| Minute | Text commentary |
| 46' | It's half-time at the Stadio Mazza in Ferrara. Inter have the lead thanks to Candreva's 37' opener! |
| 45' | The Fourth Official announces that there will be one minute of added time |
| 40' | Cerri finds Strefezza in the box, and the SPAL wide-man beats Handanovic to it, but ultimately fails to find the target |
| 37' | Goaal! Goaaaalll! Candrevaaaa! A splendid passage of play from the Nerazzurri. Sanchez puts Candreva through on the right flank before the Inter winger fires home, beating Letica at the far post: 1-0 Inter!!! |
| 35' | Cerri has a pop from the edge of the area for SPAL, but the shot is wildly off-target |
| 32' | Booking for Bastoni for a foul in midfield |
| 31' | Eriksen whips one in from the left, but no one gets on the end of it, and Letica gets a glove to it |
| 27' | Letica's clearance falls short, Sanchez recovers it and goes for a worldie from range, but his speculative effort misses by a whisker! |
| 24' | Sanchez takes a longshot with his right from 25 yards. But El Niño Maravilla's effort is blocked and he can't find the mark |
| 19' | Eriksen puts a dangerous ball into the box, and then has a pop himself with his left in the aftermath, but it's blocked by the SPAL defence |
| 19' | Petagna hits the crossbar, picking up a wayward pass in the area and shooting with his left: the deflection off Škriniar sends the ball floating until it grazes the crossbar. Now SPAL too have hit the woodwork |
| 15' | Eriksen finds Gagliardini in the area, but his header is straight at Letica, who saves comfortably |
| 14' | Eriksen slices in a free kick which goes out for another corner after a slight deflection |
| 10' | A cagey spell in the game, as both sides probe away. Inter setting the pace while SPAL are on the back foot, looking to hit Inter on the counter |
| 5' | CHANCE FOR BROSOVIC! Candreva plays the Nerazzurri midfielder in, but he hits the woodwork from the edge of the box, with Letica beaten! |
| 2' | Gagliardini gets a touch on Eriksen's corner, but Dabo just about beats Lautaro to it just inches away from the goal line, preventing El Toro from opening the scoring |
| 2' | Eriksen frees up Biraghi: he comes down the wing, puts it into the mixer, and the save earns Inter their first corner |
| 1' | And we're off: Antonio Conte's Nerazzurri get proceedings underway. Come on boys! Forza Inter! |
| 1' | It's matchday at the Stadio Paolo Mazza in Ferrara, where Inter will be taking on SPAL in the 32nd round of fixtures of the Serie A season. The Nerazzurri are pursuing a win that will send them back up to second in the league! |
| Minute | Text commentary |
| 40' | The pace has slowed somewhat, with Inter sitting comfortably on a 3-0 lead |
| 38' | Sala takes a shot from distance, but the SPAL right-back fires wide |
| 36' | Double change for SPAL: Salamon and Tunjov replace Vicari and Murgia |
| 36' | Eriksen has a pop from the edge of the area, but it's off the mark |
| 34' | Lorenzo Pirola makes his debut for the Nerazzurri, replacing Candreva |
| 34' | Another change for Inter: Esposito comes on for Sanchez. |
| 34' | A lofted through ball to Di Francesco, who sends it high up into the stands from the left flank |
| 30' | Substitution for SPAL: Di Francesco is on for Cerri |
| 29' | Substitution for Inter: Borja Valero is on for the man still celebrating scoring Inter's fourth, Roberto Gagliardini |
| 29' | Goal! Goaaalll! It's all done and dusted here in Ferrara! Gagliardini fires home into an open goal after Young picks him out from the left wing: 4-0!!! |
| 23' | Counter-attack from SPAL culminates in a powerful left-footed strike from Petagna, but he can't find the target |
| 22' | SPAL make their first changes: D'Alessandro is on for Strefezza and Cionek for Reca |
| 20' | Inter are inches away from the cherry on the cake, with Sanchez just failing to pick out Eriksen with an open goal gaping |
| 18' | And Young is on for Biraghi |
| 18' | Double change for Inter: Conte brings on D'Ambrosio for Bastoni |
| 17' | Rannocchia brings Petagna down: SPAL have a free-kick and it's yellow for the Nerazzurri defender |
| 15' | Goal! Goalll!! Sancheeezz! Another exquisite move from the Nerazzurri culminating in a shot from Sanchez, who turns in Biraghi's cross: 3-0!!! |
| 10' | Goaal! Goaaallll! The Nerazzurri double their lead, with Biraghi hitting an inch-perfect strike with his right, giving Letica no chance: 2-0!!! |
| 9' | Biraghi with a late challenge on Strefezza. It's yellow for the Nerazzurri wide-man |
| 7' | A miraculous save from Letica oon Sanchez's effort, assisted by Lautaro. Nerazzurri a whisker away from doubling their lead! |
| 6' | Booking for Murgia after repeatedly tugging Brozovic |
| 3' | Lautaro is brought down on his way into the area. A free-kick in a promising position for Inter. |
| 1' | Valdiiori brings down Sanchez: it's yellow for the SPAL midfielder |
