    • - Thanks for joining us today... no coverage of tonight's late game so join us next weekend for more Serie A action!
    • 90'+2 There goes the whistle and Milan claim an important victory!
    • 82' Milan are just playing keepball now as they look to close out the game.
    • 74' Oooh! Chance at the other end as Mascara sends a header goalwards! Abbiati gets down well to make the save!
    • 72' Oooh! Sheva nearly makes it two! Kaka centres to the far post, but his strike partner can't quite reach it!
    • 65' GOAL! FROM THE CORNER MILAN TAKE THE LEAD! Kaka jumps highest to nod the ball goalwards... Shevchenko sticks out a boot, as does Stovini, as the ball crosses the line! Not sure who gets the final touch, but no mater... Milan lead 1-0!
    • 64' Oooh! Pato unleashes a screamer of a free-kick which is destined for the top corner until Bizzarri reaches out a palm to divert the ball behind for a corner!
    • 56' Awful throw out by Bizzarri! Straight to Sheva! But the Ukranian delays his pass to Pato in the middle a fraction too long, allowing Terlizzi to get back and make the clearance!
    • 49' Senderos is warming up on the sidelines... is the Swiss about to make an entrance?
    • 47' Oooh! Nearly brilliant by Kaka! He drags the ball back on the edge of the area before attempting a curler into the top left hand corner! Inches wide!
    • 46' One change to tell you about after the break... Favalli has replaced Emerson, who was unable to shake off that knock he picked up early on.
    • 46' Catania get things back underway at the San Siro!
    • 45'+1 There goes the half-time whislte and it's goalless at the break in Milan!
    • 43' Pato is shown a yellow card for diving! That's brave refereeing, but there's no real complaints from Milan players. Guilty as charged.
    • 37' Real chance for Milan as they break with Kaka! He feeds Sheva to his left, but the final ball back across the face of goal is deflected out of Flamini's reach by Mascara!
    • 33' Yellow card for Carboni for challenge on Kaka to follow that of Sardo moments earlier.
    • 29' Sheva gets a little bit of space now on the right hand side... but his cross is woeful and nothing comes of the good position.
    • 24' Pato lets fly now! And again Bizzarri is called into action, although this time it's easy for the Argentine keeper!
    • 23' Kaka! It opens up for the Brazilian so he strikes at goal! Bizzarri is equal to it, batting the ball behind for another Milan corner!
    • 21' Emerson stays down after an aerial challenge involving Ledesma and his own team-mate Flamini.
    • 17' Oooh! Emerson heads inches over the bar from Kaka's corner! Poor defending from the visitors there...
    • 14' And then Kaka forces another save from Bizzarri! The Catania keeper tips the ball around the post for a corner! Great action at San Siro!
    • 13' OFF THE POST! What an effort by Mascara! He unleashes a brilliant effort from 25 yards out which cannons back off the upright!
    • 12' Moments later Gattuso fires goalwards and Bizzarri is again forced into action!
    • 11' Oooh! Maldini nearly gives Milan the lead! Bizzarri pulls out a brilliant save to stop the veteran's first time effort from Pato's ball in! The keeper gets down low to his right to palm the ball away to safety!
    • 7' Gattuso is back on... and Milan are back to a full compliment.
    • 6' SHEVCHENKO! Oooh! He stoops to meet a cross with a header which flies just over the bar!
    • 4' Gattuso has a problem here! He slides in to make a challenge but gets his foot caught under his body! Initially it looks serious, but he manages to get up of his own accord and hobble off to the sidelines.
    • 2' Shevchenko plays today - his third start on the trot!
    • 1' Underway at San Siro!
    • - Hello and welcome to this afternoon's coverage of Milan's clash with Catania!
