Corner for Inter as Guarin looks to provide for Alvarez in the box. Corner taken with the play falling back to Inter in midfield and another corner eventually won.

56′: Atalanta 1 – Inter 1
Inter choose not to whip the ball in and instead build up the play deep in their midfield. Nothing coming from the play.

Foul for Inter with a high boot from Stendardo (who misses the next game) on Alvarez.

47′: Atalanta 1 – Inter 1
Early half-chance for Atalanta as the ball falls for Denis who is brought down (adjudged fairly) before the shot can be taken.
Guarin responds quickly, blasting a shot from some distance at the Atalanta goal.

Second half gets underway in Bergamo!
Atalanta vs Inter Milan: Serie A live scores, blog
No surprises, Handanovic is indeed replaced by Carrizo as the only half-time substitution.

As we look ahead to the second half possibilities, the first change seems very likely to be Handanovic being replaced by Carrizo, who played at in goals for Inter against Verona (whilst Handanovic was suspended).
If Palacio continues to struggle for opportunities, look for Icardi making an appearance around the 60 minute mark to provide more of a presence in the box.
For Atalanta, they will be looking to replicate their first half performance and the message will surely be more of the same. They have so far out-classed their higher credentialed opponents and will be looking to continue their impressive record at home.

It was Atalanta who were creating the chances early however against the run of play, Inter took their opportunity first through Alvarez, where the Bergamo faithful could have been forgiven for feeling hard done by.
However, it wasn’t too long before they hit back through Denis, meeting a great cross from Moralez.
Atalanta finish the half having created the better chances on goal. Juan has struggled with Moralez down Atalanta’s right-side attack where he has managed to free himself for a number of crosses into the box in addition to winning a couple corners and freekicks.
Jonathon has been one of Inter’s best and has been at the heart of much of their build-up play on Inter’s right hand side. Palacio, despite heading down for the Alvarez goal, hasn’t received much service in the box and has looked somewhat isolated.

Shots of Handanovic clutching at his hip still, looks to be in a great deal of pain and seems doubtful he will return for the second half.

Great build up play from Jonathon outside the box, great skill on the ball, with the eventual cross met on the line by Nagatomo who tries to head it back into play, only getting as far as the post and falling for a goalkick.

Open bit of play as Atalanta pushes down the right, the cross is cleared as Inter pushes forward through Alvarez, before Atalanta winning back possession and pushing once again with an over the top ball coming through for Denis who can only head down for the Inter defence.
