Substitutions: Ferrari for Serena (69 mn), Seedorf for Brocchi (69 mn) and Pacheco for Cirillo (82 mn)
Notes: Córdoba and Cirillo were man marking Ibon Begoña and Javi Moreno, so they weren't always on the positions displayed in the formation pic
Ferrari played as right CB and tasked to man mark Iván Alonso, this relocated Córdoba as LWB/LB who was apparently now man marking Magno
Seedorf played as right CMF, this relocated Zanetti as RWB
Incident: After Alavés netted the 0-2 against Internazionale, Internazionale supporters from behind Alavés's goalpost started to throw objects onto the field, delaying the game for some minutes
