D. Zapata has scored a goal for Udinese! Assist by Felipe.
Felipe was completely unmarked as he attacked that near post header.
GOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!! Zapata does get his goal!! Evangelista whips in a corner from the left-hand side and Felipe flicks on a header towards the back post, where the striker slides in to turn the ball home from close range.
90' +1
We’re into the first of two minutes of added time at the end of this game.
89'
Palacio’s name is now being chanted out around the ground and the player acknowledges it with a brief applause to the fans.
87'
The tempo of this game has certainly increased in the last 15 minutes or so, with both sides looking as though they want another goal, which wasn’t the case midway through this second half.
85'
Candreva gets away from the Udinese defence down the right-hand side and stands up a cross towards an unmarked Palacio at the back post, but the ball is just too high for the midfielder, much to the disappointment of the home crowd who are desperate for him to get on the scoresheet.
84'
Balic leaves the free-kick for Evangelista but the substitute can only curl his effort straight into the wall.
83'
T. Sainsbury gets yellow.
Sainsbury goes into the book for bringing down Matos just outside the Inter penalty area and Udinese will have another free-kick in a dangerous area just to the right of centre.
81'
Chance!! Another wasted opportunity for Zapata which rather epitomises his evening so far, as he does well to shift the ball onto his right foot and make space for himself to shoot inside the box, but he then blasts his effort high over the bar.
80'
Close!! This game has come to life all of a sudden as Gabriel Silva gets into space down the left-hand side and puts in a cross towards Thereau in the middle, but the striker blasts his left-footed volley high over the bar from 12 yards out.
78'
G. Angella is unfortunate, scores an own goal!
GOOOOOAAAAALLL!!! Inter get their fifth! Eder stands up a cross from the right-hand side and it goes all the way through to Kondogbia at the back post, whose fierce first-time volley goes back across goal and bounces into the back of the net off the unfortunate Angella.
Minute
Description
77'
That goal appears to have given Udinese a renewed level of confidence as Evangelista gets into a good position down the left-hand side and crosses towards Matos, but Inter just about get enough men back to clear the ball away from danger.
76'
A. Balić has scored a goal for Udinese!
GOOOOAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!!! Balic fires in a consolation for Udinese! Inter fail to clear the ball effectively and the young midfielder runs onto the loose ball and superbly side-foots it into the top corner from the edge of the area.
73'
CHANCE!! Another chance for Udinese as Matos goes on a driving run across the top of the penalty area and lays the ball off to Zapata, but the striker blasts his first-time effort high over the bar from 18 yards out. Zapata hasn’t had his best night in front of goal so far.
71'
S. Widmer gets yellow.
T. Sainsbury enters the game and replaces D. Santon.
Inter are going to make their third and final change now as Australian international Trent Sainsbury comes on for his Inter debut in place of Santon.
Widmer is shown a yellow card for bringing down Eder.
Matos does well to skip away from Nagatomo and win a free-kick 25 yards out from goal, but the left-back escapes a yellow card and Udinese waste the position by taking the free-kick quickly and giving the ball away.
69'
Brozovic picks the ball up close to the left-hand touchline and cuts inside onto his right foot before shooting towards goal, but his long-range effort is a poor one and flies into the stands.
68'
Inter are almost playing at walking pace a lot of the time now and Udinese don’t appear to have any real desire to force them to lift the tempo.
66'
Close!! A half-chance for Udinese as Evangelista drives a low, left-footed shot narrowly wide of the goal from 20 yards out. Carrizo certainly wasn’t sure that that was going wide and he was at full stretch on the dive.
65'
The intensity of this game has dropped once again since Perisic’s departure, as Nagatomo gets to the byline down the left-hand side only for his cross to be easily cleared.
63'
D. D'Ambrosio gets yellow.
D’Ambrosio becomes the first player to go into the book for bringing down Evangelista late.
62'
Udinese have another free-kick 30 yards out following a foul by Palacio, but once again Balic’s delivery in is headed away by Inter.
60'
Lucas Evangelista enters the game and replaces E. Hallfreðsson.
A third and final change for Udinese now as Hallfredsson departs to be replaced by Lucas Evangelista.
59'
OFF THE POST!! Palacio comes so close to getting a farewell goal as he’s played clean through on goal and side-foots the ball past Scuffet from a tight angle on the right-hand side, only to see the ball bounce agonisingly off the foot of the post and away from danger.
57'
CHANCE!! A golden opportunity for Udinese to pull one back as Zapata shows a clean pair of heels to burst away from Andreolli and into the penalty area, but he drags his low, left-footed shot across goal and out for a goal kick.
