    • 90 The full-time whistle blows on an uninspiring but vital victory for Milan. Despite missing both Kaka and Pato, and starting with Seedorf on the bench, the home side put in the hard graft and finish today's clash with all 3 points.
    • 82 And it's a RED CARD for Vergasallo after yet another frustrated, dangerous tackle on Inzaghi.
    • 80 Ambrosini is booked for a late challenge and the visitors' frustration is beginning to be apparent.
    • 73 Substitution for Siena. Jarolim OFF, Kharja ON.
    • 64 GOAL! MILAN! It's the super-sub PALOSCHI, who's been on the pitch for about a minute! He shoots diagonally from outside the area and past the helpless Manninger. 1-0 Milan!
    • 63 Milan substitution. Serginho OFF, Paloschi ON.
    • 51 SIENA STRIKE THE POST! Locatelli crosses and Frick blasts against the post. Milan are completely rattled!
    • 47 Lucatelli puts in a dangerous cross towards Maccarone in the area, but Ambrosini is equal to it and clears the danger.
    • 46 The second half begins and a double substitution to report for Milan. Ronaldo OFF, Seedorf ON and Nesta OFF, Bonera ON.
    • 45 The whistle blows on an uneventful, tepid first half. Milan are clearly missing both Kaka and the new kid on the block, Alexandre Pato.
    • 38 Siena forward FRICK is shown a yellow for a dangerous challenge on Jankulovski.
    • 28 MALDINI goes in the book for a dodgy challenge on Maccarone.
    • 23 Ambrosini puts in a dangerous header from Cafu's cross, but Manninger is equal to it. The deadlock really needs to be broken here for the game to open up.
    • 13 DISALLOWED GOAL - SIENA. Locatelli's strike is disallowed for offside, but it's not clearcut. Needless to say Siena aren't happy.
    • 9 Here they go again - this time it's veteran Cafu who gets a cross in but Inzaghi heads straight at Manninger.
    • 7 At last - a Milan attack! Inzaghi piles into the area and forces a save from Manninger to earn the home side a corner.
    • 6 The early pressure comes from the visitors. Kalac pulls off a good save from Frick.
    • 1 The match is underway. Siena kick off.
    • - Brazilian goalkeeper Dida warms the bench while Australian ÂŽeljko Kalac takes his place between the sticks. The teams are making their way on to the pitch.
    • - The team-sheets are in, and there's no Kaka! Milan: Kalac, Cafu, Nesta, Maldini, Jankulovski, Brocchi, Ambrosini, Pirlo, Serginho, Ronaldo, Inzaghi Siena: Manninger, Rossettini, Portanova, Loria, De Ceglie, Jarolim, Codrea, Vergassola, Maccarone, Frick
    • - Milan are in the ascendancy, with three straight wins moving them up to 5th spot in Serie A. Last weekend they won at Fiorentina, but lost new Brazilian ace Alexandre Pato to an ankle injury. Siena, meanwhile, put in an epic performance to beat Roma 3-0 last Sunday. They currently sit in 16th place.
