de Vrij chipped the ball delightfully to Icardi at the back post, but the striker's attempt soars above Sirigu's goal. That's the last action of the match!
FULL TIME: Inter 2-2 Torino
90' +2
L. Martínez enters the game and replaces M. Politano.
Another new face comes on for Inter as promising striker Lautaro Martinez is brought on for Politano.
90'
The board shows three minutes of added time.
88'
S. Lukić enters the game and replaces Iago Falqué.
Handanovic easily deals with a powerful Belotti shot that came from just outside of the box.
Sasa Lukic comes on for Falque who had a solid match today despite failing to find the back of the net.
86'
Belotti plays Meita in behind the defence.... but the latter's run was a little too early and the linesman waves his flag for offside.
84'
Keita breaks at pace through the midfield before playing in Icardi on the right! He takes a shot from an acute angle but Sirigu rises to the challenge and palms the effort away from danger.
81'
Politano whips in a fantastic free kick from range, and it finds Perisic.... who can't keep his effort down. He probably should have done better there!
78'
Ljajic and Belotti both get shots off in the box but neither can bulge the net. Troubling times for Inter though as Torino are applying consistent pressure now.
76'
Perisic makes an unchallenged run in the left channel, takes aim from range... and it skews just wide of goal! Not a bad effort that!

Description
72'
K. Baldé enters the game and replaces Š. Vrsaljko.
Right back Vrsaljko comes off with Keita Balde taking his place.
69'
Adding on to the goal, he'd deftly chipped the ball over an oncoming sliding challenge, shot, and it deflected off an Inter player which took the shot just past the hands of Handanovic!
68'
S. Meïté has scored a goal for Torino!
GOALLLL!!!! MEITE SPUTS THE BALL INTO THE BOTTOM LEFT HAND CORNER! Inter 2-2 Torino
66'
Dalbert enters the game and replaces K. Asamoah.
Asamoah does depart as predicted. Dalbert now enters the fray.
Politano now cuts down the left flank and delivers an early cross on the floor to Icardi, but his sliding efforts are not enough. It was a fantastic ball in, just inches away from being a goal.
64'
Asamoah seems to be limping a little. Doubt he's significantly injured, just something to keep an eye on.
61'
A. Ljajić enters the game and replaces R. Soriano.
A long ball is played towards Belotti again but this one is far less effective than the previous. Surely he's delighted to be getting significantly more service now though!
Soriano makes way for Adem Ljajic, who led Torino in assists last season with 10. Can he create the chance to level things up today?
58'
De Silvestre played a strong ball from the right into Belotti... it's too strong the and the striker can't control the pass. The visitors are continuing to look very dangerous.
55'
A. Belotti has scored a goal for Torino! Assist by Iago Falqué.
That's about five minutes now since Inter have had possession, nothing has come of it yet, but you sense that something will soon.
GOOALLLL!!! A long ball came over the top to Belotti whose first touch took him around Handanovic and he cooly passed the ball into the back of an empty net! Inter 2-1 Torino
Iago Falqué launched a ball forward towards Belotti from deep and the latter scored deftly!

Torino look much improved at the start of the second half here. Could they pull one back soon?
50'
Falque goes on a run down the right again, plays the ball into Rinson who curls an effort towards goal.... but it's caught by Handanovic. Positive signs there though!
48'
Inter pass the ball around the back which proves dangerous as Torino get a toe to it and Falque almost got to it in the box. That was close!

We're back underway!

Rincon catches Icardi with a high elbow, but the referee deems no extra action is required.

44'
S. de Vrij gets yellow.
New signing Stefan de Vrij picks up a yellow card for bundling over Soriano, who was trying to run into the box
42'
Vecino lines up an audacious shot from distance, and it predictably flies well over Sirigu's goal.
40'
Three players are currently laying on the pitch (two Inter, one Torino) as several loose passes lead to some lunging efforts. Let's hope things clean up a little bit soon!
38'
Aina does well on the right hand side to create space for the cross which is a good one... but it's cut out before it can reach any of the three Torino players in the box.
36'
E. Moretti gets yellow.
Another yellow for Torino as Moretti came in late through Politano.
35'
An Inter shot from distance is deflected behind for a corner. Can they cook up a little set piece magic again?

A yellow card is shown to Meïté.
32'
S. de Vrij has scored a goal for Inter Milan! Assist by M. Politano.

