    Time:90'
    • Sampdoria
    • Milan
    • 90+5' That's full time at Luigi Ferraris and Sampdoria have held on to beat Milan 2-1, with goals from Antonio Cassano and Giampaolo Pazzini doing the damage for Walter Mazzarri's side. Thanks for joining us!
    • 90+4' Emerson, who has made quite an impact since coming on, charges down the left and delivers a cross, but Pirlo can't control the ball and the chance goes begging.
    • 90+2' Gianluca Zambrotta wins a corner with a marauding run down the right wing, but Pirlo can't find a man in red and black inside the box and Sampdoria clear.
    • 90' Five minutes are to be added at the end of this second half as Milan continue to press forward.
    • 89' Sampdoria are successfully whiling away time as Milan desperately close their opposition down. Bonera checks Sammarco cynically and the home side will take their time over this free-kick.
    • 87' Antonio Cassano departs to a standing ovation, with a cheeky slap at Carlo Ancelotti's face as he leaves the field.
    • 85' Emerson again proves a handful in the box as Lucchini jumps with the midfielder to meet Pato's flick-back. Milan have really upped the intensity, but it may be too little, too late.
    • 83' Milan have a goal disallowed as thought they had equalised! Emerson rose to head home from Pirlo's whipped free-kick, but the referee's assistant was quick to raise his flag and deny the Brazilian his goal! It was a very tight call, but replays suggest it was a correct one.
    • 80' GOAL!!! Pato gives Milan a chance of recovery with a fine headed goal! Just as I say the visitors are looking out of it, they hit back with a direct move which catches their opponents off guard.
    • 79' A neat turn of direction from Stankevicius draws Flamini into a challenge which earns the midfielder a booking inside the Milan half - the visitors don't look likely to come back into this game at the moment.
    • 77' Luca Castellazzi displays more sharp goalkeeping, charging off his line to deny Pato a shot on goal.
    • 75' Paolo Sammarco gives Bonera some difficulty in clearing the ball, which epitomises Sampdoria's ceaseless workrate this afternoon - Milan simply haven't shown the same desire.
    • 73' An abysmal dive from Pato is simply ignored by the referee, who would have been praised for brandishing a yellow card in those circumstances.
    • 71' David Beckham is replaced by Emerson in Carlo Ancelotti's final throw of the dice, while Pazzini is hacked down by Favalli, who got nowhere near the ball.
    • 68' A good chance falls to Clarence Seedorf after an exquisite cross by Andrea Pirlo, but the Dutchman's control in the box was poor.
    • 65' Mirko Pieri outmuscles Favalli down the Milan left before whipping in a good delivery which Pazzini almost gets on the end of - Senderos again was nowhere.
    • 62' Cassano causes yet more trouble for Senderos, skipping past the defender with relative ease before seeing his cross drift out for a goal kick.
    • 60' Favalli is patrolling down the right flank with Beckham looking to feed him the ball at every opportunity - with Inzaghi there to pick up the scraps, it seems a logical move from Ancelotti.
    • 57' Inzaghi causes more trouble as he challenges aerially with Lucchini, before being brought down by Accardi on the edge of the area.
    • 54' Marek Jankulovski departs in Carlo Ancelotti's second change, with Giuseppe Favalli replacing him.
    • 51' GOAL!!! Giampaolo Pazzini scores a cracking goal to double Sampdoria's lead! The big striker cut inside with a superb turn, before a clinical finish to send the home fans into delirium!
    • 51' Inzaghi is providing Milan with an attacking outlet which was certainly missing in the first half.
    • 49' Pato takes a tumble as Inzaghi looked to slip his strike partner in behind Accardi, but to no avail.
    • 46' We're underway in this second half and Milan have withdrawn Luca Antonini, with Filippo Inzaghi coming on to replace him.
    • 45+1' Jankulovski almost gets in behind Accardi, but can't quite reach Pirlo's long ball; that's half-time. Sampdoria lead Milan 1-0 courtesty of Antonio Cassano.
    • 45' Beckham, like the rest of the Milan players, is becoming very frustrated with the pressure being applied by the home side, who are closing down their opponents impressively. Meanwhile, one minute will be added at the end of this first half.
    • 43' Antonini is providing width out on the left wing, but his crosses have not presented any good opportunities for his team-mates waiting in the box.
    • 41' The visitors are keeping possession well, but have yet to find a cutting edge in front of goal with Sampdoria defending stoutly; Pato is looking isolated up front on his own.
    • 40' Philippe Senderos is booked for a crunching tackle on Pazzini, which gave the referee no option but to take action.
    • 39' Beckham, who is struggling to stamp his authority on the game at the moment, misplaces his pass to Pato as the forward makes a run behind Accardi.
    • 37' Angelo Palombo is rightly booked for a miss-timed lunge on Flamini, as Clarence Seedorf blasts a shot over the bar for Milan.
    • 35' Abbiati furiously protested with the referee's assistant as he felt the ball hadn't crossed the line, but replays suggest that the decision was correct.
    • 33' GOAL!!! Sampdoria take the lead through Cassano, who poaches a headed goal from close-range with Abbiati making a save with the ball already over the line - 1-0 to the hosts!
    • 32' The rain continues to pour as Sampdoria have a dangerous free-kick from Palombo cleared away by Senderos for a corner.
    • 30' Antonio Cassano demonstrates some neat skill, controlling Stankevicius' through ball into his stride before Jankulolovski makes a good tackle.
    • 28' Flamini comes close to opening the scoring for Milan with a surging run to the edge of the Sampdoria box, before dragging his shot narrowly wide.
    • 25' Mathieu Flamini produces a characteristically robust intervention as Giampaolo Pazzini looks to muscle his way through with Bonera exposed.
    • 22' Milan have kept the ball well in midfield through Pirlo, Beckham and Seedorf in particular, but clear-cut opportunities have not materialised for Pato as yet.
    • 19' Gianluca Zambrotta maraudes down the right in typically adventurous fashion, before having his run curtailed by a superbly timed challenge from Stefano Lucchini.
    • 17' Philippe Senderos challenges with Antonio Cassano with the defender under pressure he does well to clear.
    • 14' The first yellow card is issued by referee Rocchi, following dissent from Daniele Franceschini.
    • 11' Pietro Accardi is almost caught out by a switch-pass by Andrea Pirlo down the left wing, but the defender recovers well before feeding Pieri.
    • 8' A sharp run by Luca Antonini brings a well timed tackle from Mirko Pieri; the midfielder has been full of running as Milan look to establish themselves in this game.
    • 6' Angelo Palombo looks to be the main orchestrator for Sampdoria as he spreads the play to either flank within his side's five-man midfield.
    • 3' Daniele Bonera challenges with Andrea Raggi as the game refuses to settle down in the opening stages.
    • 1' We're underway at Luigi Ferraris and David Beckham and Mathieu Flamini start in midfield for Milan, with Alexandre Pato leading the line.
    • - Welcome to this Serie A encounter between Sampdoria and Milan at Luigi Ferraris. With both sides knocked out of the Uefa Cup midweek, to Metalist Kharkiv and Werder Bremen respectively, Walter Mazzarri and Carlo Ancelotti will be anxious to get their sides back on the winning trail in the league.
