Player rating produce by Carlo Garganese of goal.com from 2-1 Inter vs. Cagliari
Marchetti: 6 - Aside from pick the ball out of his net twice, Marchetti had very few saves to make. Blameless on both of Milito's strikes.
Marzoratti: 6.5 - Relatively steady down the right hand side. Did not have too much defending to do on his flank.
Astori: 6.5 - Confident display from the youngster, although he let Milito get away for the second goal. Julio Cesar: 7.5 - Saved his side on a number of occasions, as Inter got out of jail today.
Maicon: 5 - Very shaky display from the Brazilian, who conceded the penalty and really struggled against Matri and Cossu. Didn't seem up for the game at all.
Cordoba: 6 - Good pace at the back, but clearly Cordoba's best days are behind him. Inter look far safer with Samuel or Chivu at centre back.
Lucio: 6.5 - A couple of crucial interceptions, but Lucio always looked like he was really fighting to keep up with the Cagliari attacks.
Santon: 5.5 - Endured a number of problems in the first half against the tricky Cossu and Jeda, and was replaced at half time.
Zanetti: 7 - Led by example, and kept his head while those around him were starting to panic when Cagliari threatened to run away with the game.
Cambiasso: 5.5 - Clearly wasn't fully fit after his long injury lay-off and was hooked at the interval after a difficult 45 minutes.
Stankovic: 7 - One of Inter's few good performers this afternoon. Was useful in the defensive and attacking phase. Shot just over early on.
Sneijder: 6 - A few crisp passes, but in truth Sneijder was disappointing. Will have to do much better than this if he is to be the top-class trequartista Inter are looking for.
Eto'o: 6.5 - Worked extremely hard, and it was his pressing that led to Inter's equaliser. Curled a free kick inches wide on 35 minutes.
Milito: 9 - Simply sensational, and undoubtedly one of the best finishers in world football. His two finishes today were clinically deadly, particularly the winner.
Thiago Motta: N/A - Lasted just 20 minutes of the second half before limping off. Balotelli: 6.5 - Powerful second half, but missed a good chance. Chivu: 6.5 - Slotted in nicely.
