for steaming into Adil Rami. What odds a red card at San Siro at some stage tonight?

    Dodo is back on the pitch now and clears a cross with his head.

    However, Fredy Guarin is now limping for Inter after that Philippe Mexes foul.

    AC Milan have a corner now, Dodo is still off the pitch. They whip the ball into the box but it's hit too hard and Milan go back to the halfway line before coming forward again slowly.

    Inter Milan break however, their first touch of the ball in a while, and Philippe Mexes is booked for fouling Fredy Guarin.

  19. Postpublished at 20:12 Greenwich Mean Time 23 November 2014

    Inter Milan defender Dodo had come back on but he's now off receiving treatment again, trying to stop the blood. Inter will have to decide whether to stick or twist with him soon.

    Well whatever Pipo Inzaghi told his team to do, it's worked - and in style.

    Stephan El Shaarawy cross is met by Jeremy Menez, who steers the ball home with a fantastic, first-time, side-footed volley from 12 yards.

    Woof.
