    Time:90'
    • Milan
    • Genoa
    • 90'+3 Milito goes on a late run for Genoa. Maldini wins the ball but Milito goes down as if he's been shot. Free kick for Genoa 20 yards out... This would be a winner - but Jankovic fires tamely into the wall.. And it's all over! Genoa have snatched a point at the San Siro. Final score: Milan 1 Genoa 1
    • 90'+2 Genoa's Giuseppe Biava is limping now. Time's almost up.
    • 90' There's three minutes of stoppage time. Can either side pull a winner out of the box?
    • 89' We're in the final few minutes. Milan look stunned, Genoa's tails are up. Flamini brings down Criscito and he won't be getting up for a while in an attempt to run the clock down.
    • 87' GOAL GENOA!!!! The ball is hooked back into the Milan box, Milito looks to be in an offside position, but he sweeps the ball home. Joy for Genoa!!
    • 85' But not like that! A ball in the Milan box goes all the way through to Palladino. There's no one near him but he swings rashly at the ball and scuffs it. It's not even near the Milan goal!
    • 83' Kaka is begining to look isolated as Genoa press. The visitors believe there's still a point to be gained in this match.
    • 81' Great save by Abbiati! Palldino sends in an inch-perfect cross for Jankovic. He's six yards out and can't belive that the Milan stopper prevented what looked a certain equaliser for Genoa!
    • 79' It's the final change for Milan. Philippe Senderos is on for Seedorf.
    • 77' Genoa have conceded another free kick. Similar angle to where Beckham scored. There's no Beckham on the pitch but who needs him? Ronaldinho pulls a great save out of Rubinho at the far post.
    • 76' It's been a half of few chances. The game is more even now and the Milan fans groan as Flamini fails to gather a pass.
    • 75' Another sub for Milan. On comes Ronaldinho for Pato. Genoa probably won't be too pleased by the change.
    • 72' Domenico Criscito almost finds a way through the Milan defence. It's a Genoa corner...headed over the bar. And there in the shadows of the San Siro is Fabio Capello. Has Becks done enough for his 108th cap against Spain?
    • 71' The first change for Milan. Goalscorer Beckham is off, replaced by Mathieu Flamini.
    • 70' Zambrotta heads behind his own lines for a Genoa corner..It's an awful one and Milan carry the ball out of danger.
    • 68' Milan are still enjoying the lion's share of the possession, but Genoa are beginning to come into the game.
    • 66' Genoa get down the Milan right for almost the first time in the match, the ball finds Vanden Borre, but he can't get over the ball and shanks it. Milan clear.
    • 64' Another sub for Genoa, with only 19 minutes of the second half played. Giuseppe Sculli is off and Raffaele Palladino is on.
    • 63' Kaka and Beckham attempt a one-two, the ball bounces off the unlucky Beckham and it's out for a goal kick.
    • 61' Good skill by Pato who hooks the ball over his head, beating two men. Milan are looking so comfortable on the ball. It doesn't bode well for Genoa at the moment.
    • 60' Once again it's a free kick to Milan. This one, though. comes to nothing.
    • 58' Jankovioc finds Vanden Borre. The Belgian has a good sight of goal, only to fire straight at the waiting Abbiati in the Milan goal.
    • 57' Beckham and Kaka are linking well. Milan are testing the Genoa backine. The visitors clear their lines again only for the ball to be fired back at them. Relief for Genoa as Seedorf gives away a goal kick.
    • 55' Beckham takes the corner. Pato rises, but mistimes the header and Genoa gain possession.
    • 54' Another Genoa attack breaks down in the final third. Milan break and Kaka wins a corner off Mesto.
    • 53' Late challenge on Beckham. The San Siro faithful are incensed. Nothing given and the howls get louder as Seedorf is clattered.
    • 50' Kaka is knocked off the ball, Genoa have it midway in the Milan half, but there's no way through. The ball is back in Genoa territory. A great run by Pato, but a fortunate bounce gives Genoa the goal kick.
    • 48' Kaka is brought down by Giandomenico Mesto. Another free kick to Milan...the ball pings around the Genoa box and is eventually thumped clear.
    • 47' Omar Milanetto tries to get Jankovic away but Jankovic gives away the free kick to Milan.
    • 46' And the second half gets underway at the San Siro.
    • 45'+2 And it's half time. Milan lead 1-0 at the break.
    • 45' Another substitution for Genoa. Vanden Borre is on for Thiago Motta.
    • 44' And right up the other end. It's a free kick to Milan. Pirlo takes it, it hits the bar, although Rubinho had it covered.
    • 41' Thiago Motta is stopped illegally by Gianluca Zambrotta. Another yard and that would have been a penalty. It's a free kick 18 yards out...Motta takes a low left foot drive. Well saved by Christian Abbiati.
    • 39' It's an early substitution for Genoa. Francesco Modesto is off and Bosko Jankovic is on. Modesto appears to be fine, must be a tactical switch.
    • 36' Maldini misplaces a pass and it's a Genoa throw. Milito receives the ball and races away but he's taken the ball over the touchline.
    • 33' GOAL MILAN!!! Beckham takes the free kick, the Genoa defence are expecting the cross. Becks spots a gaping hole at the near post and blasts the ball home. Great strike! Are you watching Mr Capello?
    • 32' Now Pato hits the deck. Another free kick in a dangerous place. Beckham is over the ball...
    • 31' Milito seems to be the only Genoa target, but Paolo Maldini shields the ball out for a goal kick.
    • 30' Beckham comes sliding in hard and gets nowhere near the ball. Free kick Genoa in their own half.
    • 25' Milito wins a corner for Genoa. Juric prepares to take it...It's delivered to the near post, Salvatore Bocchetti climbs highest only to head wide.
    • 24' Kaka and Seedorf link up on the left, Kaka goes down under a challenge and looks affronted as the ref waves play on.
    • 22' Milan continue to probe, but the Genoa defence is holding firm. Pirlo is brought down by Milito who insists he got the ball, but the free kick comes to nothing.
    • 18' Genoa can find no rhythm and are knocking the ball long, but it's coming straight back at them. Surely it can't be long until Milan break the deadlock.
    • 15' Juric again with a clumsy challenge brings down Massimo Ambrosini in a dangerous position. It's central and 30 yards out...Pirlo crashes the free kick against the bar! And the Milanese follow up is well over.
    • 11' Beckham is all over the pitch. He pops up on the left flank this time. The Brazilian Pato almost gets through on goal. Offside says the assistant.
    • 10' Beckham on his familiar right hand side tries to send in a trademark cross - but it's blocked and safe in the arms of Rubinho.
    • 8' Free kick to Genoa after Motta is taken down. It's about 30 yards out. Diego Milito takes it right-footed but it's over the bar.
    • 7' Genoa finally have some possession, but the ball is cleared by the Rossoneri defence.
    • 6' Kaka tries to wriggle through the Genoa backline but is halted.
    • 5' Another Genoa foul, Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti is off the bench complaining.
    • 4' It's all Milan at the start. Genoa have barely touched the ball.
    • 3' Clarence Seedorf is clattered off the ball by Ivan Juric. Free kick to Milan but the ball is safely gathered by Rubinho in the Genoa goal.
    • 1' And we're underway. The ball goes straight to Beckham who smashes a 25-yarder -just pushed past the post by Rubinho. Almost a great start for Becks.
