IBRA, CRUZ SINK PARMA

PARMA - Inter remain on top of the Serie A table with Palermo after a
dramatic 2-1 victory over Parma in Sunday's late game at the Ennio Tardini.

Julio Cruz was Inter's saviour once again, with the Argentine forward
hitting an injury-time winner after Zlatan Ibrahimovic's first-half stunner
was cancelled out by an Igor Budan strike.

Fabio Grosso shaved the crossbar with a rising shot after thirteen minutes
of the hard-fought clash. Inter were a goal to the good two minutes later
when Zlatan Ibrahimovic received with his back to goal, turned and crashed a
right-foot shot into the bottom left corner.

The Nerazzurri's lead was shortlived as Parma hit back on 26 minutes through
the impressive Croatian striker Budan, who hooked a Bocchetti assist past
Julio Cesar.

Zlatan Muslimovic wasted an incredible chance to put Parma in front in the
75th minute. With just Julio Cesar to beat the Bosnian forward mis-timed his
shot from Contini's headed pass into the area.

Cruz, on for Crespo in the second half, forced a terrific one-handed save
from Parma substitute De Lucia with a bullet header from Ibrahimovic's cross
before sealing a famous victory in stoppage time, hooking home after his
initial header from Mariano Gonzalez's deflected cross was parried.

Ibrahimovic was dismissed for a second yellow in the fourth minute of added
time and will now miss next Sunday's visit of Reggina.
