8. 1'

   <b>KICK OFF</b>

9. 2'

   Robinho tries to release Ibrahimovic but the striker is offside, and obviously gets jeered by the Inter faithful.

10. 3'

    Abate does really well down the right and sends in a delicious cross and Seedorf, with time to spare, fluffs his header from eight yards out. A golden chance.

11. 4'

    Milan penalty! Materazzi hauls down Ibrahimovic and that is a nailed on spot kick.

12. 5'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Ibra picks himself up to slot the penalty and score against his former club. What a start for Milan!

13. 6'

    Seedorf clips the ball out of play under no pressure. No Inter player seems to be closing him down at all yet.

14. 7'

    Eto'o cuts in and feigns a shot, but then hangs on to it too long and Abate toes the ball away from him.

15. 9'

    That was an emphatic penalty from Ibrahimovic, and Materazzi can have no complaints after hacking the striker's ankle in the box.

16. 10'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Abate is carded for tugging back Eto'o after the striker had beaten him by the touchline.

17. 11'

    Thiago Silva hands the ball right to Eto'o, then Nesta nudges the Inter man off the ball as he raced towards the box. No foul given.

18. 12'

    Eto'o wins a corner off Gattuso.

19. 13'

    Abbiati is out to claim the corner and he launches a counter attack as Ibra springs the offside trap and crosses for Flamini but Cordoba did brilliantly to put him off his stride.

20. 14'

    Tidy defending from Silva as he denies Milito the chance to get on the end of Sneijder's long pass.

21. 15'

    Seedorf cuts inside and tries a shot but Zanetti blocks it, then Ibra opens up a chance with some neat control, he elects to volley the ball across goal and Materazzi hooks it clear.

22. 17'

    Inter have been pretty much redundant as an attacking force in this game so far, and dodgy at the back.

23. 18'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Gattuso charges into Obi and gets carded. He seems baffled, but I've no idea why.

24. 19'

    Ambrosini floats a lovely ball to the back post and Ibra, in Van Basten style, volleys just over the bar. What a strike.

25. 20'

    Robinho has the ball in the net but he was a yard offside when he collected Ibra's ball.

26. 22'

    Rafael Benitez needs to do something here because Milan could be out of sight if it carries on like this.

27. 23'

    Another Inter move falls down in the final third.

28. 24'

    Obi wins a corner down the left after his cross was diverted behind by Abate.

29. 25'

    Sneijder's corner is poor and Ambrosini clears at the near post. Benitez does not look happy on the touchline.

30. 26'

    You fear for Benitez if his team relinquish their record of 52 unbeaten games at home to their most bitter rivals.

31. 27'

    Milito tries to return Obi's pass but Nesta is in the way. The game has gone very scrappy.

32. 28'

    Lucio barges into Gattuos and is perhaps lucky not to see yellow.

33. 30'

    Neither side can hit their attacking targets at the moment. There is a distinct lack of midfield quality at the moment.

34. 32'

    Robinho drives towards the area and looks for Ibrahimovic but the ball is whisked away by Chivu.

35. 33'

    Looks like Obi has pulled a hamstring. Cambiasso is stripped and ready.

36. 35'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Well, Cambiasso was stripped and ready but now Coutinho has got the nod to replace Obi.

37. 35'

    Robinho tries to find Ibrahimovic and he goes over when faced with Materazzi but nothing is doing.

38. 36'

    Then at the other end Coutinho drags a shot wide after a neat Inter move.

39. 37'

    Lucio reads Seedorf's pass easily and sets Inter away before Gattuso hauls down Sneijder. The referee was about to get a card out before he realised who it was, and once again, the midfielder gets a final warning.

40. 39'

    Half the ground think Sneijder has scored as his free kick clips the net but his effort was narrowly wide.

41. 40'

    Good covering from Abate as he nods away Coutinho's crossfield pass.

42. 41'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Zanetti is carded for a lunge on Ambrosini.

43. 43'

    Stankovic tries an ambitious effort from distance and though he struck it well it never looked like troubling Abbiati.

44. 44'

    Acres of space for Robinho as he fires in a shot, blocked by Materazzi. Inter just aren't getting tight enough.

45. 45'

    Nesta floats in a ball that Lucio flicks behind. Corner for Milan.

46. 45'

    <b>HALF TIME</b> A bright opening, but the game tailed off towards the break. Ibrahimovic's penalty hands Milan a deserved lead and Benitez has plenty of thinking to do.

47. 46'

    We begin again...

48. 47'

    A decent opening for Seedorf as Abate finds him down the right but the veteran's shot is poor and well wide.

