    Time:90'
    • Udinese
    • Milan
    • 90+5 And that's the last meaningful action from an entertaining evening of football that has seen Inter win the title without playing and Udinese move closer to a place in next season's Europa league.
    • 90+4 Udinese go straight up the other end and Quagliarella fires against the post.
    • 90+3 GOAL...but it's a case of too little too late!! Ambrosini rising highest to head Kaka's centre past Handanovic.
    • 90+2 Udinese play keep ball until Quagliarella fires wide.
    • 90+2 Inzaghi volleys Kaka's flick onto the post...this just isn't going to be their day.
    • 90' Four minutes of added time.
    • 89' Sanchez draws another smart save from Dida, Udinese have been very impressive and deserve this win
    • 87' Kaka breaks the offside trap and crosses for Inzaghi but Handanovic is on hand to intercept.
    • 85' Quagliarella receives the resulting corner short, swivels and draws a sharp save from Dida.
    • 83' Udinese break and Dida foils Sanchez at the near post.
    • 79' Jankulovski wins a corner...Ronaldinho to swing it in, but Udinese defend it well - as they have done for most of the night.
    • 77' Milan are getting closer!!! Ronaldinho threads a ball through to Inzaghi but Handanovic spreads himself well.
    • 75' Inzaghi has a header blocked from a corner but Udinese break and Inler fires goal-wards.
    • 73' Sub a piece. Schevchenko for Pato and Sanchez for Flores.
    • 71' Ronaldinho beats Isla but flashes his driven cross behind Pato and Inzaghi who appeared to make similar runs.
    • 69' Milan break and Inzaghi strays offside trying to latch onto Ronaldinho's through ball.
    • 67' Inler flashes an effort just past the post from right out on the wing.
    • 65 Senderos blocks from Flores after a meandering left wing run.
    • 63' The game has become incredibly open and the sides trade half chances.
    • 60 Ronaldinho for Seedorf.
    • 59' The eternally offside Inzaghi fires home Pato's square ball but the linesman soon flags to cuts his celebration short.
    • 57' That second goal seems to have shocked Milan into action...Kaka's cross is blocked.
    • 55' Inzaghi wins a corner than Senderos loops over the bar.
    • 54' Ronaldinho begins to warm up.
    • 52' Half-time substitute Inzaghi is sniffing around the Udinese box for half chances, but Milan really are lacking imagination.
    • 49' GOAL...poor defending!!! Felipe, totally unmarked on the six yard line, inadvertently diverts the corner into the path of Christian Zapata - who can barely miss from a couple of yards out.
    • 48' Udinese win a soft corner.
    • 47' But arches it just wide of Dida's upright.
    • 46' Udinese get the second half underway and Asamoah immediately wins a free-kick in a dangerous area. Pepe is over it....
    • 45' That's it, half-time. If all stays the same Inter will be crowned Champions without kicking a ball.
    • 44' Kaka breaks and has Milan's first effort on target, but it's from a tight angle and Handanovic saves with his legs.
    • 42' But Milan break with Kaka, Ambrosini and Pato. But Ambosini's ball into Pato is too heavy and the youngster miss-controls it.
    • 39' Udinese finish the half in the ascendancy - Inler and Pepe looking particularly dangerous.
    • 37' Milan push forward and win a corner, which is wasted.
    • 35' Udinese have two quick fire efforts, but both fly wide. First from Inler, then the goal-scorer. Milan look rather flat.
    • 32' Milan almost conjure an immediate riposte, but Pirlo gets his angles wrong and his free-kick flies past Handanovic's post without troubling the keeper.
    • 30' Penalty converted! Dida guesses the right way but D'Agostino's left footed effort is just out of reach and the home side take the lead.
    • 29' Penalty!! Paolo Maldini collides with Floro Flores just outside the six yard box after the forward had sprung the offside trap, and the ref points to spot. Yellow carding the veteran in the process.
    • 27' Milan work the resulting free-kick wide and earn a corner that Maldini flashes wide with a header.
    • 25' Pasquale is booked for a foul on Kaka.
    • 23' Seedorf drags wide from distance.
    • 21' Seedorf goes over in the area but is told to get to his feet. Udinese break and Pepe crosses for Quagliarella, who, having broken the offside trap, thunders his header too close to Dida. Great chance.
    • 18' Kaka's caught in an offside position, from Pirlo's cross.
    • 16' Milan begin to build some pressure and win successive corners.
    • 14' After a frenetic start, Milan's patient play bears fruit of sorts - a first clear cut chance. Ambrosini snatching at Pato's headed lay-off to drag wide.
    • 10' D'Agostino drops his shoulder and, in doing so, beats Maldini but fires well wide. Bright start from the home side.
    • 7' Senderos gives away a free-kick in dangerous territory to the left of Dida's penalty area, but Pepe fires straight at the Brazilian.
    • 5 Quagliarella leads a quick break from a Milan corner and squares to Asamoah but he flashes his shot wide.
    • 2' Udinese now press but former Arsenal man Senderos is there twice to intercept.
    • 1' And we're underway. Milan kick-off and are on the attack straight away.

    camf

    From Cameron, on Sat 16 May 9:20PM

  11. Comment 32, In Italy not as many people go to the­ stadiums as we can see our football matches on Sky TV­ live, we can choose any of the matches and this is­ another reason why our crowds have gone down as people­ can watch in the comfort of their homes. Unlike the­ lame pointless EPL where you can't even see the­ games live on English Sky at 1500 on a Saturday­ afternoon, you can only watch selected matches before­ and after the main days games, you tard.

    From Diehard Italian Fan, on Sat 16 May 9:19PM
