Without Cambiasso, Stankovic, Thiago Motta, the players are Mariga, Zanetti and Muntari. Sneijder to play behind Eto'o, Milito, Biabiany with Pandev that start from the bench.
The beginning of the game's all Tottenham. Redknapp's team has broken out, but most importantly it is triggered by Gareth Bale. The devastating progressions of the young Welsh outside overlooking constantly Maicon always left only Babiany (very bad the French). After a couple of dangerous attacks Bale Tottenham is the advantage thanks to goals from Rafael Van der Vaart who served in vertical Castellazzi Modric beats with a left cross. Soon after Crouch badly wasted a big assist from Bale.
With every passing minute Tottenham ease somewhat the pressure and try to Inter back into the game. The Nerazzurri are not very sharp but Cudicini has to save his door only from a free kick by Sneijder.
The second time the script does not change much of the race. Bale is close to score from the edge, but the ball went out with and Castellazzi could breathe. At 61' minutes comes the 2-0 English: Bale left to run and cross for Peter Crouch in the middle that beat Castellazzi.
The game seems to be closed, but in the last minute Samuel Eto'o tries to reopen it. Sneijder served by the number 9 has invented yet another stunning goal of the season with a shot to the edge of the pole around which beats Cudicini. Goal number 7 in four games for Eto'o, top goalscorer in the Champions League, the monstrous Cameroon. We test then even with a shot from Diego Milito out loud a bit.
