Inter can't create much from the corner but Bologna don't fully clear. Esposito passes to Vecino who fires high and wide from distance. Bologna will be very grateful for that.
90' +1
D. D'Ambrosio gets yellow.
D'Ambrosio is booked for a foul on Svanberg. There will be six - six! - added minutes to the end of the game. Still time for another goal.
90'
This game is coming to a breathless finish as Inter push forward and Bologna counter! Juwara forces another save from Handanovic, low to his right. If Inter get anything from this game now, they'll have him to thank.
89'
Sanchez misses a golden opportunity to equalise for Inter! D'Ambrosio fires a low cross across the box and Sanchez only has to get it on target but the Chilean somehow drags it wide! It looked easier to score there.
88'
Borja Valero enters the game and replaces M. Brozović.
A. Baldursson enters the game and replaces N. Domínguez.
M. Vecino enters the game and replaces R. Gagliardini.

Young is next to leave the pitch. Biraghi comes on for him.
84'
Inter do not look happy. Sanchez passes inside to find Martinez in the box. Martinez has a pop at goal but it's just wide to the right.
82'
Suddenly Inter are having to chase the game. Sanchez has a slightly desperate attempt at goal from distance and it bounces wide of Bologna's goal.
Minute
Description
80'
M. Barrow has scored a goal for Bologna! Assist by N. Domínguez.
That assist from Dominguez was a thing of beauty. Inter have totally switched off in the last 10 minutes.
GOAL! 2-1 BOLOGNA! Bologna might have stolen the win! The visitors catch Inter cold and Dominguez finds the arriving Barrow with a sumptuous aerial throughball. Barrow makes no mistake, slotting home from the left of the box!
79'
M. Juwara gets yellow.
Juwara is next to see yellow for a foul on Sanchez. The Gambian's certainly made an impact since he came on.
78'
R. Palacio gets yellow.
Inter just about resist Bologna's free-kick. Palacio is booked for preventing Inter from countering. This is shaping up to be a tasty last 10 minutes.
77'
A. Bastoni gets a second yellow card and is sent off.
RED CARD FOR BASTONI! Bastoni receives his second yellow card for clipping Juwara as the winger knocked the ball past him. It's 10 versus 10! This is getting feisty now.
76'
Brozovic misses an opportunity to give Inter the lead again straight away. The Croatian gets on the end of Young's cross in the box but can only skid his effort wide of the post.
75'
A. Sánchez enters the game and replaces C. Eriksen.
Inter respond immediately to Bologna's goal. Sanchez replaces Eriksen.
74'
M. Juwara has scored a goal for Bologna!
GOAL! 1-1 BOLOGNA! Bologna deserve this for all their hard work. Inter fail to clear the corner and Juwara hits a scorcher from the centre of the box. Handanovic can't keep it out and it hits the back of the net!
72'
Barrow's corner hits the first man and goes out for another. Bologna again ask for a penalty but it's not happening. Barrow tries again with the exact same result.
71'
De Vrij concedes a foul in the centre of the park. Gagliardini heads the free-kick out for a Bologna corner, their first of the half.
69'
It's time for the second cooling break of the game. Bologna get the opportunity to organise themselves after a breathless ten minutes. They can still get something from this game if they play their cards right.
67'
Inter win yet another corner which is conceded by Juwara. Eriksen takes it but it's no threat to Bologna.
65'
M. Bani enters the game and replaces T. Tomiyasu.
R. Palacio enters the game and replaces R. Orsolini.
M. Juwara enters the game and replaces N. Sansone.
Orsolini also goes off after tormenting Inter for a brief spell earlier. Palacio comes on in place for him.
Bologna decide to make some changes. First, Tomiyasu is replaced by the centre-back Bani.
Sansone, who faded after his early effort, is replaced by the Gambian winger Juwara.
63'
Inter get their eighth corner of the game as Danilo knocks a Candreva cross out of play. Bologna get it away. It's been confirmed that Soriano's red card was for foul and abusive language. That was so, so avoidable.
