Juan Cuadrado creates another decent opportunity. Finds Di Marco with a decent diagonal ball but the cross is easily dealt by Al Nassr.

Lautaro Martinez is coming off. He would be wondering how he has no goals to his name in this match. It remains 1-1 at the Yanmar Stadium in Osaka.

Al Nassr are struggling to keep hold of the ball. They have barely attacked in this alf and have failed to create any opportunities in the counter attack.

Lautaro misses again!

Well Well Well!! Lautaro misses from an unmissable position. How could he hit that off target?? The Argentine skies his shot over and then holds his hand on his head in despair. He has squandered chances after chances today.

Inter knocking on the door again, but fail to score again

Sensi comes close again. Found space at the edge of the box but his shot flies wide. Inter Milan are all over Al Nassr and it looks only a matter of time for the Italian club to take the lead.

Juan Cuadrado has been excellent for Inter since coming on. The Colombian has been busy on the right-hand side and has sent in decent crosses and passes to trouble Al Nassr.

Lautaro Martínez: “I received huge bids from Saudi clubs, it’s true. But I’m very happy at Inter and in Milano, no chance and no reason to change”. 🚨⛔️🇸🇦🇦🇷

“I’m the captain here, Inter is my second home. I feel loved here since day one. I’m proud to be here”, told Gazzetta. pic.twitter.com/4WOzJgvzI6

Lautaro heads Over

Lautaro Martinez heads another free header off-target. Excellent ball from the right-hand side by Juan Cuadrado, but the Argentine striker fails to hit target despite being unchallenged. It is 1-1 as we approach the hour mark in Osaka.

Asllani comes Close

Kristjan Asllani comes close again for Inter Milan. A nice lay off for the Albanian but the player manages to hit the shot just wide. Two chances in quick succession for Asllani.

Cuadrado sends a good ball in towards Di Marco, but it was well defended by Al Nassr and the goalkeeper gathers it. Asllani then takes a hit which is straight at the Al Nassr keeper.

Seven minutes gone in the second half and we can already see an overwhelming domination by the Inter Milan side. With the key players off the field, it will be a daunting task for the Al Nassr outfit to keep the Italian side at bay.

Positive start from Inter in the 2nd half. New signings Marcus Thuram and Bastoni involved and the shot from Lautaro Martinez is blocked and earns Inter a corner.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been subbed off, so are Anderson Talisca, Seko Fofana, Marcelo Brozovic and the Al Nassr goalscorer Abdulrahman Ghareeb among others. It is to be seen how the Saudi club perform after the departures of their top players.

Inter Milan have made seven changes in total. And it is an early foul on the Inter captain Laurtaro Martinez. Al Nassr themselves have made a host of changes.

Goaaaaaal!! Inter Milan have restored parity. Davide Prattesi meets his header extremely well and diverts it in the far corner. The debutant on loan has scored a goal here and it is 1-1 with a minute to play of the first half.

Al Nassr vs Inter Milan LIVE Updates: NAS 1 INT 0 (39')

It is safe to say that Al Nassr are playing their best match of the pre-season so far in this one. They have got a deserved lead. Inter Milan have been wayward and their attackers have been wasteful in front of goal. Slender lead for Al Nassr, but Inter will believe they can come back.

Abdulrahman Ghareeb Injured

Problem for the goalscorer Abdulrahman Ghareeb. He is injured and is being treated. Still looks the player may well be able to continue. Cristiano Ronaldo, on the other hand, will be desperate to score a goal in the pre-season.

Have a look at the goal from Abdulrahman Ghareeb here. It was a delightful ball and then the finish was quite exquisite as well from the winger.
