Half-Time Report: Atalanta BC holding Inter Milan at half time

Atalanta BC are holding Inter Milan to a 1-1 draw at half time in their Serie A encounter this evening, with Inter originally taking the lead through Ricky Alvarez.

The game's first real chance fell to Atalanta and it took a great piece of defending from Fredy Guarin to clear off the line, after Samir Handanovic presented an easy chance to Michele Canini in the 10th minute.

Inter made the home side pay minutes later as Alvarez brought down a header before firing past Andrea Consigli's near post from close range.

However, Atalanta hit back with an equaliser in the 25th minute following great forward play from German Denis, who moved smartly to get a yard on the defender and head adroitly past a helpless Handanovic to bring the score to 1-1 going into half time.