62'
Penalty saved by Ł. Skorupski!
SKORUPSKI SAVES THE PENALTY! Bologna's keeper dives the right way to keep Martinez's shot out, and denies Gagliardini on the follow-up at point blank range! Bologna survive for now.
That was a poor penalty by Martínez who blasted it towards the bottom left corner. Skorupski was equal to it and Inter's lead is still just the one goal. Bologna will undoubtedly be weaker after Soriano's sending off though.
58'
That didn't look like a red card, or even a yellow. You can only think the referee has sent Soriano off for something he said when the foul was given. Will this give Inter the advantage again?
57'
R. Soriano goes off after a red card!
RED CARD FOR SORIANO! What's this? Soriano dribbles towards Inter's box but his touch lets him down and he catches Gagliardini. The referee gives him his marching orders and Bologna are down to ten men! That looks incredibly harsh.
56'
On second viewing, Handanovic dove the right way for that Barrow strike but it could have easily crept past him. Inter are fortunate to still be in the lead.
54'
The action isn't letting up at the moment. Eriksen sets Martinez free down the left-hand channel and the Argentine has pace to burn. Skorupski comes out to close the angle and Martinez can't get the ball past him at the near post. He thumps the ground in frustration. Inter get a corner which Bologna clear.
51'
A Bologna attack breaks down and Bastoni and Schouten tussle near the touchline with the Dutchman winning out. Seconds later, Tomiyasu sticks a foot out to prevent a throughball from reaching Lukaku. Skorupski clears.
50'
Bologna are ferociously pressing Inter whenever the home side's centre-backs are in possession. Tomiyasu takes it a bit far as he clatters into the back of Young, giving away a free-kick.
49'
Eriksen's corner doesn't beat the first man. There's an exciting pace to the start of this half, just where the first half left off.
46'
Gagliardini carries the ball forward from midfield, looking for his teammates further forward. The midfielder decides to pass inside but no one in black and blue is there and Bologna promptly get it away.
45' +2
HALF-TIME: INTER 1-0 BOLOGNA
Eriksen hauls down Dominguez as the Argentine nips in to steal possession from the Dane. That'll be that for now.
45'
Handanovic plays with fire as he ventures out of his box to deal with a forward pass from Danilo with Barrow lurking. Thankfully for Inter's captain, he finds Bastoni before getting rid at the second time of asking. There'll be two added minutes here.
The second half gets underway. Neither side elects to make a change at half-time.
44'
Inter work the ball down their right flank, winning a throw-in, but Gagliardini is caught offside from Candreva's delivery.
43'
Orsolini nearly takes down a booming crossfield pass from Denswil but his touch gives Young just a bit too much of the ball. Bologna have got a foothold in the game now.
41'
A. Bastoni gets yellow.
Bastoni gets Inter's first yellow card of the game for a cynical foul as Bologna try to counter.
40'
Inter get a free-kick as Dominguez fouls Lukaku near the halfway line. It's lofted forward to Martinez but is seen off by Danilo.
38'
Bologna have upped the pressure for the moment. Orsolini twists this way and that in the box to force Handanovic to save his cross-cum-shot at the near post. Inter deal with the corner and soon end up conceding another, which they also handle.
36'
Orsolini knocks an effort into the side netting from Barrow's corner. Bologna aren't creating many chances but they look threatening when they do.
30'
Inter look sharp here. This time Young fires a forward pass towards Lukaku that Dijks blocks but can't clear. D'Ambrosio latches onto the rebound but his cross can't find another Inter player.
26'
The players head off the pitch for a brief cooling break. Mihajlovic takes the opportunity to motivate his players who haven't been so bad so far.
24'
Bologna rally after conceding, winning two corners in a row. Inter deal well with them both, although Bologna cry for a penalty as Brozovic gets rid of the first. No such luck.
