Lazio vs Inter 0-3 Players Rating
LAZIO
Carrizo: 5.0- Had no chance on any of the three goals and will be disappointed with his defensive corps.
Kolarov: 6.0- Was unlucky to have to re-take his free-kick as his first effort was ruled out after he had failed to wait for Orsato’s whistle.
Rozenhal: 5.0- Was embarrassed by Ibrahimovic and co. tonight and will not sleep easy after his performance.
Diakite: 3.0- A nightmarish match for the Lazio defender as he was at fault for Samuel’s goal as he was beaten to the ball by the Argentine defender and then he inexplicably directed the ball into his own net at the end of the first half for what is the “own goal” of the season so far.
De Silvestri: 4.0- Was run ragged by Maicon and will be glad that the match is over.
Mauri: 5.0- Was invisible for long stretches of the match and failed to make an impression tonight.
Ledesma: 5.0- Wasted his set-piece deliveries and was taken out of the match by Cambiasso.
Foggia: 6.5- Looked dangerous on the ball tonight and was the only bright spot on an otherwise dark day for Lazio.
Dabo: 5.0- Was ineffective tonight as was substituted to start the second half.
Pandev: 6.0- Did not have any time to make a real impact on the match as an injury forced him into taking an early shower.
Zarate: 6.0- The young Argentine striker was out-foxed by the old Argentine warhorse in the centre of the Inter defence.
SUBS: Rocchi (30”) 5.0, Brocchi (46”) 5.0, Meghni (77”) NA 
INTER MILAN
Julio Cesar: 7.0- Did not see much action between the posts but made a nice diving save on Zarate in the 71st minute.
Maxwell: 7.0- The Brazilian left-back quietly does what is asked of him, game-in and game-out.
Samuel: 8.0- He timed his jump perfectly and powered a bullet header past a helpless Carrizo to give his team the lead in the second minute which set the tone for the rest of the match.
Cordoba: 7.0- Didn’t put a wrong foot forward all evening and kept a tight lid on Zarate and Rocchi.
Maicon: 8.0- He just might be the best right-back in the game today as he managed to push forward at will and provided the cross for the Nerazzurri’s second goal of the match.
Zanetti: 7.0- The model of consistency put together another solid outing while captaining the squad to another impressive victory.
Cambiasso: 8.0- His last-gasp sliding tackle on Zarate might have saved a goal in the 29th minute and was simply everywhere tonight. He also chipped in with the set-piece delivery that set up Ibrahimovic’s goal.
Stankovic: 7.0- Looks to be recovering his form of old as he looks comfortable in his midfield role behind the two strikers.
Muntari: 7.0- Provided the cross that set up Samuel’s goal in the early going and was a tower of power all night long
Cruz: 6.0- A knee injury ended his afternoon after just 37 minutes of play.
Ibrahimovic: 8.0- His quick free kick led to Inter’s second goal of the match and his vast arsenal of tricks wowed the Olimpico faithful.
SUBS: Crespo (27”) 6.0, Figo (78”) NA Mancini (85”) NA
