    Time:90'
    • Torino
    • Milan
    • 90+3 That was the last significant action of the match, Milan are held and Inter stay three points clear at the top of Serie A!
    • 90+2 Kaka runs with the ball towards the Torino box, he beats one man and is shoulder-to-shoulder with Diana and he goes down in the box but nothing given! Yellow for diving!
    • 90' Free-kick to Milan on the edge of the D... Ronaldinho blasts it over.
    • 89' Two minutes of added time to be played...
    • 87' Succession of corners to Torino, who are going for the win! One delivery is headed just over by a Milan defender. Anyone could grab this at the end!
    • 84' TORINO SUB: Rosina is knackered, on comes Pisano.
    • 82' Colombo wins a corner down the left...
    • 81' Rosina whips the free-kick over but a poor delivery to no-man's land and Milan break through Kaka, who goes down on the left wing but nothing given. Looked like a dive to me.
    • 80' Abbruscato on the ball, he skins Maldini who hacks him down just outside the box! Milan on the rack!
    • 79' MILAN SUB: Shevchenko on for Gattuso as Milan push for a win.
    • 77' Rosina steps up to take it... and he chips it to the right, sending Abbiati the wrong way to make it 2-2!
    • 76' Rosina again gets in on the left and he chips a cross for Stellone but handball! That's a penalty, Kaladze with the offence and that is harsh as the ball bounced up off his gut against his arm!
    • 72' Rosina breaks down the left wing and sends a great cross to Stellone at the far post but it takes a deflection en route and falls just behind Abbruscato for Milan to clear!
    • 71' TORINO SUB: Abbruscato and Zanetti on for Barone and Bianchi.
    • 70' Gattuso fouls Rosina and enters the book. Harsh.
    • 69' Rubin with a left-wing cross but Stellone's header is straight at Abbiati.
    • 66' Ronaldinho gets it on halfway, great turn and short ball to Kaka who immediately slips it in for PATO WHO'S IN but he's denied by a last-ditch tackle and it's a corner!
    • 65' Great challenge from Maldini to deny Bianchi just as he was about to pull the trigger!
    • 64' A counter by Milan almost sees Kaka break through but Toro clear.
    • 60' It's a pretty even game now. Torino deserve to equalise but Milan are very dangerous on the break.
    • 58' Baroni is carded for bringing down Kaka in full flight. He clipped his heels just as he was breaking away.
    • 55' Dzemaili runs with the ball, he beats one man, then a second, he looks wide for Bianchi who's in but the angle is tight and Stellone screams for it but Bianchi shoots straight at the Abbiati who fumbles and Rosina can finish but has his back to goal and Abbiati blocks!! Now Milan counter, Pato is in and he can score but the shot is blocked, he wants a handball but nothing given! End to end, great stuff!
    • 54' Stellone again is in after a long ball bounces awkwardly for Bonera but he's stopped by a combination of Kaladze and Maldini!
    • 53' Torino again come forward, Rosina on the left crosses it in but just over the head of Stellone! Still with Toro but Bianchi can't centre it and they get a throw.
    • 53' Dzemaili on the ball, he goes on a mazy dribble, beats one man, then another, this is a great run but the shot flies just wide! Dzemaili and Rosina have been Torino's stand-out players tonight.
    • 52' Pirlo's free-kick is straight into the arms of Sereni though.
    • 51' Yellow card to Diana for chopping down Seedorf in full flight.
    • 48' Pato gets on the end of a Ronaldinho pass and he fires in the finish but just over! Should have been 3-1, a bit of a howler there for the young Brazilian.
    • 46' Second half underway!
    • 45+1 The one minute of additional time is up. Milan lead 2-1 after coming from behind.
    • 45+1 Pirlo picks up a needless booking for clattering Dzemaili just outside the Torino box as the half winds down.
    • 44' More crisp one-touch passing on the edge of the Torino box but Seedorf's attempt at a drag back is too ambitious and he over-runs it.
