43' | Borriello powers over his header from Ronaldinho's left-wing corner and the Inter fans chant 'Serie B, Serie B, Serie B'. |

1' | It has been used three times before tonight's clash - the Trofeo Berlusconi between Milan and Juve, an Inter training session and last weekend's home game against Bari. For the record, the grass is 28 millimetres tall. |
