Considering they're down to 10 men, Carpi are enjoying spells with the ball but aren't using it very productively. Inter are happy to sit back and soak up pressure in the final minutes.

S. Jovetić gets yellow.

81'

If Carpi do score in this game, it's likely it'll come from Mbakogu as the striker is looking dangerous due to his hard-working nature which is causing issues at the back for Inter.

Inter get the match underway!
Hello and welcome to the live text commentary for this Serie A clash between Inter and Carpi. We'll be guiding you through all the action as it happens at the San Siro this afternoon.
Inter are looking to rectify their recent poor record at home this afternoon when Carpi come to visit. Having lost their last two league matches at home, Roberto Mancini's side are seeking to use the momentum gained from their victory against Napoli against the relegation threatened Biancorossi.
CONFIRMED TEAM NEWS
Residing in 18th position, Carpi may seem like easy opposition for Inter this evening. However, having taken seven points from their last nine it's fair to say Fabrizio Castori's team will not be easy pickings despite having one of the worst defensive records in the league.
Subs: Brkic, Sabelli, Ryder Matos, Di Gaudio, Lasagna, Lollo, Daprela.
Both managers decide to go for a host of changes from their previous match, however two of which have been forced upon Castori due to the suspension of Cofie and Gagliolo. Mancini has opted for six alterations from the team which defeated Napoli, displaying a different foward line in Palacio and Icardi among others.
Just five minutes until kick-off! The fans are in their seats, the players are in the tunnel and the atmosphere is building. Not long now.
Half-time and Inter lead going into the break. The only complaint Mancini can have with his side is they haven't scored more. Carpi have a lot to do if they wish to get back into this match.
Lasagna's goal is the last of the significant action at the San Siro and Carpi rescue a point. Mancini will be furious with his side's inability to see out this match but credit must go with the visitors for continuing to fight.
That's all from us for today's action. Thanks for joining us throughout this Serie A clash between Inter and Carpi and it's goodbye for now!
