Inter emerge with 3 points despite losing Acerbi and Calhanoglu to injury, as Lautaro Martinez struck on the counter.
Soule’ snapshot was on target, Sommer had to get down and parry that!
Odd. Roma free kick, everyone waiting for the cross, instead they take it short and Baldanzi shot charged down. Le Fee then fouls Dimarco.
Another Dumfries counter-attack, Thuram has made the run too, but Barella gets greedy and fires over. Everyone shouts at him.
Roma keeping it for long periods, but not doing much with it. We go into 4 minutes of stoppages.
Dumfries again tries to double Inter’s lead, but again he is denied by an alert Svilar at the near post.
Soule’ dribbles to the by-line, but there’s no more room, he can only pull it back into the arms of Sommer.
Le Fee, Soule’ and Hermoso on for Roma.
Dybala, Cristante and Angelino off.
Thuram squirms through a crowd of players and Svilar bravely rushes out to smother at his feet.
Correa goes down in a heap trying to waste time, referee not falling for it and books him.
Denzel Dumfries bursts down the right, ferocious low angled drive, Svilar gets down and with his right hand manages to push it past the far post for a corner!
There's no stopping that 😮💨

Dumfries, Correa and Bisseck on for Inter
Lautaro Martinez, Bastoni and Darmian off.
Roma also make a change, Baldanzi on for Zalewski.
On the resulting corner, Dovbyk header is wide!
Free kick not cleared very well, Dybala smashes it on the half-volley, Pavard throws himself in the way to deflect it over!
Zalewski squirms away from Darmian near the corner flag and is brought down, inevitable yellow card. He couldn’t let him go any farther.
Ref has to apologise for accidentally getting in the way of the ball, managing to irritate both Roma and Inter.
Thuram springs the offside trap from Frattesi’s through ball and dinks the pass over Svilar for Dimarco at the back post, but Celik makes up for the earlier error by sliding in for the decisive block!
Pisilli booked for Roma.
End to end!
Sommer punches away the corner, Zalewski stumbles on the ball, Frattesi goes off on the counter, rolls it across for Lautaro Martinez on the edge of the area. Celik had been able to intercept it, but BADLY, setting it up for Lautaro to fire in!
Dybala had also sprinted back to help out, but again didn’t do enough!
It’s still wide open, Thuram burst down the right and cross is cleared, then Roma do the same with Zalewski and win a corner.
Mancini cross to the back post, but it is beyond Zalewski. Another cross comes in from the left for Celik, but the header is charged down by… Dovbyk.
Kone off, Pisilli on for Roma.
