These 2 teams today will be fighting for their lives to win the match. Internazionale’s manager makes 3 changes to the side that triumphed in the Supercoppa Italiana. Marco Materazzi comes into the defence in place of Walter Samuel. Cristian Chivu replaces Maxwell at left back, while Diego Milito, Inter’s new signing, will start up front today.

Internazionale got off to a cracker of a start, with Dejan Stankovic scoring after only 4 minutes. Iván Cordoba set Zanetti off down the wing, he was showing some exceptional pace to beat Kolarov, Zanetti would then whip the ball into Stankovic who slid the ball into the back of the net. The strike ment Inter were off to a flyer, while Lazio now had it all to do.

Once again, Julio Cesar was displaying some fine form in the Internazionale net. Kolarov swung in a free kick, Ledesma was in position and would volley the ball from 12 yards, but Julio Cesar made a magnificent diving save to stop the ball going past him, only for Mauro Zarate to get into the box to tap home the rebound. It was harsh on Inter, who were playing well, but Lazio’s attack was well worked and they deserved their goal.

In the 32nd minute, Lazio’s Kolarov found himself giving away a silly penalty. Stankovic lofted a beautiful cross for Zanetti, who had earlier assisted Stankovic, he ran into the corner of the Lazio box where he would be taken down by the Lazio defender and the referee was eager to award a spot kick. Joao Moutinho smashed the ball down into the corner to put Internazionale 2-1 up. The goal also marked the player scoring his first goal for his new club.

Towards the end of the first 45 minutes, Internazionale began to dominate the game. Winger Mancini would come close in the 40th, as he saw the Lazio goalkeeper off his line and attempted a 35 yarder, which went well off target to the disappointment of the Inter faithful. Next, Javier Zanetti had a shot cleared off the line after the goalkeeper was well beaten. Ledesma was there to clear the ball.

David Suazo doubled Internazionale’s lead just after the break, when, in the 46th minute, he was set through on goal thanks to a defence-splitting pass from Joao Moutinho. Suazo used his pace to outsprint the defenders and hammered the ball into the top corner.to seal his second goal in as many games this season. It was the best goal of the afternoon, and one that ensured there was no way back for the visiting team.

Mauri had a chance to lower the deposit for Lazio later in the second half, but he wasted a good opportunity by hitting his shot over the bar. Zarate was performing admirably for his team. The forward dribbled past 5 Internazionale players before releasing a shot, only for Zarate’s effort to be saved easily by Julio Cesar.

In the 70th minute Dejan Stankovic came close to doubling his goals tally, when, after good work by Mancini, he clipped a shot just past the post. Julio Cesar was to thank again for keeping Nerazzurri in the match, as he made a great save from Mauri, before Brocchi pulled a shot just wide. Later, Zanetti passed to Suazo who held the ball up before leaving it for Zanetti who cracked a shot which was put over the bar.

Julio Cesar made one final save to ensure Internazionale’s victory. The Brazilian goalkeeper had performed brilliantly again, showing why he is holding the jersey. Nerazzurri top the table after the first round of Serie A matches thanks to this 3-1 wins over Lazio.
