90+4' The final whistle goes at the Stadio Olimpico, and Lazio have won this match 1-0 courtesy of Miroslav Klose's 82nd-minute strike! It's a tough blow to take for Inter, who show their displeasure with the officials at the end. The home fans are delighted, and Lazio are now just a point behind their visitors in the Serie A table. Thanks for joining us.- 90+3' A sublime piece of skill from Cassano outwide sees him take the ball down the left and find Guarin, but his overhead kick is mistimed and Lazio clear once more.
- 90+2' It's frantic stuff now with Inter pressing forward in their droves and Lazio hanging on with every player behind the ball.
90+1' Candreva is shown the yellow card for a foul on Palacio, and Inter have another free kick.- 90' There will be four added minutes at the end of this second half with Inter pushing desperately for an equaliser.
- 89' Palacio wins a free kick with a neat turn as Ciani dives in, only for the free kick to be wasted by Guarin.
87' Andre Dias replaces Hernanes now, and Lazio have made all three changes.- 86' Philippe Coutinho replaces Pereira, who had to come off at this stage of the game.
- 85' Hernanes is about to be withdrawn as he is moving very gingerly now, and Lazio are clinging on to their slender lead.
- 83' Klose is almost immediately taken off as Sergio Floccari comes on in his place.
82' GOAL! Finally, the deadlock is broken as Klose races through on goal and slides a clinical finish beyond Handanovic! It was Mauri with the incisive defence-splitting pass, and Lazio take a late lead in this match!- 81' Biava wins a free kick for Lazio as Pereira concedes the set piece, and one moment of inspiration could win this match.
79' Klose goes down very easily inside the Inter box after chasing down a loose ball with Samuel, and the referee is not impressed with the German! The forward wanted a penalty but does not get one.- 77' Candreva and Mauri combine once more, but this time the substitute draws a solid save from Handanovic.

- 66' Abdoulay Konko is booked for a poor foul on Gargano, and it was mistimed and reckless.

- 51' Samuel is shown the yellow card for a poor foul on Klose, who had the beating of the defender on the outside - it was a cynical trip.

- 45' Gargano is shown the yellow card for another niggly foul, and this time it is on Konko as Lazio have another set piece.
- 43' Gargano fouls Hernanes, and that just about sums up the first half as a set piece breaks up the play.