22'
R. Lukaku has scored a goal for Inter Milan!
GOAL! 1-0 INTER! Lukaku won't be denied. Young fires in a fantastic cross from the left. Martinez's glancing header rebounds off the far post and Lukaku is there to poke it in. They all count!
20'
Sansone is fouled by D'Ambrosio and wins a free-kick. This hasn't been the most freeflowing match so far but it's entertaining enough.
19'
Candreva fires in a dangerous cross from the right that Lukaku rushes to meet at the near post. Bologna's captain Danilo does enough to put the Belgian off and puts the ball out for an Inter corner, which Bologna soon clear.
17'
Bologna create a few decent opportunities. Barrow feeds Sansone down the left and the winger cuts inside on his favoured right foot. His shot loops up into the arms of Handanovic. Barrow shoots wide from outside the box shortly after.
15'
Danilo gets yellow.
The referee signals he won't put up with Bologna's fouls. Danilo gets booked for chopping down Martinez.
14'
Inter get their third corner of the game. They're finding plenty of joy down the flanks. This time Eriksen's delivery reaches the far post but it ends up in a Bologna goal-kick.
12'
Again, Inter's corner isn't great. The flag goes up against Lukaku shortly after the Belgian fires into the net due to a hint of handball.
10'
Lukaku holds up the ball well and Inter set off upfield. Bologna get some respite as Brozovic backs into Soriano on the edge of the visitors' box, giving away a free-kick.
9'
Inter win their first corner of the game down their right off Dijks. Eriksen finds Martinez in the box but his header is well wide.
7'
Bologna have started this game aggressively, trying to disrupt Inter's play. Denswil gives away a foul as he catches Martinez in the face. It's clumsy rather than malicious and the referee gives the visitors their first warning.
5'
Contrary to pre-match reports, Bologna look to be playing a 4-2-3-1 with Soriano behind Barrow up front. Inter win a free-kick as Sansone bumps into D'Ambrosio.
3'
Inter start this game positively. Candreva looks to chase onto a ball down the right but it bounces harmlessly out of the wing-back's reach. Bologna throw-in.
1'
And we're off here in Milan!
Hello! Welcome to our live text commentary of this Serie A match between Inter and Bologna at San Siro, Milan.
Inter still have faint hopes of catching Juventus in the Serie A title race. Antonio Conte's team thrashed Brescia 6-0 last time out, and with Lazio losing 3-0 to Milan earlier this weekend, they have the chance to pull themselves back within a point of second place with a win here.
Inter's visitors today are mid-table Bologna who look neither European contenders nor relegation battlers. Sinisa Mihajlovic's men don't seem to have a great deal to play for but that could give them a freedom that could make them dangerous.
INTER (3-4-1-2): Samir Handanovic (c); Danilo D'Ambrosio, Stefan de Vrij, Alessandro Bastoni; Antonio Candreva, Marcelo Brozovic, Roberto Gagliardini, Ashley Young; Christian Eriksen; Romelu Lukaku, Lautaro Martinez.
SUBS: Kwadwo Asamoah, Lucien Agoume, Daniele Padelli, Sebastiano Esposito, Alexis Sanchez, Tommaso Berni, Diego Godin, Borja Valero, Cristiano Biraghi, Andrea Ranocchia, Matias Vecino, Lorenzo Pirola.
SUBS: Gabriele Corbo, Rodrigo Palacio, Gianmarco Cangiano, Andri Fannar Baldursson, Mattia Bani, Angelo da Costa, Mouhamadou Sarr, Federico Bonini, Ladislav Krejci, Musa Juwara, Mattias Svanberg.
The two sides are out on the San Siro pitch. Inter are in their iconic black and blue home kit while Bologna will play in their all-white away kit with its fetching red and blue sash.
Inter have the chance to make amends as they head to Verona in their next match. Bologna could rise further up the table as they host Sassuolo. After their surprise victory today, anything could happen. That's all for now. Goodbye!
