  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Palermo
    • Milan
    • 90' ALL OVER AT PALERMO!!! Milan have been humbled here and miss the chance to close the gap on their city rivals Internazionale.
    • 85' Milan are throwing everything at this now, but Palermo are holding firm. Gianluca Zambrotta bursts forward and smashes a shot on target...Amelia saves!
    • 83' GOOOOOAAAAALLLL!!!! Ronaldinho goes the other way this time. Amelia guesses right, but he can't quite get his fingers to it. 3-1!
    • 82' PENALTY MILAN!!! Ronaldinho tries to beat about 15 players and eventually goes to ground under a clumsy tackle..
    • 80' GOOOOOAAAAALLLL!!!!! Frederico Balzaretti sends over a cross from the left and SIMPLICIO HEADS HOME WITH EASE!!! 3-0 to PALERMO!!!
    • 76' Morris Carrozzieri crunches into Ronaldinho and earns himself a booking. The Brazilian wastes the resultant free-kick.
    • 71' Lovely link up between Clarence Seedorf and Shevchenko, but the Ukrainian can't quite get to the final ball and Amelia robs him.
    • 69' Miccoli has been absolutely outstanding for Palermo. Milan have not be able to cope with his movement.
    • 64' Free-kick to Milan, fully 35 yards out. Andrea Pirlo hits one, and it brings a sharp save from Amelia.
    • 59' GOOOAAALLLL!!!! LIVERANI PLAYS A DIAGONAL BALL INTO THE BOX AND EDISON CAVANI HEADS HOME!!!! Cavani was fully 15 yards out, but he looped his header superbly back across goal and beyond the despairing reach of Abbiati.
    • 56' Massimo Ambrosini and Mathieu Flamini are replaced by Andriy Shevchenko and Emerson for Milan.
    • 54' Milan look shell-shocked. Palermo deserve their lead and have been the better side so far.
    • 49' GOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLL!!!!! MICCOLI CUTS IN FROM THE LEFT AND SMASHES A SHOT INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER TO PUT PALERMO AHEAD!!! What a strike from the forward, who has deserved a goal for his exuberant performance.
    • 46' Away we go with the second half and there are no further changes to report from other side.
    • 45' Inzaghi wins a free-kick on the right edge of the box. Up steps Ronaldinho...HITS THE BAR!!! What an effort from the mercurial Brazilian!! With that comes the half-time whistle. It's been an entertaining first period, let's hope for more of the same in the second!
    • 41' MICCOLI...STILL MICCOLI...not this time! What a run from the striker, but he waited too long before pulling the trigger and Milan cleared their lines.
    • 37' Palermo continue to impress with their neat inter-play and positive approach. Milan have their work cut out here.
    • 33' After that flurry of activity it's all gone a bit quiet to be honest. Milan are trying to compose themselves.
    • 29' Pato can't continue for Milan, and is replaced by the goal-scoring machine that is Filippo Inzaghi.
    • 27' RONALDINHO GOES LOW TO THE RIGHT AND AMELIA MAKES THE SAVE!!!
    • 26' PENALTY TO MILAN!!! Pato gets in before Amelia and the keeper proceeds to floor him with a tackle that would not have looked out of place at Twickenham.
    • 21' MICCOLI CRACKS ONE FROM 20 YARDS!!! Another fine effort for Palermo, but once again Abbiati dives to make the save.
    • 18' MICCOLI hits one from 25 yards and this time Abbiati is forced into a sharp save, diving to his right.
    • 17' Alexandre Pato catches the Palermo defence napping and finds himself clean on goal, but the striker is denied by a sharp save from Marco Amelia!
    • 14' Milan have a corner on their left. Ronaldinho takes it short then whips it...DANIELE BONERA SHOOTS, but he can't get the power necessary and the ball skids behind for a goal-kick.
    • 10' Ronaldinho has been a peripheral figure so far, but the Brazilian is beginning to get himself on the ball.
    • 7' Miccoli swings over a free-kick from the left and Henrique Simplicio leaps well to head just past the post. It's all Palermo so far.
    • 5' Palermo are not shy of having a shy tonight. Antonio Nocerino tries one from 30 yards, but once again Abbiati is not overly concerned.
    • 3' Fabrizio Miccoli lets rip with a long-range effort early on, put Christian Abbiati gathers with comfort in the Milan goal.
    • 1' And we're off at the Renzo Barbera, with Milan in their traditional black and red and Palermo in that striking pink kit that everybody loves.
    • - Following Inter's win earlier today, Milan enter this match six points adrift of their city rivals, but with a game in hand. Mid-table Palermo should not pose too much trouble, but this is Serie A, and you just never know what could happen. Sit tight, here's hoping for a dumdinger.
