    Time:90'
    • Milan
    • Reggina
    • 90+6' That's full-time and Milan have been held at home. Inter are now eight points clear at the top of Serie A!
    • 90+6' CORRADI!! Reggina come away on the break and the former Manchester City man fires a left-foot shot just wide! What a smash-and-grab raid that would have been!
    • 90+5' Reggina clear it with another fine last-ditch tackle and that is surely the end of Milan's hopes.
    • 90+3' PATO!!! He has a chance to win it but slices his volley high over the bar!
    • 90+1' Bruno Cirillo comes on for Cozza. There will be FIVE minutes of stoppage time!
    • 90' Into the final minute of normal time. Beckham appears to be fouled clearly, but the referee awards Reggina a throw!
    • 87' Cozza is also injured for Reggina and he gets stretchered off.
    • 86' Carmona flies into a wild challenge on Zambrotta and is booked - the Reggina man comes off worse from that and stays down.
    • 84' Time is ticking down and Milan are running out of opportunities to win this. They win another free-kick inside the Reggina half.
    • 84' Seedorf tries a Van Basten-esque volley from the left side of the box, but the ball dips wide.
    • 81' Beckham has seen a lot of the ball today, and he delivers yet another cross from the right.. Campagnolo makes a good catch.
    • 78' BECKHAM!! Into the wall! Although as he hit that rubbish free-kick the news broke that he is back in the England squad. So too are James Milner and... (wait for it)... Carlton Cole.
    • 77' There is a short stoppage while Antonini comes on for Milan. Kaka goes off - he's hobbling a little but it doesn't seem to be anything serious.
    • 76' Pato is brought down just outside the box and this is a free-kick in a very promising position for Milan. David Beckham grabs the ball.
    • 73' Beckham finds the head of Inzaghi, whose glanced header is never in danger of finding the net.
    • 70' Felipe Inzaghi is sniffing around in the Reggina box. He might be a geriatric, but he is a dangerous character.
    • 67' Kaka steps up... GOOOOLLL!! He sends Campagnolo the wrong way and Milan are on terms.
    • 66' PENALTY! Krajcik upends Pato and the referee points to the spot!
    • 65' Another change for Milan - Filippo Inzaghi replaces Ronaldinho.
    • 64' Beckham delivers and finds the forehead of Maldini, whose glancing header is straight at Campagnolo.
    • 63' Cozza brings down Flamini and is unlucky to be booked. Beckham will deliver the free-kick into the box.
    • 60' GOAL DISALLOWED!! Kaka lifts the ball on to the post, Seedorf tucks away the rebound but the Dutchman is adjudged to have handled. Good decision - even if the Milan players surround the referee.
    • 58' A change from Reggina now, with Sestu replacing Di Gennaro.
    • 56' On comes Clarence Seedorf for Massimo Ambrosini, who has not had a great game.
    • 54' Kaka charges into the box and winds up to shoot - but his sidefoot effort is very weak and Campagnolo saves.
    • 52' Ronaldinho gets the ball 25 yards out and has the chance to curl it into the top corner, but takes one touch too many and he loses the ball.
    • 49' Jankulovski might be asking a bit much of his 40-year-old skipper with that ball to the left byline.. Maldini cannot reach it.
    • 46' Second half under way and immediately the visitors win a corner.
    • - Have Milan had a sign put in just for Becks? The door leading to the pitch has Italian writing then, below it, "Players exit to the field". Most considerate.
    • 45+2' Half-time in an entertaining encounter and Milan trail. They have their work cut out after the break.
    • 45' Ambrosini goes over in the box.. Milan want a penalty but the ref says no foul!
    • 44' Beckham crosses for Pato 12 yards out who controls, turns and sees his shot deflected over for a corner.
    • 41' It is a slight sign of desperation to be booked for time-wasting in the first half, but that is exactly what has happened to Reggina keeper Andrea Campagnolo.
    • 40' So close Ronaldinho!! He carries the ball 40 yards, beats three players and bends the ball just wide!
    • 37' Zambrotta cracks a long shot just over from 25 yards.
    • 35' Pato is adjudged to have committed a foul, and he reacts with just about the stroppiest face you will ever see. Milan have had 70 per cent possession, incidentally.
    • 33' GOOOOOOOLLLL!!! Davide Di Gennaro lashes home a low shot from the edge of the box and Reggina are in front completely against the run of play!!
    • 31' BECKHAM!! Fires an inswinging free-kick at goal and it is glanced behind for a corner!
    • 30' Krajcik decks Maldini with a bodycheck, which is the Italian equivalent of punching the queen.
    • 29' Beckham delivers an inswinging cross from the right and nearly picks out Pato in the six-yard area.
    • 27' Ronaldinho plays another pinpoint pass. He is playing extremely well. And it is slightly sad that I type that with an element of surprise.
    • 24' Yellow card Daniele Bonera for a really clumsy challenge. Of all the great centre-backs Milan have had - Bonera isn't one of them.
    • 22' Milan continue to press, with a powerful Jankulovski driving bringing another fine save from Campagnolo.
    • 19' Campagnolo is forced into a double save from Pato and Ambrosini!
    • 17' The news this evening is that LA Galaxy have rejected a $10m offer from Milan for Beckham, but they have invited an improved bid from the Rossoneri. Meanwhile Ronaldinho uses a remarkable piece of skill to beat his man, almost pivoting around him like a basketball player.
    • 15' Ronaldinho crosses to Beckham in space on the left side of the box, but the ball bounces off his knee and goes out for a goal kick. Not good.
    • 13' A Beckham corner is half-cleared and played back into the area for Kaka, who chests it up and sends an overhead kick bobbling wide.
    • 11' Horribly, massively wrong on the Campagnolo front. It would seem to be a make of bicycle. Campanile is a bell tower.
    • 9' Jankulovski lets fly from 30 yards out on the Milan left and his low shot brings a decent save from Campagnolo, whose name means 'bell tower'. I think.
    • 6' A very quiet, cagey opening from both sides. Beckham receives a crossfield ball from Ronaldinho and crosses into the area, but Campagnolo catches.
    • 3' There is a female linesman running along Milan's right flank next to David Beckham. The TV cameras keep focussing on her, presumably expecting her to swoon at the great man's very presence.
    • 1' Welcome to LIVE coverage of Milan versus Reggina from the San Siro! David Beckham starts, as do Kaka, Ronaldinho and Pato. It should be a good one.
