  Samir Handanoviç

  Pulled off a great save from Cossu and twice prevented Nene with fantastic stops.

  Javier Adelmar Zanetti

  A consistent performance as ever. Intercepted well and regularly made the correct decision when on the ball.

•

  3.00

  Andrea Ranocchia

  Made a number of good headed clearances but struggled to contain Sau as his off-ball runs often took him out of position.

•

  3.00

  Walter Adrian Samuel

  Worked hard all game, mopped up loose balls and did well to hold position against a pacy Cagliari forward line.

  Juan

  Could have scored in the first half from a header which produced a great save from Agazzi. Lost his marker, Sau, for the first goal.

•

  2.50

  Yuto Nagatomo

  Largely ineffective throughout the match. Lost possession on several occasions and often out-jumped by his marker at the back post.

  Esteban Matias Cambiasso Flop of the Match

  Rarely seen on the ball and didn't provide anything for Inter as Cagliari's Cossu outplayed and dominated him in the centre of midfield.

  Walter Gargano

  Booked for a cynical foul in the first half. Did well to regularly lay the ball off for more talented teammates.

  Rodrigo Palacio

  Scored Inter's goal with a well-judged header, but did not make an impact on the game otherwise.

  2.50

  Diego Alberto Milito

  Really not involved in much of Inter's play and rarely had a touch of the ball. Should have scored when he hit a shot over the bar from inside the six-yard box.

•

  3.50

  Antonio Cassano

  Easily Inter's best player. The most creative threat for his side and continually provided good deliveries into the box. Assisted Palacio's goal.

  Coutinho

  Bright when brought on. He showed great speed of thought and his pace was a constant threat.

  3.00

  Ricardo Gabriel Álvarez

  His introduction injected real energy into Inter. Tempo lifted and his ball into the box resulted in the equaliser through the own goal.

  Michael Agazzi

  Not really tested for 75 minutes. Did well when called upon and made a good save from Milito at 2-1.

  Danilo Avelar

  Made a great clearance from Ranocchia on the goal line as Inter piled on pressure.

  Davide Astori

  Unfortunate to score the own goal which evened the scoreline in the last few minutes. Comfortable otherwise.

  Francesco Pisano

  Ran well down the right flank all game, always showing. Prevented Nagatamo time on the ball.

  Luca Rossettini

  Defended well and looked in control at the centre of defence. Lost Palacio in the first half for the goal.

  Radja Nainggolan

  Often wasted possession in the final third. Influential but too greedy on occasions.

  Daniele Conti

  Very comfortable in possession and performed with patience and intelligent passing.

  Andrea Cossu

  Provided a sublime assist for Sau's first goal. Unbalanced the Inter back three.

  Albin Ekdal

  Not influential during the game. Quiet throughout and the match seemed to pass him by.

  Nenê

  Unlucky not to score through a terrific volley and then a towering header before being withdrawn through injury during the first half.

  Marco Sau Top of the Match

  Scored both Cagliari goals. A thunderous first before a brilliantly composed second.

  Mauricio Pinilla

  Did well to keep the ball in play for Sau's second goal.