30'
Brozovic attempts a long ball himself, and connects with Politano who chops a backheel to Vrsaljko in the box... and his cross is put behind for a corner. That was a fantastic move!
27'
A long ball is launched in the direction of Belotti, but it's not hit strongly enough and is headed away to safety by de Vrij.
25'
Can Torino turn things around tonight or will they suffer their second consecutive loss to start this new season?
22'
O. Aina enters the game and replaces C. Ansaldi.
Ansaldi does indeed have to depart with his leg injury as Chelsea loanee Ola Aina takes his place.
21'
Ansaldi has just made his way off the pitch after the foul. He was assisted by two trainers which is not promising for his chances at returning.
19'
At the other end of the pitch, Ansaldi shows off his strength, muscling off a pair of challenges, before a third is called as a foul. Good free-kick opoortunity here for Torino!
18'
A lovely one-two is played by Vecino and Icardi to get into a dangerous position, but the latter passes out wide and the cross finds no one.
15'
Icardi gets into the box and redirects a header back towards Perisic who attempts a diving header... he just can't generate anything with it. Decent half chance that.
14'
Inter re-establish possesion here as they clamly pass the ball around within Torino's half.
12'
Falque pulls out the skills to get past two Inter defenders on the right side, he drifts inside, lays the ball off... but the following pass is too heavy and is collected by Handanovic. That was the first real attacking intent shown by Torino thus far.
9'
Now Persic streaks down the left flank, cuts inside into the box... and loses possession. Probably should have passed it at some point.
6'
I. Perišić has scored a goal for Inter Milan! Assist by M. Icardi.
Icardi found space on the right wing near the corner flag and cut a low ball towards Perisic in the box, who finished the chance well!

5'
A ball is played into Icardi from the left wing, it's low and hard, but Sirigu beats the striker to the ball.
4'
Slow going at the start here as both sides exhibit some sloppy passing.
1'
Referee Paolo Silva Mazzoleni's whistle sounds and we're underway!
Hello, and welcome to our live coverage of this Serie A clash between Inter and Torino!
Now lets take a look at how each side will line up today!
Inter (4-4-2): Samir Handanovic; Sime Vrsaljko, Stefan de Vrij, Milan Skriniar, Danilo D'Ambrosio; Matteo Politano, Matias Vecino, Marcelo Brozovic, Kwadwo Asamoah; Mauro Icardi, Ivan Perisic.
Torino (3-5-2): Salvatore Sirigu; Armando Izzo, Nicolas N'Koulou, Emiliano Moretti; Lorenzo De Silvestri, Roberto Soriano, Tomas Rincon, Souahilo Meite, Cristian Ansaldi; Andrea Belotti, Iago Falque.
We may not be in for a high scoring affair as neither side managed to find the net in their first match of the season. Let's hope otherwise though!
The teams are lined up in the tunnel, so we're not far off from kick off now!
Will either side pick up their first win of the season today? Let's find out!
Inter fans will need to wait to see new signing Radja Nainggolan's first start as he's been named on the bench today.
Torino, on the other hand, have largely been passengers in this match. They set up with an over-loaded midfield, but are still getting beat centrally by Brozovic and Vecino. Falque and Belotti have each had a positive moment, but they'll need far more service if they are to make a counting impact on this match. If they can manage to score the next goal they could at least make things interesting in the second half.
Inter have certainly had the better of play thus far as they lead their opponents in shots, crosses, duels won and, of course, goals. Perisic and Icardi are occupying the back line well which is giving Vecino plenty of space to direct play and will likely come to something sooner rather than later. The pairing of de Vrij and Skriniar looks solid and could well become one of the most formidable centre half combinations in Serie A.
On the other hand, Torino will be delighted by their performance in the second half! After being nearly played off the pitch in the first half, they returned the favour in the second. The midfield performed much better and created plenty of chances for Belotti in particular. They could cause genuine problems for opponents this season if they can keep him and Falque involved more consistently during matches.
Inter will surely be disappointed by the result after their early dominance. They really failed to sustain much possession at all in the second half which allowed Torino the ability to get back into the game and eventually equalise. Spalleti will need to make sure his side does not lose focus this easily if they want to secure a Champions League spot come the end of the year.
That wil do it for our coverage of the Inter v Torino match! We hope you enjoyed and will join us again soon!
