Inter go for a record seventh consecutive Milan Derby victory at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT), with Paulo Fonseca already hanging by a thread.
Kyriakopoulos cross whipped in for the head of Djuric, Ravaglia punches it off his head. Carboni then booked for taking down Ndoye on the counter.
Bologna corner comes to nothing, an easy take in the end.
Very good spell of play from Monza, Bianco on his first start for the club curls right-footed inches past the far post!
On that corner, Pedro Pereira is totally and utterly unmarked at the back post, he tries to nod it into the ground and Ravaglia flies to fingertip the bouncing ball over the bar!
Bianco pulls back from the by-line and wins a corner for Monza.
Bologna win it back in the final third, Ndoye angled drive straight at the goalkeeper at the near post.
Good start from Monza as Daniel Maldini sparks a counter, cross deflected just past the head of Milan Djuric.

Albert Gudmundsson could not have asked for a better debut – came on at half-time, converted two penalties for Fiorentina‘s first win of the season.
Gosens cross floated in from the left, Kean header is just over the bar.

Dodo booked.
Into 5 minutes of stoppages.
Never in doubt. This time took it centrally into the roof of the net.
Gudmundsson has already grabbed the ball… Kean is asking for it, Gudmundsson not even considering handing it over.
Nuno Tavares goes in late on Dodo, who was pulling back from the by-line, and trod on his foot. More importantly, it was ON the line and the line counts as part of the penalty area…
Penalty and yellow card!
Nuno Tavares is in trouble.
On the resulting corner, Guendouzi’s looping header seems to surprise everyone and bounces off the underside of the crossbar! It was less a header, more a… necker? He did it with the nape of his neck!
Pedro lays it off for the Guendouzi scorcher from the edge of the box, De Gea seems to see it late and gets a glove to it!
Oh dear. Fiorentina rapid counter, Ikone and Kouame combine, but the return pass is so poor…
