Inter have everyone forward now but they can't fashion a final opportunity. Udinese have packed the box and are denying space in the wide areas well.
90'
Inter try to break but somehow, a ball out to the right curls and ends up out of play at the touchline. Frustration is setting in for the visitors.
88'
MISS! Yet another speculative effort. Nainggolan lashes a wayward strike wide of goal as a corner comes out to him.
83'
Handanovic receives a back-pass under some pressure and tries to dribble off his line before passing it out into the full-back position. That could all have gone very wrong.
81'
B. Wilmot enters the game and replaces M. D'Alessandro.
D'Alessandro now comes off for 19-year-old Watford loanee Wilmot.
79'
K. Baldé enters the game and replaces L. Martínez.
Martinez is now replaced by Keita, who will support lone striker Icardi up front.
78'
Musso catches De Maio in the face as he comes to punch a high ball into the box, and there's a little break in play as the defender receives treatment.
77'
A. Candreva enters the game and replaces M. Politano.
Politano is now replaced by Candreva on the right wing as Luciano Spalletti looks to freshen up his struggling attack.
75'
BLOCK! Perisic is set away down the left and pulls the ball back from the byline, but Martinez's attempts are both blocked. Politano then feeds D'Ambrosio down the right, but the full-back's low cross is easily held byMusso.

Description
73'
E. Hallfreðsson enters the game and replaces Sandro.
Hallfredsson replaces Sandro in midfield for the remainder of the game.
72'
CHANCE! The ball is fizzed in low from the left and Icardi's neat touch flicks the ball through for Martinez, but a defender gets there ahead of him and the substitute takes a kick for his efforts, although no foul is awarded!
70'
Asamoah drives dangerously down the left and is bundled over on the edge of the box on the left. The free-kick is in a dangerous position but comes to nothing.
68'
Inter have settled back into their possession game, dominating the ball and working Udinese from side to side, but despite the introduction of Icardi, they're still not creating enough in the final third.
66'
M. Brozović gets yellow.
Brozovic catches De Paul on the back of the calf and rightly picks up a booking. That was a clumsy challenge.
63'
M. Icardi enters the game and replaces Borja Valero.
Valero comes off for star striker Icardi, who will join international compatriot Martinez up front in what is now a 4-4-2.
61'
S. Okaka enters the game and replaces I. Pussetto.
Pussetto comes off to be replaced by Okaka, who will offer more direct support to Lasagna up front.
58'
Sandro, already on a booking, gives away a free-kick for a foul on Nainggolan. He needs to be careful.
55'
MISS! Nainggolan wins the ball well and bursts upfield before hitting a woeful effort high and wide of the target. Inter are really missing a cutting edge in the final third.
54'
BLOCK! De Paul is the latest to try a speculative long-range effort and see his shot come back off a defender. Both sides look a little bereft of ideas in the final third.
52'
SAVE! De Maio gets free at the far post and heads at goal but it's tame and from a tight angle, allowing Handanovic to hold on comfortably.
49'
BLOCK! Martinez tries to force the ball home inside the box after Politano worked it to him but it's blocked away!
46'
We're back underway for the second half!
45' +2
HALF-TIME: UDINESE 0-0 INTER
42'
Asamoah has been impressive on the ball in this first half and he beats his man again with a neat turn and a burst of pace before playing the ball efficiently into midfield.
40'
Borja Valero gets yellow.
Valero slides in late and catches D'Alessandro, earning the Spaniard a yellow card.
39'
MISS! Politano tries an ambitious strike from outside the box and gets it all wrong, blazing high and wide.
36'
As Udinese look to build an attack, Sandro bizarrely lumps the ball straight over the bar and out of play from some distance out. Whether it was a pass or a shot, it was terrible.
35'
Udinese are growing into the game and have won a number of set-pieces in the Inter half, keeping the ball in the attacking third for a sustained period.
31'
The ball is played into Pussetto right on the edge of the box and De Vrij steps out to intercept but ends up giving a free-kick away right on the edge of the box.
29'
MISS! Inter defend a set-piece situation and break quickly through Nainggolan, who drives upfield before eventually lashing a speculative shot over the bar.
27'
Udinese get their foot on the ball and take the opportunity to keep it in a safe area for a while, playing it round the back before eventually lumping it forward and losing possession.
25'
Inter win a free-kick in their own half and continue to stroke it around. They're completely dominant in possession so far, with Udinese happy to sit off and trust their five-man defensive line off the ball.
23'
Brave goalkeeping from Musso to dive for the ball after a loose ball rolled out of the crowd following an Inter corner. The visitors are ramping up the pressure now.
21'
Asamoah shows both strength and clever feet as he battles to keep hold of the ball, before being dumped on the turf by D'Alessandro and winning a free-kick.
19'
BLOCK! Mandragora hits a speculative effort from outside the box that is blocked comfortably away.
17'
Inter are pushing and probing but Udinese are organised and stand their ground well. Not a lot of joy in the final third for the Nerazzurri as yet.
15'
D. D'Ambrosio gets yellow.
D'Ambrosio takes a heavy touch and, in trying to retrieve the ball, catches Sandro with his studs raised. He's lucky to see yellow, rather than red.
13'
Sandro gets yellow.
Sandro clatters into the back of Brozovic and rightly picks up a yellow card. Poor challenge from the midfielder.
9'
Lovely skill from Asamoah as he nutmegs his marker on the flank. Embarrassing moment for D'Alessandro.
5'
Plenty of possession without a great deal of penetration for the visitors so far, with the hosts packing men behind the ball and sitting in their own half.
3'
Inter are dominating the ball in the early stages of the game and popping it around nicely.
1'
We're off for the start of the game!
