    • - Join us later on for one of the highlights of the Serie A season - the Rome derby! Roma take on Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico, kicking off at 19:30 UK time - we'll have full text commentary.
    • 90+3' Jankulovski has a volley saved, but it doesn't matter because the final whistle goes! Milan nick it thanks to that dodgy Kaka penalty.
    • 90+1' Three minutes of stoppage time to play. Kaka attempts to put the result beyond doubt with a long-range volley but it is off target.
    • 90' A few Milan hearts in mouths as the ball comes into the box, but there is a foot up on Bonera and the home side can clear.
    • 88' Knocked long over the top for Pato.. but that Ronaldinho through ball would have needed more backspin than a Phil Mickelson wedge to fall to the striker.
    • 86' Five minutes to go and Chievo continue to hang around - they only need one moment of magic or a Milan error to nick a point here.
    • 82' Milan free-kick, teed up by Ronaldinho and Seedorf for JANKULOVSKI!!! His piledriver is tipped over by Sorrentino!
    • 81' Ronaldinho lobs a delicious ball towards Pato, who takes it on the bounce and shoots!! Straight at Sorrentino!
    • 78' A change for Chievo: Vincenzo Italiano replaces Marcolini.
    • 75' Kaka! Is just wide with a back header! It loops narrowly wide of the far post.
    • 72' Milan are applying all sorts of pressure, pushing forwards and looking to finish the game off.
    • 69' Kakha Kaladze hauls back Sergio Pelissier and gives away a dangerous free-kick for Chievo.... crossed straight into the arms of Abbiati!
    • 66' Pato's introduction has certainly offered something new to Milan's play - his movement is a world away from the rather static work of Inzaghi.
    • 63' Chievo take of Langella and bring on Esposito - they are making a game of this.
    • 60' First change for Milan - on comes Alexandre Pato for Filippo Inzaghi.
    • 59' GREAT SAVE ABBIATI!!! He dives full-stretch to his right to keep out a long-range blast from Bentivoglio!
    • 56' Abbiati is forced into action, punching clear a dangerous crossed Chievo free-kick.
    • 53' Down goes Kaka! He wants another penalty and again referee De Marco says no! He and the defender had their hands all over each other and it would have been a harsh award.
    • 49' Ronaldinho is lurking at the far post and Sorrentini does well to come out and nick the ball away from the Brazilian.
    • 46' The second half is under way at the San Siro!
    • 45' Half-time, and Milan are in control thanks to a goal that should never have been from Kaka.
    • 42' Milan fail to make an impact from a couple of corners but they continue to dominate possession.
    • 38' Ronaldinho wants a second penalty for a second soft challenge, but this time referee De Marco turns the appeal down.
    • 35' Mantovani delivers a looping cross from the left towards Luciano, who heads over but is penalised for a push anyway.
    • 32' Luciano goes close with a glancing header from Simone Bentivoglio's free-kick but it is straight at Abbiati.
    • 28' Milan have taken the sting out of this game - the pace has really slowed over the last few minutes.
    • 24' Kaka plays a through ball for Inzaghi who cannot help the ball in, although he does put a hole in goalkeeper Sorrentini's sock with his boot. In fact, Inzaghi is flagged offside anyway.
    • 22' Milan are knocking the ball about confidently and are in complete control of the game.
    • 19' Incidentally, Chievo defender Mandelli was booked for the 'foul' that led to the penalty. In reality, he was running a yard or so behind Kaka who took an unprovoked tumble while running into the box.
    • 18' Seedorf plays a deft low cross to the edge of the six yard box for Inzaghi, who just fails to get a touch. If he had, it would surely have been 2-0.
    • 17' Milan start to enjoy themselves with some dazzling interplay between Kaka and Ronaldinho.. they win a corner on the right side.
    • 15' Chievo are rightly furious about that and the penalty takes ages to be taken. Kaka.... GOAL!! Milan have the lead as Kaka puts it down the centre of the goal. Sorrentini dives out of the way.
    • 13' PENALTY MILAN!!! Kaka takes a massive dive and the referee buys it. He's a great player, but that is shameful from Kaka.
    • 9' Milan win a free-kick a shade over 25 yards from goal, this could be dangerous.. Ronaldinho strikes it and hits the top of the wall. Relief for Chievo.
    • 6' Chievo's Marcolini gets a bit rough with Kaka and is shown the first booking of the game.
    • 5' A Milan attack breaks down when the ball hits the ref and Chievo whack it downfield... Abbiati races out of his box and just gets there before the advancing striker!
    • 4' Ouch. Giampiero Pinzi accidentally kicks Gennaro Gattuso in the face. Right in the face. That looks incredibly painful but, Gattuso being Gattuso, he stays on his feet and wants to play on. But he may well have a broken nose there.
    • 2' Bentivoglio takes the first shot of the game for the visitors, but cannot keep his long-range volley on target.
    • 1' Game on! Milan are playing a 4-3-2-1 formation as per the graphic below. Kaka and Ronaldinho are operating behind a lone striker, the veteran Filippo Inzaghi.
    • - Welcome to LIVE coverage of Milan v Chievo from the San Siro! Carlo Ancelotti's men can return to second place with a win today, while Chievo are after their second victory of the season.
