    • - Thanks for joining us today... there's still Roma-Inter to look forward to tonight... join us then!
    • 90'+3 There goes the final whistle! And it's a day to remember for Ronaldinho as Milan run out 3-0 winners!
    • 90' GOAL! Inzaghi swoops to net his first goal of the season! It's typical Inzaghi... he pounces on a loose ball before taking the ball round Castellazzi and finishing with aplomb! 3-0 now!
    • 85' Ronaldinho is denied a hat-trick by a super save by Castellazzi!
    • 82' Oooh! Emerson fires a header just over the bar as Milan search for a third!
    • 81' But that's it for Cassano... he's taken off and replaced by Emiliano Bonazzoli.
    • 78' Milan bring on Inzaghi for Borriello.
    • 77' Cassano's still trying his socks off! He fires a shot just over the bar as he tries to drag his side back into the game.
    • 75' Time for a Milan change now... Seedorf is replaced by Emerson.
    • 71' Samp are going to make another change... off goes Ziegler and on comes Claudio Bellucci.
    • 69' Borriello! Oooh! The striker goes for a cute chip from the edge of the box! Inches over the bar!
    • 66' GOAL! Ronaldinho doubles Milan's lead by finishing off a beautiful team move! Kaka is the architect, playing the decisive pass inside to his compatriot who finishes into the far corner! 2-0 now!
    • 61' Samp have a real uphill battle on their hands now...
    • 60' Samp make a change as Marius Stankevicius comes on to replace Padalino.
    • 57' Very, very unfortunate for Samp.
    • 56' GOAL! After much deliberation, Ronaldinho steps up and scores from the spot with a perfect penalty! 1-0 Milan, although they don't really deserve it.
    • 54' PENALTY TO MILAN! Hand ball against Lucchini as Jankulovski's effort strikes his arm! And the Samp man is sent off for a second bookable! Terrible, terrible decision from the decision - Lucchini was literally a yard away from the Czech went he let fly. How could he possibly have got out of the way?
    • 53' Flamini wins the ball and sends Kaka on his way again... the crowd respond and a murmur of excitement ripples around the San Siro! But he can't deliver this time.
    • 49' Kaka cuts inside and lets fly! Deflected wide, but the Brazilian's entrance seems to have given Milan a real lift.
    • 46' KAKA! Oooh! His first touch very nearly puts Milan into the lead! In fact, it's a pretty bad miss from the Brazilian, as he nods wide of the post after a cross had found him pretty much unmarked in the Samp box! What an entrance that would have been....
    • 46' One change to tell you about... Pato has been replaced by Kaka!
    • 46' Back underway in Milan!
    • 45' There goes the half time whistle! And it's goalless at the San Siro, despite several chances at either end.
    • 44' Cassano's back up on his feet, and it looks like he'll be able to continue.
    • 43' Jankulovski goes into the book for a nasty challenge that leaves Cassano on the deck, writhing around in agony. He's eventually stretchered off the pitch, clearly in quite some discomfort. That'll be a shame if he is forced out of the game by that challenge.
    • 42' Pato and Ronaldinho link up well to carve open the Milan defence... but what a tackle from Lucchini just as Pato was about to pull the trigger!
    • 38' Cassano again! That's a great turn to get past Flamini before he brings Abbiati into action with a sharp shot from the edge of the area!
    • 36' The crowd are just beginning to get a little frustrated with their team now... they're urging them forward but the team, Seedorf in particular, are content playing the ball backwards for the time being.
    • 34' Borriello's a bit annoyed here with Pato for taking the ball off his toes as he was about to let fly... a bit of inexperience showing there on the Brazilian's behalf.
    • 30' Half an hour gone at the San Siro and still no break through...
    • 28' The ref pulls back play to brandish a yellow card to Flamini... apparently for a deliberate hand ball. But that's a ridiculous decision: Flamini's arm simply got in the way of the ball...
    • 27' Pato's quick, very quick. He uses all his pace to get away from Sammarco in midfield... but nothing comes of the break this time.
    • 26' Cassano is showing real glimpses of genius today... here's another - a little backheel for Padalino... but his team-mate's control is poor and the ball runs out for a goal kick.
    • 25' Maldini is caught in possession by Padalino... but the veteran recovers to make a crucial challenge... at the expense of another Samp corner though.
    • 24' Lucchini joins Bottinelli in the book for a cheeky trip on Pato...
    • 23' Brilliant run from Jankulovski... he outmuscles a defender before playing a one-two with Ronaldinho... he's in on goal! But his shot is straight at a rather grateful Castellazzi!
    • 21' Oooh! Del Vecchio launches a sublime overhead kick from the edge of the box - a bit like Wigan striker Amr Zaki's against Liverpool yesterday - but it flies just the wrong side of the post! Super effort.
    • 19' Super play from Cassano once again... he wins another corner for Samp...
    • 18' Inzaghi's up on his feet in the dugout, shouting instructions to his team-mates... who does he think he is? Carlo Ancelotti?
    • 17' Ronaldinho wins a free kick this time... and Bottinelli goes into the book for his misdemeanour. First of the game, although replays show it to be a slightly harsh decision.
    • 15' Padalino bursts forward... he lets fly! Blocked this time, but Samp are looking good at the moment!
    • 14' Samp are enjoying the better of possession at the moment...
    • 12' Ronaldinho hits the deck - not for the first time today - but the referee's not buying into this one. Play on!
    • 10' Padalino bursts down the right hand side now, but his pass intended for Cassano never reaches its target and the move breaks down.
    • 8' Samp win a corner... Bottinelli heads just wide from it! Good little period of play from the visitors at the moment.
    • 7' Another brilliant pass from Cassano, this time a first time cross-field volley which hits its mark without an inch to spare.
    • 6' Cassano slips a beautiful pass through for Lucchini who runs on to it and fires goalwards with a first time shot! Abbiati makes the save! Menacing from Samp there....
    • 5' And now Seedorf sees an attempted cross deflected behind for the first corner of the day.... nothing comes of it.
    • 4' But here's a bit of space for Pato! He lets off a shot, but it's well blocked by Bottinelli.
    • 4' Bottinelli piles into the back of Borriello moments before Pato is felled by Lucchini... a scrappy opening so far.
    • 3' Bright sunshine in Milan today... perfect playing conditons.
    • 2' Milan in their traditional rossoneri colours today, while Samp are in white shirts and socks, with blue shorts.
    • 1' He we go! Underway in the Milan suburb of San Siro!
    • - And loose cannon Antonio Cassano leads the line for Samp... he's always worth keeping tabs on, just in case he does something spectacular - or silly.
    • - No Kaka for Milan today - he's out injured - but don't worry, you can still get your fill of Brazilian flair thanks to the presence of Ronaldinho and Pato.
    • - Hello and welcome to eurosport.com's LIVE coverage of today's big game in Serie A! It's resurgent Milan against struggling Sampdoria at the San Siro!
