Description

73'
There is still plenty of time left on the clock for either team to score a winning goal, but it is the visitors who look the most likely right now.
71'
It's all Inter at the moment, they are keeping the ball well and they have increased the tempo, with Verona having to sit deep and soak up the pressure.

GOAL! Inter equalise just after the break, it’s 1-0! Martinez heads them level from just a few yards out.

45'
There will be a minimum of one minute added time played at the end of the first half.
44'
Perisic with a cross in from the left wing, which is met by Martinez, but his header is well blocked and the hosts clear the danger. It looks like they'll hold on until the break.
41'
There isn’t long left to play before the end of the first half, can Inter get an equaliser before the half-time whistle?
35'
Inter are having to drop into a five-man defence at times, as Verona are pushing really high up the pitch and forcing them back. So the wing-backs can't get forward and create anything in attack. The home side will be very pleased with their performance so far.
33'
Perisic has hardly been involved down the left wing for Inter so far today, the winger hasn't seen much of the ball or created anything for a team-mate.
31'
Almost! Cancellieri breaks forward following an Inter corner and sprints almost the full length of the field, but he doesn't have any support from team-mates and the Inter defence manage to crowd him out and clear the danger.
30'
We’re at the half an hour mark now and it remains Verona who lead 1-0 over Inter, thanks to an early strike from Ilic.
28'
G. Magnani gets yellow.
The first yellow card of the game is shown to Magnani, after he dives into the back of Dzeko and sends the striker flying. Poor challenge.
27'
Martinez and Dzeko have gone quiet for Inter, they haven't been involved much since Verona opened the scoring and the visitors are struggling to get going at the moment.
21'
Verona have been much better since going a goal ahead, they look full of confidence and are seeing more of the ball. Lazovic wins their first corner of the game, but it is well cleared by the Inter defence.
19'
That goal has certainly given the home fans something to shout about, the atmosphere is electric inside the stadium now. Can Inter respond quickly?
17'
Handanovic was under no pressure for the goal, they were just trying to play it out from the back and the keeper made a sloppy pass into his team-mate, which has been punished.
15'
I. Ilić has scored a goal for Verona!
GOAL! Verona take the lead against the run of play, it’s 1-0! Handanovic plays a really poor pass out from the back looking for Brozovic and Ilic was lurking nearby and he pinches it off the midfielder, before racing into the box and only having the keeper to beat. He kept his composure and chipped it over Handanovic and into the back of the net.
14'
It only seems like a matter of time before Inter open the scoring at the moment, they are well on top and have started to look more dangerous in the final third.
9'
Dzeko is dropping deep to try and get on the ball, to link up play, while Martinez is doing a lot of the running up front for Inter. The Verona players just can't get close enough to them.
7'
It looks like Verona are going to try and break forward quickly on the counter when they can, playing long balls over the top to try and catch the Inter defence out. Cancellieri just tried to get on the end of one, but Handanovic read it well and gathered.
5'
The hosts have hardly touched the ball so far in the opening few minutes of the game, they have everyone back behind the ball soaking it up at the moment.
3'
Inter with the early possession here, they are keeping the ball well in the Verona half of the pitch and win their first corner of the game after a cross from the right is blocked by Ceccherini. However, the hosts clear the danger.
