Welcome to live text commentary of Internazionale's Serie A clash with Fiorentina at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza with Leonardo's side looking to consolidate second place in the table.

GOAL!!!!! PAZZINI PUTS INTER IN FRONT! The forward swivels sharply and powers a clinical finish beyond the helpless Boruc after fine wing play from Eto'o at the left byline!

The Fiorentina wall stands firm to repel Eto'o, who crashes his low shot against it.

Eto'o is hauled down on the edge of the Fiorentina box as he skips nonchalantly past Natali, and this could be very dangerous...

Pazzini draws a fine parried save out of Boruc, who is forced to dive low to his right to deny the Inter forward!

Eto'o wins a free kick outwide on the left after fine play and Gamberini is the culprit.

The first real opportunity falls to Materazzi, who rises imperiously inside the Fiortentina box to meet Coutinho's dinked delivery from the left, but he heads just wide of the near post!

Ranocchia fouls Vargas as Fiorentina look to stretch Inter at the back, and they have a free kick 25 yards out.

Maicon is furious as Vargas brings him down, by Inter have a chance to keep the ball now.

Behrami is seeing a lot of the ball out on the right wing for Fiorentina, and Inter have to get tighter to the midfielder.

Eto'o hauls down De Silvestri with a clumsy challenge, and Fiorentina have a chance to clear.

Chivu lumps a long ball upfield towards Pazzini, but Pasqual intervenes with a sturdy challenge.
