    Time:90'
    • Reggina
    • Milan
    • 90+4 And that is the end, a vital win for Milan building on their demolition of Lazio at the weekend. Next up Inter!
    • 90+3 Seedorf comes forward, they have men over here, he goes inside to Kaka and Seedorf slips wide left on the overlap and Kaka finds him but he fires wide! Shevchenko was waiting in the box too.
    • 90+2 Corradi thinks there was a foul in the Milan half but his appeal is half-hearted.
    • 90' FOUR minutes of stoppage time! Calciopoli has really made Milan unpopular. Only messing.
    • 89' Good break by Reggina, slide wide to Ceravolo on the left, he beats Zambrotta and he can cut it back across goal but he has a shot himself! Side-netting! Should have squared it!
    • 88' REGGINA SUB: Alvarez comes in for Reggina, one final punt at an equaliser.
    • 86' Almost a lovely piece of play by Milan who, while deciding whether to play keep-ball or score another, knock it about casually and slowly on the edge of the box, almost playing Kaka and then Emerson in.
    • 84' MILAN SUB: As Reggina waste another free-kick, Emerson comes on for Pato.
    • 82' Ambrosini fouls Barreto as Emerson prepares to come on and shore things up for Milan.
    • 80' Promising move for Reggina as Halfredsson gets on the ball but his pass is too long. Milan give the throw away though but the shot from distance is weak and into Abbiati's arms.
    • 78' Shevchenko is booked for a forward's challenge on Costa.
    • 75 Reggina come forward, Milan make a mess of defending it and the ball drops to Halfredsson on the edge of the box but he has to work it onto his left and Milan get the block in. Still with Reggina, Costa on the left, back to Halfredsson who crosses but Corradi is too deep.
    • 73' Zambrotta launches it down the right, Kaka with a superb turn of pace chases the ball to the corner and while in mid-flight flicks a superb first-time ball to the edge of the box AND PATO SMASHES A LOW DRIVE INTO THE BOTTOM RIGHT FOR 2-1! Milan score a classic counter-attacking goal.
    • 72' Kaka on the ball, he wriggles away from two Reggina players and feeds Pato, who beats his man and works some space with a great bit of skill but he shoots at Campagnolo!
    • 71' Milan have started to get a lot more of the ball as they play camped in the Reggina half. Ball into the box, Pato is being fouled surely, but play on and it rebounds off Shevchenko and just wide!
    • 70' Milan win a corner, it's cleared to Favalli who has a shot but well, well over.
    • 68' Brienza goes on a mazy dribble down the left, he tries to work a shot but is pushed wide, the attempted cross rebounds off a Milan player to Costa, who cuts inside and has loads of time but drills a weak, low shot into the arms of Abbiati. His team-mates are not happy.
    • 67' Ambrosini to Kaka, who stands it up in style and finds Ambrosini again, wide to Seedorf who looks for Sheva but can't find him, he does in the end and they play a one-two but Reggina clear and Corradi can break, but a good challenge from Kaladze. Enthralling stuff but few chances.
    • 65' Kaka with a clumsy foul after losing the ball, Milan are starting to get frustrated.
    • 64' Reggina sense blood now and are pushing for a second, camped on the edge of the Milan box but eventually the Rossoneri get it clear.
    • 62' Milan win a free-kick, handball, taken short, flicked to Shevchenko coming forward but he runs it out for a goal-kick. He thought he had won a corner, and so did I.
    • 60' Free-kick to Reggina then, on the right, as Shevchenko takes to the pitch. An odd time to make a change, no? Anyway, it's sent to the far post AND SANTOS GETS A GOOD HEAD ACROSS GOAL AND IT COMES OFF FOR A DEFENDER FOR CORRADI TO POKE HOME! 1-1! Reggina level, and they have deserved it.
    • 60' MILAN SUB: Borriello is hurt and off for Shevchenko.
    • 58' The free-kick causes some havoc in the box but Milan clear. The second ball is given away and Milan can break here, Flamini finds Kaka and this could be a second but Borriello makes a mess of it on the edge of the box and Reggina survive.
    • 56' ... Seedorf goes over to speak to the ref and it was Flamini with the tackle, so he'll be off. But Seedorf manages him to talk him out of it and it's a free-kick. Would have been harsh, as Flamini seemed to win the ball.
    • 55' A restless but jovial-looking Ronaldinho is warming up on the bench. Rough challenge on the left wing, Costa is taken out and it's a card...
    • 54' Berreto penalised for a strong challenge on Favalli in the centre-circle.
    • 52' Borriello goes in with an arm raised but gets away with it.
    • 50' Halfredsson gets the ball some way out and he has a crack but sends it quite a way over.
    • 48' Kaladze with a good tackle on Brienza stopping him from having a crack on goal.
    • 46' Second-half underway!
