  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Milan
    • Livorno
    • 74' Diego Tristan charges into the area and goes down very easily under the challenge of Bonera. The referee rightly waves play on.
    • 71' Gattuso has picked up his customary booking. Some things never change.
    • 69' Pasquale strides forward down the left now and swings in a superb ball, but there's only one man to aim for, and he is outmuscled by Kaladze.
    • 66' Pirlo strides forward again for Milan, he looks to release Oddo down the right, but the pass, for once, is ever so slightly overhit.
    • 60' Pirlo steps up...and SENDS THE 'KEEPER THE WRONG WAY!!!! 1-1! Game on!
    • 59' Ronaldo is now being stretchered off. He looks in serious pain.
    • 58' Milan have a penalty!!! The referee has pointed to the spot after a handball by Vidigal, who is booked! Meanwhile, Ronaldo is down injured after clashing with Vidigal as they both went for the ball!
    • 55' Carlo Ancelotti's patience is worn out. Milan make a double change. Inzaghi and Ronaldo are on for Paloschi and Gattuso.
    • 50' Pulzetti puts Livorno 1-0 up!!! He finds the top left hand corner with a sublime curling left foot shot! The San Siro is stunned!
    • 47' Ronaldo is warming up on the touchline in a rather ridiculous hairband.
    • 46' We're underway in the second half.
    • 45' There's half-time.
    • 44' Francesco Tavano's evening is over. He is injured, and is being replaced by Alessandro Diamanti.
    • 43' Pirlo lets fly with a piledriver from 30 yards...but Amelia parries it clear. The ball was moving a lot in the air, but was too close to the 'keeper.
    • 38' Oddo picks out the forward run of Ambrosini with a lovely ball from the right, and Amelia is forced down low to his left to save from the midfielder!
    • 37' Gourcuff gets his fut to another Pirlo corner, though Pulzatti does enough to ensure he can't keep his first time shot on target.
    • 35' Kakha Kaladze now rises highest in the Livorno area to meet Pirlo's corner and sends a header just over the bar.
    • 32' wins a free-kick in a decent position on the left for Livorno. It's flighted in long towards Tavano at the back post, he evades Oddo, takes it beautifully first time, but then blasts the ball over from 12 yards!!! Livorno's best chance of the game so far.
    • 29' Gourcuff takes a pot shot from just outside the area, and sends the ball whistling over the crossbar. Amelia had it covered though.
    • 26' Ambosini now crosses looking for Gilardino, but Knezevic is there to clear the danger.
    • 22' Gilardino dinks a neat ball through to Paloschi, who is narrowly ruled offside.
    • 19' Livorno come forward down the left. It's plays in to Diego Tristan who turns and shoots from 14 yards, but blasts it over the bar.
    • 16' Ambrosini chests a neat ball into the path of Gilardino, but Grandoni is there to hack clear in the nick of time.
    • 12' Gattuso scythes down Pulzetti on the touchline and is lucky to escape a booking.
    • 10' Tavano has looked the main source of danger for Livorno so far, but it's Milan who are doing all the pressing.
    • 9' Glorious play from Pirlo on the right, it falls to Yoann Gourcuff inside the area, he hits it, but it's blocked by Pasquale and comes out to Ambrosini...he shoots, but it's blocked again, this time by De Vezze!!! Milan are looking dangerous on the attack.
    • 6' Pirlo works himself a shooting opportunity from 30 yards, lets fly...and Amelia is forced into a fine low save!!! First real chance of the game.
    • 2' Gilardino smacks the ball into Knezevic's hand from two yards away and immediately screams for a penalty. No chance.
    • 1' Livorno kick off the first half.
    • 19:20 18-year-old sensation Alberto Paloschi starts up front for the Rossoneri tonight. Can he find the net again?
    • 19:00 Welcome to eurosport.yahoo.com's live text commentary of Milan v Livorno!
