    • - Thanks for joining us today... there's a full programme of midweek fixtures to enjoy so make sure you join us again on Wednesday! Until then.
    • 90'+3 And that's pretty much the last action of the night... there goes the final whistle and Milan are up and running!
    • 90'+1 Off the bar from Ronaldinho! The Brazilian's effort takes a hefty deflection to fool Carrizo but the woodwork denies him a goal!
    • 85' These final few minutes will be a stroll for Milan now... and Ronaldinho proves it with a lovely back heel for his mate Kaka to run on to!
    • 78' And Lazio take Brocchi off and throw Di Silvestre on for Lazion.
    • 78' Gattuso is taken off and replaced by Emerson.
    • 77' What a save from Abbiati! Pandev outmuscles Ambrosini to fashion a shooting opportunity in the Milan box... he strikes it well but Abbiati somehow turns it over the bar!
    • 75' Jankulovski goes in hard on Lichsteiner... and he earns a booking for his challenge.
    • 74' Borriello forces a save out of Carrizo with a sharp first-time strike from Ronaldinho's through pass!
    • 71' It's Pato who's sacrificed for the former world player of the year... Ronaldinho runs on with a huge smile on his face.
    • 69' Ronaldinho's about to come on, and the crowd like that!
    • 68' Lazio make another change... Meghni comes on for Matuzalem.
    • 65' Here comes Flamini... goalscorer Seedorf makes way the former Arsenal man.
    • 63' Lazio coach Delio Rossi makes a first change of the evening... Foggia for Mauri.
    • 60' GOAL! It's another for Milan and this time's it's an exquisite strike from Kaka! The Brazilian bends one in from 30 yards out, leaving Carrizo no chance! He makes it look so easy... 4-1 to Milan now!
    • 57' Kaladze goes into the book for tugging the flying Zarate back...
    • 56' Kaka tries to bend one round Carrizo! But the Lazio keeper is equal to it... he gets a big hand on it and Milan have a corner.
    • 54' And there's Ronaldinho hitting the touchline... that's quite some bench Milan can go to if necessary. Altough they don't really need their replacements at the moment.
    • 52' Both Flamini and Shevchenko are warming up on the sidelines...
    • 49' GOAL! Milan go 3-1 up through a magnificent diving header from Pato! The Brazilian swoops to nod Jankulovski's cross past Carrizo in the Lazio net and Milan now have a two-goal cushion.
    • 48' Zambrotta steals in behind the Lazio defence... real chance for him to deliver a good cross... but he overhits it by a mile and the chance goes begging!
    • 46' Back underway at the San Siro!
    • 45'+2 And that's the last action of the first half... Milan head in at the break 2-1 up!
    • 45'+1 Kolorov steps up to the free kick... but his effort is well over the bar.
    • 45' Pandev is upended by Ambrosini and Lazio have a free kick with time running out in the first half.
    • 40' Milan break again... Borriello lays of for Kaka! But this the Brazilian's aim is way off and the ball balloons into the crowd behind the Lazio goal.
    • 35' GOAL! WHAT A STRIKE FROM ZAMBROTTA! He must have a foot like a traction engine, to quote a famous sports broadcaster! The Italy international picks the ball up, advances a few yards and then lets fly with an absolute screamer from 35 yards out! It flies past Carrizo and into the corner of the Lazio net! And Milan have the lead again!
    • 34' Zarate looks like he's injured here... it was Ambrosini who caught him, albeit inadvertantly. He'll be fine.
    • 32' Brilliant from Kaka! He skips past Lichsteiner and into the Lazio box... but he slices his shot somewhat and Carrizo isn't troubled!
    • 30' Borriello leaps high but he can't quite meet Seedorf's far post cross with his head...
    • 28' Great response from Pato! He wins the ball and jinks into the box before firing goalwards! Carrizo gets down well to make the save!
    • 26' GOAL! Zarate levels things up with a super finish! Pandev slips through a great pass for the Argentinian to run on to... his first touch is good and his second beats Abbiati at his near post! 1-1 now!
    • 22' Good take from Abbiati despite Mauri's teasing centre...
    • 19' Kolorov centres for Pandev who turns the ball goalwards! Abbiati saves well, but the flag is up for offside and it wouldn't have counted anyway.
    • 17' Super control from Mauri on the edge of the Milan box to tee up an effort on goal! But it's straight at Abbiati, who saves without fuss.
    • 14' Kolorov gets a head to a Lazio corner... but the ball rather skids off the top of his head and the danger passes.
    • 9' What a start for Milan - and how they needed an early goal to settle the crowd.
    • 8' GOAL! Milan take the lead! What a goal it is from Seedorf! The Dutchman plays a wall pass off Ledesma's chest before bursting into the box and firing into the roof of the net! If he meant to play that off Ledesma, it was pure genius! If not, no matter, Milan lead 1-0!
    • 3' Milan win an early corner... Seedorf to take... he goes short to Ambrosini, who give it back... Seedorf delivers into the box! Borriello's there, but the ball ends up falling kindly for Carrizo, who claims!
    • 1' Here we go! Underway at the San Siro!