    • 45+2 Gattuso gives everyone a hug after kicking-off, they go down the tunnel all friendly again and it's 1-0 to Milan at the break.
    • 45+1 Abbiati booked for time-wasting. The ref blows for half-time straight after the kick, and Gattuso is kicking off for a tackle in the middle of the park.
    • 45' Reggina get a free-kick around 35 yards out but it's prevented from being taken quickly. No card though. It's sent wide into the left but no-one's there, another dreadful free-kick and to compound things the man who chases it down was offside. Oh dear.
    • 44' Much better from Reggina now, as Costa and Hallfredsson again combine but the latter can't get the shot away.
    • 43' Good break from Reggina, Hallfredsson gets the ball and takes a touch and drills in a low shot that is just wide!
    • 40' Milan do not clear the corner and it's back on the edge of the box for Costa who clips a delightful ball into the area and Brienza is unmarked AND HE DRILLS IT LOW ACROSS GOAL FOR CORRADI but it's just behind him! Milan survive, but they're hanging on here!
    • 39' The ball is dug out from the left, nice high cross flicked on by LANZARO AND CORRADI UNMARKED AT THE FAR POST BUT HE DOESN'T REACT QUICK ENOUGH AND ABBIATI GETS BACK TO BLOCK THE FINISH! Should have been the equaliser, instead it's a corner.
    • 37' Corradi flicks it wide to Brienza, who skins the full-back Favalli and whips in a low cross for Corradi but intercepted just as he pulled the trigger! Corradi took out Bonera there as well, but play on says the ref.
    • 35' Flamini could easily have seen a second yellow card there. He went in for a header with his arms up and is lucky not to be walking.
    • 31' Mistake from the Reggina defence and Milan break, Kaka now, they have men over Reggina, and he slides the ball into Borriello and he beats one man and is in but he wastes the finish, back with Campagnolo.
    • 29' Corradi wins another free-kick, on the left this time after Gattuson blocks him. But again it is given away.
    • 28' Corradi is penalised for offside despite the fact he was tussling with his back to the defender when the ball was played. Unusual decision from the assistant.
    • 25' Kaka is clearly fouled by Cirillo on the edge of the box but the ref gives it the other way.
    • 24' Seedorf to take then... he swings in a super delivery onto the penalty spot AND BORRIELLO UNMARLED WITH A GLANCED HEADER INTO THE TOP LEFT FOR 1-0! Easy peasy for Marco, who was un-marcoed.
    • 23' Milan break down the right, Kaka turns Cirillo and goes down, free-kick to Milan. The ref goes over to the assistant to talk about something... no change in the decision, free-kick just outside the box on the right...
    • 22' Flamini gives the ball to Halfredsson, who feeds Brienza but Gattuso fouls and Reggina have a free-kick. Having earlier let the game flow, the ref fusses a bit in penalising Barreto for fouling on the turn.
    • 21' Seedorf swings the free-kick in but Kaladze goes in with his arm up and it's a free-kick to Reggina.
    • 20' Pato on the left, faced by Cirillo, tries to knock it inside past him and falls over his leg. Free-kick Milan, pretty soft though.
    • 19' Kaladze fouls Corradi, who was backing into the Georgian but the ref saw a shirt-pull... It's taken short too, obviously the fashion today, and much like Milan's wasted free-kick earlier, this one goes out for a throw to the defending side too.
    • 17' Reggina knock the ball wide right, Corradi with a great knock-down into the box AND BRIENZA ARRIVES WITH THE HALF-VOLLEY BUT INCHES WIDE! Abiatti looked beaten there, good play from the hosts.
    • 16' The initial free-kick is cleared, but it's lumped back into the box again AND CORRADI BEATS KALADZE AT THE FAR POST BUT HE MISSES THE BALL! Contact and that would have at least tested Abiatti.
    • 15' Flamini sees the first yellow for cumulative offences after a fairly soft foul.
    • 13' Gattuso plays it wide to Pato but slightly too long for him. A fairly even opening, although Milan have had more of the ball.
    • 11' Milan free-kick around 35 yards out, they take it short oddly and try to work an opening instead of pumping it into the box. Nothing comes from it though, and Reggina get a throw on their right side.
    • 9' Carmona stands over the ball, it's just to the right but around 10 yards from the D.... and he drills it low and beats the wall but Abiatti holds on.
    • 8' Corradi with a good touch just outside the area, and he goes down clutching his face, although that's just in mock-horror at the clumsy challenge from Flamini, again, who again escapes a card.
    • 7' Boriello on the ball but he can't bring anyone into play. Corradi chases a long ball down but he can't get beyond Kaladze and if anything pulls the Milan defender down. No chance of a penalty there son.
    • 5' Good start from Milan, Kaka breaks into space in the left and he drills in a low shot but well-wide.
    • 3' Rough tackle from Flamini on Costa, but no card. That was late and clumsy more than anything else.
    • 1' Match underway!
