  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • AC Milan
    • Cagliari
    • 90+4 There goes the final whistle! What a game! Put that in your "The Premier League is the most exciting league in the world" pipe, and smoke it.
    • 90+4 Lopez clobbers Inzaghi and sees yellow.
    • 90+3 I knew it! Inzaghi is a yard offside racing through and, spotted by the lino, the ageing poacher mocks his decision with the Italian hand-clasp of doom.
    • 90+1 In the first of four minutes added time...
    • 90' Clear handball from Larrivey as he tried to meet a right-wing cross.
    • 88' Abate is booked for fouling Agostini.
    • 87' Dessena with some great work cutting in from the right but his shot is blocked.
    • 85' Cagliari break with Lazzari racing down the left, super cross AND IN DIVES LARRIVEY WITH THE HEADER BUT BLOCKED BY DIDA!
    • 83' MILAN SUB: Strasser on for Pato.
    • 82' Inzaghi meets the free-kick with a near-post header but blocked and Cagliari clear.
    • 81' CAGLIARI SUB: Larrivey comes on for the tiring Matri.
    • 80' Lazzari is booked now, for blocking off Ibate.
    • 78' Bit of a lull as Milan sit back and try not to give Cagliari a sniff, with the visitors cautious not to allow the Rossoneri to extend their lead once more.
    • 76' MILAN SUB: Inzaghi on for Boriello. Tenner says he makes a diagonal run off the full-back before finishing from close range and flailing his arms around wildly in celebration. Or, alternatively, does nothing but get caught offside and mock the linesman with an angry finger-pinch.
    • 74' Boriello heads over from closer range, off balance when Ronaldinho put it in.
    • 71' MILAN SUB: Seedorf off for the younger legs of Ibate.
    • 69' CAGLIARI SUB: Pisani on for Cannini as they go for broke.
    • 68' Jeda on the ball, he slips it through to Nene who holds off the challenge by Kaladze and slides it past Dida for 4-3! Game on again!
    • 66' Taken short and Lopez smashes it on goal but a great save from Dida to get down low and tip it away for a corner!
    • 65' Ambrosini fouls Lazzari. Free-kick to Cagliari on the left which they take an age to prepare.
    • 63' CAGLIARI SUB: Nene on for Biondini.
    • 61' Ronaldinho steps up for the spot-kick... and whack! He hammers it to the left with the keeper going right, vicious pace on that, Milan lead 4-2.
    • 60' Decent spell of possession for Cagliari as they pass and move their way into the left wing but Dessena's cross is cleared and Milan break, Pato races clear and zips towards goal, Boriello on the overlap is in but a shockingly clumsy challenge from Astori brings him down, penalty!
    • 59' Ronaldinho leads a counter for Milan, he cuts in from the left, great skill and a superb ball bisecting the defence but Seedorf gets it caught between his feet, still with Milan though and Pato has it, back to Ronaldinho but desperate defending from Cagliari to clear.
    • 58' Lovely cross-field pass from Lazzari to find Biondini, who cuts inside and unleashes a powerful drive across goal that Dida gets down to stop and hold.
    • 57' The ball drops to Pato on the right but his shot is blocked into the path of Boriello, but he mis-hits it and Cagliari can clear.
    • 56' Ronaldinho chases a lost cause down the left in a very Italian and very un-Ronaldinho manner, much to the home crowd's delight.
    • 55' Agostini on the left, he has a lot of space to pick out the cross and Lazzari flies in but, under pressure from Thiago Silva, can only head several yards wide.
    • 52' Good play by Boriello on the edge of the box to set Pato up but his low drive hits the side netting at the near post.
    • 51' It's a second corner after Seedorf puts behind but this one is fully cleared. Milan clear and Pato and Ronaldinho lead the charge, Pirlo is in but he lacks that burst of pace and it's put out for a throw.
    • 50' Free-kick to the visitors around 30 yards out to the left, swung into the box and Diego Lopez flies in to meet it but Boriello gets a touch and behind for a corner.
    • 49' A long-range effort from Lazzari goes harmlessly wide.
    • 48' Clumsy from Ambrosini on Biondini but no card as the Cagliari and now Italy midfielder gets up quickly to take it himself.
    • 47' Lazzari with a great ball to Matri that sends him clear down the left, it's cut back and spread wide right but the impetus of the move has gone and Biondini's cross is cleared.
    • 46' Second half underway!
    • 45+1 Half-time, 3-2 to Milan in one humdinger of a game!
    • 45' Pato is really enjoying himself at the moment, chasing it down the right and feeding Ronaldinho wide left as Milan close the half out in possession.
    • 44' One minute added time to be played.
    • 43' Cagliari, licking their wounds after hurling away the lead like a half-eaten kebab, have a now rare attack break down as Thiago Silva intercepts a cross.