49. 48'

    A poor cross from Zanetti lets Ambrosini off the hook as it was he who surrendered possession.

50. 49'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> I should have mentioned that Andrea Pirlo has replaced Gattuso, presumably before the latter was sent off.

51. 51'

    Slightly better from Inter this half but still no clear cut chances to speak of. Sneijder fires in a long range effort but it flies over the bar.

52. 52'

    Milan look like they are sitting quite deep now, inviting their opponents onto them.

53. 53'

    Another long range effort, this time from Seedorf, but his shot is too high to trouble Castellazzi.

54. 54'

    Ambrosini hurls himself into Eto'o and is very lucky not to get booked.

55. 55'

    Sneijder's effort from the free kick is fierce but right at Abbiati, who bats it away.

56. 57'

    Pandev and Abate have a big bust up and now everyone is getting involved.

57. 58'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/red_card.jpg" height="15"> Abate gets another yellow and Milan will play the last half an hour with ten men. It was a needless shoving match and he is punished for his stupidity.

58. 59'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Pandev was booked for his part in the row too.

59. 60'

    Its heating up now as Chivu wins the ball from Seedorf and the pair have a row. They finally shake hands.

60. 61'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Robinho is sacrificed after Abate's sending off, and Luca Antonini is on.

61. 62'

    Another try from range from Sneijder but again his shot is right at Abbiati.

62. 63'

    Sneijder finds Pandev inside the area but his shot was scuffed and trickles towards Abbiati.

63. 64'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Ibrahimovic is carded for a high challenge on Materazzi. The defender hits the ground with a thump and that looked painful.

64. 65'

    Inter's players were furiously demanding a red card but it looked far worse than it was. Ibrahimovic actually pulled out of the challenge but he was still aerial and couldn't avoid making contact.

65. 67'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Materazzi goes off and Biabiany is on.

66. 68'

    A good effort from Seedorf who hits a shot on the run and fires it narrowly wide of the post.

67. 69'

    Stankovic is the latest to have a pop from range but yet again, it is too high.

68. 70'

    Antonini latches on to a Seedorf pass but as he gets into the area he realises he is all alone with no-one to cross to. He waits and tries to return the ball to Seedorf but Inter tidy up.

69. 71'

    Sneijder tries what must be his tenth effort from distance and this one is probably the worst of the lot.

70. 72'

    Cordoba hacks at Ibrahimovic and the striker wins a free kick. He's been in good nick tonight.

71. 73'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Seedorf is replaced by Kevin-Prince Boateng.

72. 74'

    The pattern for the rest of the game seems set now as Milan keep everyone behind the ball and soak up pressure.

73. 75'

    Sloppy play from Eto'o as he is flagged offside when there was no need to be.

74. 77'

    It's all hands to the pump for Milan now as Inter commit more and more men forward.

75. 78'

    Sneijder burst onto a loose ball after Coutinho and Ambrosini clashed, and he strokes a ball right across the face of goal. All it needed was a touch.

76. 79'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Ambrosini takes a yellow for dragging back Lucio.

77. 80'

    A great challenge from Silva on Eto'o as the striker charged into the box.

78. 81'

    Pandev finds Coutinho but his dummy is cleared by Nesta.

79. 82'

    Now Biabiany gets round the back and crosses but Silva boots clear.

80. 83'

    Zambrotta nearly presents the ball to Eto'o as he tried to deal with a Biabiany cross.

81. 84'

    Coutinho can't find a way through Milan's back line and time is running out for the champions. That 52 match unbeaten home run is about to come to an end....

82. 85'

    Coutinho is penalised for a high boot. Benitez's grimace grows.

83. 86'

    Pandev buys a free kick off Nesta and Inter can get this in the box.

84. 88'

    Lucio nudges Nesta as he tries to get on the end of Sneijder's pass.

85. 89'

    Cordoba's ball for Coutinho is too strong and Milan are nearly there.

86. 90'

    Four added minutes...

87. 91'

    Coutinho wins a corner as Flamini nods his cross behind.

88. 92'

    A terrible pass from Chivu is followed by poor control from Coutinho.

89. 93'

    A poor, poor cross from Zanetti and Milan look like they might be away before Lucio stops Antonini.

90. 94'

    Nesta wins a big header and also wins a free kick.

91. 95'

    <b>FULL TIME</b> A big win for Milan, who go top of the table. Inter's 52 match unbeaten home run comes to an end, and it is an old boy who has sealed the match. Ibrahimovic's penalty settles the derby and Benitez will have many questions to answer.
