44' From a central position just ouside the Parma area, Conceicao plays into the box for Emre, whose final shot is blocked by Bonera.
42' Mutu rifles in a shot from a dead-ball situation 25 yards out. Toldo makes an excellent save.
37' GOOOOAAAAAL!!!! Cannavaro heads square to Gladiator inside the Parma 6-yard box after a majestic free kick curled in from the left by Recoba. Gladiator's first attempt is parried by Frey, then he follows up with a shot that hits the back of the net.
29' Recoba picks out Martins on the edge of the Parma area. Ferrari makes a crucial intervention to neutralise the danger. Corner to Inter.
26' The game has stopped momentarily as Benarrivo's cut above his left eye has reopened. Ferrari also requires attention to a rather large looking bruise on his head.
22' Adriano again.... This time, Toldo punches clear a 25-yard free kick from the Brazilian.
20' Adriano volleys a left-footed shot past Toldo after latching on to a long ball forward from Benarrivo, but it's disallowed for offside.

11' Almeyda gets back well to intercept a Barone pass to Mutu inside the Inter box. Corner to Parma.
9' Emre takes on two men before passing square to Di Biagio in a central position on the edge of the Parma box. Di Biagio makes the return pass, but it's too long.
6' Conceicao finds space on the right and makes a run on goal, but his final shot is too weak and is easily collected by Frey.
3' After a two-minute interruption due to an injury to Benarrivo, the game gets underway again. Parma momentarily down to ten men.
2' Pasquale plays a long ball forward to Martins on the left wing. Martins passes to Recoba, who passes to Emre. The Turks's diagonal shot is saved by Frey.
1' Inter kick off tonight's Serie A Week 15 clash at Tardini stadium. An Inter victory will put the side back on top of the Serie A. FORZA NERAZZURRI!!!