    • 42' Bonera on the right, look inside to Seedorf, now Kaka, he goes wide to Ronaldinho, it becomes a one-two and Ronaldinho is in but Kaka's final ball too heavy! Great stuff though.
    • 40' Jankulovski now has a pop but well over. Milan are in control now, oddly given they were nowhere near Torino when they scored. It seems the goal by Stellone woke them up.
    • 38' Rosina gets on the end of a cross from the left but heading is not the little man's strong point and he skews it well wide.
    • 34' But Ronaldinho runs up to take it AND HE SENDS A BRILLIANT CURLING EFFORT INTO THE TOP RIGHT FOR 2-1! A moment of magic but the wall was rubbish. I mean talk about giving him exactky what he needs to find the gap, they were waaaay too central and Rosina was all over the place. The Rossoneri lead.
    • 33' Free-kick to Milan around 20 yards out, that man Pirlo is ready to take it...
    • 31' Kaka on the left, he cuts inside and unleashes a curling shot AND SERENI DIVES ACROSS TO TIP IT AWAY! Ronaldinho ready to pounce but the whistle goes for an offside.
    • 29' Milan come forward now, Kaka on the ball, Seedorf is offside but he threads it through to Pato and the defenders stop with arms aloft AND PATO IS CLEAR OF THE LAST DEFENDER AND THE FLAG STAYS DOWN AND HE HAMMERS IT INTO THE ROOF OF THE NET FOR 1-1! Quick reply from Milan. Seedorf was offside but 'not interfering' - now that is an example of how ludicrous this rule is if I ever saw one. Because Seedorf was offside, and moving towards goal, the Torino defence stepped up and stayed up.
    • 28' Good defending by Pratali to shepherd the ball back to Sereni.
    • 27' Torino break at pace again, Rosina's on fire and slips a pass wide right but Colombo can't get hold of it.
    • 25' Dzemaili comes forward, he plays it wide left to Rosina and continues his run but Rosina opts to cross to the near post AND STELLONE HEADS IT IT HOME TO PUT TORINO AHEAD! The home side have deserved that. 1-0 Torino.
    • 24' Long ball into the Milan box is nodded down by Bianchi for STELLONE but his shot flashes well wide.
    • 22' Dzemaili runs from halfway, there's no-one ahead of him and he drills in a low shot that flashes just wide of the left-hand post!
    • 21' Stellone and Bianchi link up but the second one-two falls through and Milan clear.
    • 20' The corner causes Torino a few problems, Pirlo and Ronaldinho almost unleash a few shots but Sereni eventually gets onto a backpass to hoof it clear. Milan looking a touch more dangerous now.
    • 19' Bonera sprints down the right to latch onto a great diagonal pass from Ronaldinho but a brilliant saving tackle from Rubin puts it out for a corner.
    • 17' Jankulovksi tries a rather ambitious volley from the left wing that goes nowhere near troubling Sereni.
    • 13' Ronaldinho almost gets within range but good defending from Torino.
    • 11' Dzemaili almost gets in on the right but it's out for a Torino throw. The hosts having the better of these early exchanges.
    • 9' Stellone almost gets in behind Jankulovski but the ball slips out of play. Kaka and Ronaldinho pretty isolated at the moment.
    • 8' Milan attack now and Gattuso has a low drive on goal but well wide.
    • 6' Rosina is fouled on the left wing, free-kick to Torino 30 yards out which the bald-headed playmaker will take... it's a great delivery towards Rubin but Abbiati flies out to punch clear!
    • 4' Torino attack now but a loose ball drifts out for a goal kick.
    • 2' Good run by Pato down the right but Pratali tackles, throw Milan but Ronaldinho can't make the killer pass and it's back with former Ipswich keeper Sereni.
    • 1' Match underway in Turin!
    • - Milan can go to within one point of leaders Internazionale if they win in Turin, which is no mean feat! Alex Pato starts with Ronaldinho and Kaka in support, as Andrey Shevchenko stays on the bench. Former Man City striker Rolando Bianchi starts for Torino.
