  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Milan
    • Lazio
    • 90'+3 There goes the final whistle! All over in Milan and it's yet another draw for the hosts, and only just!
    • 90' Three minutes of added time to be played...
    • 88' Lazio make another change, and it's another Premier League reject who enters the fray - David Rozehnal! The former Newcaslte stopper replaces Behrami...
    • 87' Gourcuff leathers one from distance! Ballotta takes it at the second attempt...
    • 84' Pato is again hacked down as he threatened to break free and De Silvestri rightly receives his marching orders! That really is a terrible challenge...
    • 79' Gourcuff fires a decent effort goalwards... but again Ballotta gets well behind it and the ball nestles safely in his gut...
    • 77' Oh dear, this is getting boring... Gattuso is felled by Mudingayi and the Lazio sub gets booked...
    • 76' Here comes another Lazio change... Manfredini replaces goal ace Bianchi! Job done as far as he's concerned...
    • 72' Ouch! Rocchi leaves his trailing leg right in Ambrosini's balls! That's got to hurt...
    • 71' Siviglia finally goes into the book for a foul on Pato...
    • 68' Pandev sees yellow now as Milan look to turn up the pressure on their hosts...
    • 66' GOAL! Oddo evens things up! It's a cool peno from the full-back, low and hard to Ballotta's right! 1-1 now and that 4-4 thriller is looking like a possibility!
    • 65' Penalty! Kaladze goes down in a heap in the Lazio box and the ref points to the spot! Looks like it's Behrami who's the culprit! Chance for Milan to level things up!
    • 61' Oddo is the next to go into the book... for a terrible challenge on Valon Behrami...
    • 60' Dabo's had enough for one night... off he trots to be replaced by Mudingayi...
    • 57' Straight down to the other end and Pato flashes a volley wide of the post! I predict a 4-4 thriller now!
    • 56' Wow... it's amazing what a half time talk can do...
    • 55' Ambrosini goes into the book... sorry, not sure what for, I was too busy salivating over Bianchi's finish...
    • 54' GOAL! Guess who? It's Rolando Bianchi! There's nothing Kalac can do about this one as the Man City misfit slides in to poke Pandev's cross into the back of the net! 1-0 Lazio!
    • 53' And another! This time it's Pandev who lets fly from the edge of the area! Kalac gets down well to tip round the corner! Hold on to your hats, this one's come alive!
    • 51' And then from the resulting corner, Kalac again comes to Milan's rescue with another decent stop!
    • 50' Oooh! Pandev tees up Rocchi who hits one first time! Super save from Kalac to deny Lazio the opener!
    • 48' But he's not half as good. Obviously. He was an integral part of our 'crap younger brothers who live off the reputations of their olding siblings' article a while ago.
    • 47' "Who the hell is that?" you may ask... and with good reason. Digao has made just one appearance for Milan - in the Coppa Italia - and this is his Serie A debut... oh, he's Kaka's younger brother...
    • 46' Milan have made a double change at half time - Ambrosini on for Emerson and Digao on for Bonera...
    • 46' Back underway in Milan!
    • 45' There goes the half-time whistle! And unsurprisingly, given that Milan are playing at home, it's been a pretty dull half...
    • 43' Bianchi tries a 'Van Basten' from the far side... but he's nowhere near as good as the Dutchman and his effort flies into the tifosi behind Kalac's goal...
    • 41' And it's the youngest player on the pitch who next has an effort on goal! He flicks on a header, but again, Ballotta takes it with all too much ease...
    • 38' A quick bit of digging reveals that Paloschi is even younger than Pato! Not by much, but he wasn't born until 1990! He doesn't even remember Gazza's tears in Turin!
    • 37' Here he comes... and it's Seedorf who has gone off injured...
    • 36' Alberto Paloschi looks like he's going to make an entrance... another Milan player young enough to be fathered by Ballotta...
    • 34' Pato brings Ballotta into a bit of action with a crisp strike from distance! But it's never going to find the back of the net, and the ancient relic in the green jersey takes it with ease...
    • 31' Pato is floored yet again... and this time Ledesma goes into the book... well, the Argentinian wouldn't like Brazilians, would he?
    • 29' And their ususal complaint that teams come to the San Siro with ten men behind the ball cannot be used as an excuse tonight - Lazio are playing with three up front...
    • 28' Not wishing to tempt fate, but Milan are playing how they have done so many times at the San Siro this season - well, but with no idea of how to unlock their opponent's back line...
    • 24' After a promising start to the game, it's rather lost its interest over the last ten minutes...
    • 22' Siviglia has come up with a novel way of stopping Pato - hack him down... Arsene Wenger wouldn't be happy...
    • 19' Hang on! Here's chance for Silvestri... he gets past Jankulovski on the right hand side and bares down on goal! But his poked effort is easy for Kalac to take and danger vanishes as quick as it appeared.
    • 17' Anyway, back to the match... although nothing's been happening over the past couple of minutes...
    • 16' He started his professional career in 1982... Pato, who poses the main threat to his goal tonight, was born in 1989. Amazing.
    • 15' 43! Ballotta is 43! Incredible! Not even Teddy Sheringham is that old!
    • 14' Seriously, how old is Ballotta? He seems to have been around for years... and he certainly doesn't look like a spring chicken...
    • 13' Pato delivers a dangerous looking cross into the Lazio mixer... the 72-year-old Ballotta's there to claim though!
    • 12' Siviglia now breaks up a Milan attack, and he can bring the ball forward here... but he's a centre-half at the end of the day and his distribution lets him down... here come Milan again...
    • 10' Jankulovski piles into the back of Bianchi... surprisingly, fuss is minimal and play goes on...
    • 8' Pato gives us a glimpse of what he's capable of now... his final ball isn't the best this time though and Lazio come away with it.
    • 6' Bianchi's playing up on his own tonight, with support coming from Rocchi and Pandev...
    • 5' Milan are playing the ball around nicely... but they always do. Their main problem this season has been finding the back of the net. At least Pato's on the pitch tonight... he's averaging three goals a game since he arrived in Milan (or something like that)....
    • 3' Two former Manchester City players featuring for Lazio tonight... Ousmane 'I love Joey Barton' Dabo and Rolando 'I love English food' Bianchi have both made Delio Rossi's starting line-up...
    • 2' Gourcuff finds a bit of space out on the far side... he crosses, but Siviglia is there to head clear...
    • 1' Here we go! Underay in San Siro, Milan!
    • - Kick-off is at 19:30 GMT, so be sure to join us then for all the action as it happens!
    • - Lazio, meanwhile, welcome back Valon Behrami from suspension and former Manchester City man Rolando Bianchi will be hoping to get the nod so he can attempt to add to the goal he bagged in midweek.
    • - Victory for the Rossoneri will see them leapfrog Fiorentina into fourth place, but Carlo Ancelotti will be without a hosts of stars for the visit of Lazio. Alessandro Nesta (thigh), Dida (back) Giuseppe Favalli (suspension) and Ronaldo (knee) are all out, while Marek Jankulovski and Serginho are both doubtful.
    • - Hello and welcome to eurosport.yahoo.com's LIVE coverage of today's big Serie A game! It's faltering Milan - whose next opponents will be Arsenal on Tuesday - against midtable Lazio at the San Siro.
