  Zeljko Brkic

  Could not be faulted for the goal and generally dealt quite well with everything Inter threw at him. However, he did spill an Alvarez cross during the first half, a mistake which Samuel really should have punished.

  Roberto Vitiello

  A pretty solid game from the full-back, who coped quite well with both Zarate and his replacement, Obi.

  Cristiano Del Grosso

  Struggled to subdue Alvarez during the opening period but looked far more assured after the break and even became more adventurous from an attacking perspective as the home side began to dominate.

  Luca Rossettini

  In truth, enjoyed a pretty comfortable afternoon with Inter employing just one up top and his solid display warranted a clean sheet. It was not to be though, as he and his colleagues switched off right at the death.

  Claudio Terzi

  Committed and uncompromising, Terzi was booked for going through Pazzini during the first half but, for the most part was disciplined, and performed well at the heart of the Siena defence.

  Gaetano D'Agostino

  Showed some neat touches and a nice passing range but did not really provide enough incision.

  Alessandro Carlo Gazzi

  Like those around him in midfield, was very industrious but did not really contribute in an attacking sense.

  Daniele Mannini

  Worked hard and also went close with a flying header during the first period. Also picked out Calaio with a terrific ball over the top early in the second half. Decent display.

  Marcelo Alejandro Larrondo

  Did his best to put himself about but made little impact and, in truth, it was a surprise when Calaio was hauled ashore before him.

  Emanuele Calaiò

  Siena's principal attacking threat. It was his pass which put Brienza in on goal during the first half, while he also went close himself just before the break. Something of a surprise that he was withdrawn midway through the second period.

  Franco Brienza

  Squandered a good chance during the first half when he fired over at the end of a good counter-attack but he also supplied a lot of good crosses from the left. However, let his frustration boil over at the end and was sent off for kicking the corner flag!

  Thrown on for Gazzi but did not really have sufficient time to impose himself on proceedings.

  Replaced Larrondo but proved just as ineffective as the Argentine.

  In truth he had very little to do, even during the second half when Siena came on strong.

  Javier Adelmar Zanetti

  Did not really offer much going forward, but was as reliable as ever at the back and made a crucial intervention when the game was still scorrless by cutting out Larrondo's terrific cross to the far post.

  Andrea Ranocchia

  Continues to look very suspect. Booked for hauling down Calaio during the first half after miscontrolling a long ball, and also allowed the ball to bounce over his head during the second half. Suspect in the least.

  Walter Adrian Samuel

  Solid display from the Argentine. Stepped out of defence during the first half to start a good counter-attack and also should have scored when a corner dropped to him in the box. Defended well throughout though.

  Yuto Nagatomo

  Linked up very well with Alvarez in the first half, getting forward whenever he could, and was also pretty solid defensively.

  Dejan Stankovic

  Tested Brkic with a decent early drive, but faded as the game wore on and provided little drive from the middle of the park.

  Thiago Motta Top of the Match

  Distributed the ball simply and effectively, allowing those around him the chance to go and play. Came to the fore in the closing stages, drawing a save from Brkic with a well-struck free before then picking out Castaignos for the winner.

  Ricardo Gabriel Álvarez

  He was Inter's best player during the opening period, providing a succession of inviting crosses from the right, and yet was bizarrely replaced at half-time.

  Esteban Matias Cambiasso

  Solid but not spectacular in the slightest. Passing was poor at times and he also never managed to support the isolated Pazzini in attack.

  Giampaolo Pazzini

  Difficult afternoon for the forward, who was given very little support from those behind him. Went close with a header in the first half but was given little to work with.

  Mauro Zárate Flop of the Match

  Saw a fair bit of the ball during the first half but did absolutely nothing with it - other than win a couple of corners - and he was unsurprisingly hauled off at the break.

  Obi

  Came on at the break for Alvarez but did not justify his introduction at all. Caught in possession badly on one occasion while he also failed to beat the first man with a couple of crosses.

  Luc Castaignos

  Introduced at the break for Zarate and initially struggled to make an impact, but then came up with the winning goal, finishing well after being put in by Motta.
