Inter 1-1 Torino

Torino held Inter to a 1-1 draw at the San Siro

Bianchi

INTER

Julio Cesar- 6.0: Almost committed a poor give-away at the beginning of the match. However, he was solid throughout the rest of the game.

Maicon- 6.5:
Made some fine runs down the right and cut out a counter-attack by Torino near the end of the match. However, he drifted out of action at times.

Burdisso- 7.5
: Impeccable in defense and also scored a goal with a fine header. Almost had a brace, but was robbed by Sereni.

Cordoba- 6.0:
Not a bad performance, but he was left flat-footed at Torino's goal.

Santon- 6.5:
The youngster is growing in confidence, doing a good job in defence and attack. However, Abate was all alone on his side to put in the cross that lead to Torino's goal.

Zanetti- 6.5:
Captain Zanetti had a solid match once again, consistent as ever.

Cambiasso- 7.0: Always positioned well to snuff out Torino attacks and available to his teammates for a pass.

Maxwell- 6.0: Played in a new role in midfield, the Brazilian did a decent job. However, he was replaced at half-time.

Stankovic- 6.0: Not as influential as he has been in recent matches, but did have some nice link-up play with the strikers on occasion. Had to be substituted due to injury in the first half.

Ibrahimovic- 6.5: Often double teamed in the first half, his impact grew in the second, as he was able to hold-up the ball and also had a shot that fizzed just wide.

Cruz- 6.5: Although wasteful in possession at times, he was always looking for a goal and was just off the mark on all the opportunities that came his way. His first-half header was goal-bound, but he was denied by Sereni.

Substitutes

Figo- 6.5:
An assist on Burdisso's goal, the Portuguese veteran was deadly from set-pieces.

Quaresma- 4.0:
Did nothing to prove to anyone he deserves a spot in the team. Constantly dribbled into trouble and also missed a great chance with a minute left.

Crespo- 6.0:
He put in plenty of effort, and almost scored with a predator like goal, but overall he did nothing to warrant a starting berth in the future.

TORINO

Sereni- 7.5:
The goalkeeper made three great saves today, but also was at fault for some of Inter's opportunities, including the equalizer. He salvaged a draw for his side.

Rivalta- 5.5:
Was replaced by Colombo in the first half.

Di Loreto- 6.5: He marshalled a well-organized back line, especially in the first half.

Dellafiore- 6.0:
Did well overall, but began to wilt under Inter's late pressure.

Ogbonna- 7.0:
An energetic performance, contributing in both attack and defense to help his team gain a point.

Abate- 7.5:
Provided a fine assist for Bianchi's goal and was only replaced because of fatigue from all the running he did.

Dzemaili- 6.5:  Able to settle play in the midfield and tried his luck from distance on a few occasions.

Zanetti- 6.0:
No relation to his opponent, Paolo recovered in time for the match and put in a good shift for Walter Novellino.

Diana- 5.5: Playing down the left flank, he was invisible for long portions of the match.

Rosina- 7.0: Incisive and great play, he constantly relieved pressure by getting the ball up the pitch through dribbling or a fine pass.

Bianchi- 6.5: Was deprived of service for most of the match, but did well to open the scoring and head past Julio Cesar.

Substitutes

Colombo- 6.0, Stellone- 5.5, Rubin- N/A
