    • 90' There it is! All over in Empoli! And Milan claim all three points!
    • 89' GOAL! It's another for Milan and that should be that! Kaka picks his spot from the edge of the area and the Rossoneri seal victory!
    • 85' GOAL! Milan take the lead as Ambrosini heads home from a standing start! Bassi can't do anything about that one and Milan look like they're going to move back into Champions League contention!
    • 81' Time running out for Milan to grab a winner... and this could be a crucial point for Empoli in their battle against the drop...
    • 77' Paloschi on for Gilardino... and he teams up with his young strike partner Pato...
    • 70' Twenty minutes remaining and it's still up for grabs in Empoli...
    • 62' And then Empoli make a third change... Tosto for Raggi...
    • 61' Saudati goes into the book for a trip on Pirlo...
    • 57' Empoli make a second change... Giacomazzi on for Giavinco...
    • 55' Off the post from Marchisio! Stunning strike from 25 yards as things opened up for him a little! Kalac is rooted to the spot, but his post comes to his rescue!
    • 51' Empoli make a change themselves... off goes Abate and on comes Mariannini...
    • 46' Back underway in Empoli... and Milan have made two changes... Gourcuff and Oddo have been replaced by Bonera and Brocchi...
    • 45' There goes the half-time whistle! And the teams go in locked at 1-1!
    • 37' Saudati! Oooh! The Empoli striker drags his shot wide of the far post after a good turn....
    • 34' Another great chance for Empoli! But Vannucchi somehow skies over the bar from three yards out!
    • 32' Gilardino is through on goal here! But he can't quite lift the ball over Bassi as the keeper rushes out!
    • 26' GOAL! Pato puts Milan in the lead again! NO! DISALLOWED! And correctly so - he was a yard offside!
    • 23' GOAL! Empoli level things up as Busce slides in at the far post to thunder the ball into the roof of the net! As the cross comes over, everyone misses it... except the Empoli captain! 1-1!
    • 22' Kaka picks out Gilardino in the middle with a cut back from the byline! But the Italy international doesn't catch it sweetly and Napoli can clear their lines.
    • 20' Milan needed that goal - they've looked nervy so far today.
    • 19' GOAL! Milan take the lead through that man Pato! But it stems from a terrible Bassi error... the Empoli keeper drops Oddo's cross right into the path of the Brazilian, who has the easy task of slotting home from close range!
    • 18' Brilliant from Milan! Pato and Kaka combine brilliantly... Pato lets fly! Decent save from Bassi and Gilardino can't get to the rebound!
    • 14' There'll be a little break in play here as Busce receives a bit of treatment after a clash of heads...
    • 9' Pato tries to take on the entire Empoli defence in one go! But it's not happening this time and Pratali comes away with the ball...
    • 6' Giovinco has the first shot of target of the day! But it's easy for Kalac to take...
    • 1' Underway in Tuscany!
    • - Hello and welcome to eurosport.yahoo.com's LIVE scoring of Milan's trip to Empoli! The Rossoneri will be keen to move on from their midweek Champions League exit while Empoli need something from the game to boost their survival hopes.