56'
R. Palacio enters the game and replaces I. Perišić.
And that will be Perisic’s last act of the game as he’s replaced by Rodrigo Palacio, who’s greeted which a loud cheer from the home fans as he comes on for what will be his final ever Inter appearance.
54'
Éder has scored a goal for Inter Milan! Assist by I. Perišić.
Perišić has been oustanding so far and he put that ball on a plate for Eder to score.
GOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!! Eder makes it four!! Perisic is the creator once again as he drives into the penalty area from the left-hand side before cutting back a low cross towards Eder, who smashes the ball into the roof of the net from eight yards out.
53'
Brozovic exchanges a lovey one-two with Candreva which sets him away into space inside the right-hand edge of the Udinese penalty area, but his touch just lets him down as he looks to cut inside onto his left foot, and Udinese are able to regain possession, albeit not for long.
51'
Perisic gets on the ball once again and turns away from Widmer with ease, but for once his final delivery is poor and goes straight into the grateful arms of Scuffet.
50'
Inter have settled into this second half in the same fashion that they played the majority of the first, seeing plenty of the ball with very little pressure on them.
48'
Udinese are awarded a free-kick 30 yards out on the right-hand side following a foul on Matos by Perisic, but Balic’s delivery is easily headed away from danger.
47'
It looks as though Santon has moved into the middle of the Inter defence alongside Andreolli following that substitution, with Nagatomo slotting in to his natural left-back position.
46'
Y. Nagatomo enters the game and replaces G. Medel.
E. Agyemang-Badu enters the game and replaces J. Jankto.
Inter are making their first change at the start of this second half with Yuto Nagatomo coming on for Medel.
Udinese are also making another change as Jankto is replaced by Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu.
Kick-off! Inter get the second half underway.
45'
Matos wins Udinese a free-kick on the right-hand side and Jankto swings in another dangerous ball, but Carrizo comes out well to get a strong fist to the ball to punch it clear. Jankto has looked as dangerous as anyone in a Udinese shirt so far.
43'
HUGE CHANCE!!!! A huge chance for Perisic to get his second of the game as he surges forward into the Udinese half on the counter attack and has Candreva up in support to his right, but the Croatian chooses to ignore his unmarked teammate and goes for goal himself, only to blast the ball high over the bar from 12 yards out with just Scuffet to beat.
40'
Udinese have improved slightly in the last couple of minutes with Hallfredsson starting to see more of the ball in midfield, but they still don’t look too threatening in the final third.
38'
Udinese look to hit back immediately as the ball falls to Matos on the edge of the Inter penalty area with space ahead of him, but he rushes his left-footed shot and slices it well wide of Carrizo’s goal.
36'
M. Brozović has scored a goal for Inter Milan! Assist by I. Perišić.
Perišić has been involved in almost everything good going forward for Inter today and he reacted quickly to set that goal up for Brozovic.
GOOOOAAAALLLLLL!!! Brozovic makes it three! Perisic is involved once again as he pounces on a loose pass from Widmer down the left-hand edge of the penalty area before cutting the pass back to Brozovic, who knocks the ball out of his feet and drills a powerful, left-footed shot across Scuffet and into the bottom corner.
33'
Perisic is causing Udinese all sorts of problems at the moment and he threatens to get in behind once again as he brilliantly controls a long ball dropping over his shoulder, but Silvan Widmer recovers well to shepherd the ball out for a goal kick.
31'
CHANCE! Wonderful football from Perisic as he twists and turns on the edge of the area before exchanging a neat one-two with Brozovic which gets him into the area and into a shooting position, but he can’t quite get the ball out of his feet to generate enough power to beat Simone Scuffet with the shot.
29'
Ryder Matos enters the game and replaces T. Heurtaux.
Udinese are going to be forced into an early change now and it’s going to be Heurtaux who is replaced, having not recovered from the knock he took in the build up to Inter’s second goal. Ryder Matos comes on in his place.
27'
The intensity of this game has dropped dramatically since that second goal with neither side showing any urgency to get forward.
25'
Inter’s back four are seeing an awful lot of the ball just at the minute and Udinese are finding it really difficult to keep it when they win it back.
23'
Inter look extremely comfortable now and they’re moving the ball around with ease inside their own half, forcing Udinese to chase it down.
21'
CLOSE!! Inter very nearly add a third goal as Roberto Gagliardini meets Perisic’s whipped in cross at the near post and directs a powerful header just wide.
18'
I. Perišić has scored a goal for Inter Milan! Assist by Éder.
Inter got a slice of fortune with that goal as Heurtaux went down injured which allowed Eder to pick up the loose ball and cross for Perisic.
GOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLL!!! Perisic doubles Inter’s lead! Eder picks up the ball on the right-hand side of the penalty area and slides a perfectly weighted pass across the face of goal towards Perisic at the back post, who side-foots the ball in from close range.
17'
Both sides look a threat going forward at the moment but Inter are seeing more of the ball, and Udinese look as though they’re going to sit back and try and hit Inter on the counter attack.
15'
Close! Udinese are looking a threat going forward and they go close once again as Emil Hallfredsson surges up into the Inter half before laying the ball off to Zapata to his right, but the striker’s first-time, side-footed effort from the edge of the area slides narrowly wide of the left-hand post.
14'
Save! Zapata gets away into space down the right-hand side and despite having Thereau up in support he chooses to go for goal from the right-hand corner of the penalty area, and forces Juan Pablo Carrizo to get down at his near post and make a relatively comfortable save.
12'
CHANCE!! Gabriel Silva wins Udinese a corner on the right-hand side and Jakub Jankto swings it into a dangerous area at pace, but Gabriele Angella can only head the ball across the face of goal and out for a goal kick, despite being unmarked in the middle.
10'
Udinese are awarded a free-kick 25 yards out in a central area following a foul on Duvan Zapata, but Thereau fails to get it over the wall and the opportunity passes.
8'
Brozovic once again spreads the ball wide to Santon who has acres of space to run into down the left-hand side, but this time he pulls the ball back to Geoffrey Kondogbia who runs onto it 25 yards out from goal, only to smash his first-time effort high over the bar.
7'
The home fans were making plenty of noise before that goal but they’re really getting behind their side now.
5'
Éder has scored a goal for Inter Milan! Assist by D. Santon.
GOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLL!!! Eder puts Inter ahead!! Marcelo Brozovic spreads the ball out wide to Davide Santon on the left-hand side, and the full-back cuts a low cross back towards Eder who scuffs the ball into the back of the net from 10 yards out.
Santon did well to drive towards the byline before putting a cross into a dangerous area from the left-hand edge of the box.
3'
A good start for Inter as Antonio Candreva gets in behind the Udinese defence down the right-hand edge of the box and while his cross is cleared out for a corner by Thomas Heurtaux, Marco Andreolli gets up well at the back post to meet the corner, but his header is off target.
1'
Kick-off! Cyril Thereau gets the game underway for Udinese.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Serie A match between Inter and Udinese at the San Siro.
Inter sit seventh in the Serie A table, but have no chance of climbing above Milan and into the Europa League qualification spots, although a defeat or a draw could see them finish the season in eighth depending on Fiorentina’s result.
They come into the game on the back of an impressive 3-1 win over Lazio, however that victory did bring an end to an eight game winless run.
Udinese also have very little to play for other than pride, although a big win could see them could see them secure a top half finish should Sassuolo slip up against Torino.
Their away form will not give them too much hope though, having won just one of their last 10 games on the road, and having not scored in each of their last three.
Inter make three changes from their side that started the win against Lazio, with Juan Carrizo replacing Samir Handanovic in goal, while Davide Santon and Geoffrey Kondogbia come in for Yuto Nagatomo and Jeison Murillo.
Udinese make just two changes from their 1-1 draw with Sampdoria last time out, as Silvan Widmer and Thomas Heurtaux replace Danilo Larangeira and Rodrigo de Paul.
Ivan Perisic scored twice, including an 87th minute winner, as Inter came from behind to win 2-1 when the two sides met earlier in the season, with Jakub Jankto scoring the opener for Udinese.
The players are making their way out onto the pitch. Kick-off is not far away now.
Half-time: Inter 3-0 Udinese
Inter are in complete control of this game at the break thanks to goals from Eder, Brozovic and the outstanding Perisic, who has caused Udinese problems throughout the half and should have added a fourth in the latter stages of it.
Udinese manager Luigi Delneri may well look to change his system in an attempt to try and salvage something from this game in the second half, as his side have been completely overrun so far, while Stefano Vecchi will be asking for more of the same from his side both going forward and in defence.
Full-time: Inter 5-2 Udinese
Inter finish the season with a comfortable win at the San Siro, thanks to goals from Ivan Perisic, Marcelo Brozovic and a brace from Eder, as well as a Gabriele Angella own goal. Udinese improved significantly in the latter stages and got a couple of consolation goals through Andrija Balic and Duvan Zapata, but they were never really in the game having conceded two early goals. That’s all from us for today folks, thanks for joining us and we hope you can join us again soon.