    • 41' Milan are threatening to over-run poor Cagliari, who have been shell-shocked by that quick-fire double. Pato frees Seedorf down the right but his backheel is too close to the defence.
    • 40' Milan sense blood, inside to Ronaldinho on the edge of the D, he slips it right to Pato who takes a touch into the box AND BOOM! WHAT A FINISH! He hammers it into the top left, across Marchetti for 3-2! No keeper in the world would have saved that.
    • 39' Corner to Milan on the left, Pirlo to take... great delivery AND PATO FLIES IN WITH A POWER HEADER TO THE TOP LEFT BUT KEPT OUT BY MARCHETTI AND BORIELLO ON THE LINE NODS IT IN! 2-2! Unlucky Marchetti, somehow his flying save went back across goal instead of out for another corner.
    • 38' The ball pings around the Milan box but they are handed some respite when Lazzari is harshly adjudged to have fouled Ambrosini, who pushed him first.
    • 37' Oddo does well to block Matri's cross from the left. Milan are second best to pretty much everything at the moment.
    • 35' Handball by Boriello as he tried to control and turn into the Cagliari box.
    • 34' A Milan attack breaks down and Matri bursts down the left but Oddo deals with him and Zambrotta brings the ball clear.
    • 32' Milan look to bounce back but for all their passing are finding a well-drilled visiting defence hard to get around.
    • 30' Cannini has it on the right, loads of space and he spots Lazzari totally unmarked on the left and finds him with the cross AND ONE TOUCH TO KILL IT BEFORE HE SMASHES IT PAST THE HELPLESS DIDA INTO THE RIGHT OF GOAL! Lazzari makes it 2-1!
    • 29' Cagliari counter and Matri is in on the left, he spins past Oddo and is in but out flies Dida to parry! Still with Cagliari though as Lazzari swings a cross over that Jeda can only flick wide!
    • 28' Great slide tackle from Ambrosini on Matri as the former Milan trainee raced towards goal.
    • 27' This time the shimmies and step-overs from Ron on the left wing do not come off as he is crowded out and Cagliari clear.
    • 26' Ronaldinho on the left with soem great work to make space and loft it in for Pato but the young striker is just a smidgeon too short to make meaningful contact with the header and it spins off his curly mop to go well wide.
    • 24' The free-kick is aimed for Lazzari who flicks it on and Matri could pounce but well-held by Dida.
    • 23' Clear pull by Thiago Silva on Lazzari as he turned the Brazilian, free-kick but no card.
    • 22' Boriello seems to have a problem, receiving treatment on the sidelines...
    • 21' Free-kick to Cagliari around 30 yards out to the right but it flies well wide.
    • 20' Lovely feet from Pato to turn his marker inside out in the box but his attempted through-ball is intercepted.
    • 19' A scare for Milan as Jeda flicks Matri's cross towards goal but Dida is equal to it.
    • 18' Neat one-touch passing by Milan but they can't find a way through centrally so look wide to Ronaldinho. His cross is straight at the keeper Marchetti though.
    • 16' Ronaldinho with a superb piece of skill to skin Cannini gets in down the left and aims a hanging cross for Boriello but cleared by Astori.
    • 15' Milan know they have a fight on their hands now, Cagliari have seen more of the ball so far and created the better chances. A spell of possession for the hosts could be the tonic though...
    • 13' Astori pops up on the left, he swings a right-foot cross into the box that spins past Matri BUT JEDA AT THE FAR POST MUST FINISH BUT JUST BEYOND HIS OUTSTRETCHED LEG!
    • 11' Long-range shot from Lazzari but well wide.
    • 9' Throw to Cagliari on the left, taken to Lazzari who swings it quickly into the box AND MATRI SOMEHOW SQUEEZES AWAY FROM THE DEFENCE TO POKE IT INTO THE BOTTOM LEFT! 1-1! Super finish but what a clever piece of movement, perfectly timed from the Cagliari striker. A deserved leveller.
    • 8' Matri races into the box, clear of the Milan defence and Dida flies out to clobber him but no penalty! The referee says he got the ball and the replay shows he was right.
    • 7' Amazing what a goal can do, Milan all over Cagliari now but Pirlo penalised for making a back into Astori.
    • 6' The free-kick is taken quickly, Seedorf comes forward and plays it to Boriello on the right, he's in the box but is hemmed in and the angle is tight so he cuts it back to the penalty spot, where Seedorf has continued his run to arrive and finish low into the empty net! 1-0! Poor defending by Cagliari.
    • 5' Lazzari sees yellow for a challenge from behind on Pirlo.
    • 4' Matri is called offside after racing clean through and that was a marginal one at best - Thiago Silva seemed to play him on and he should have been allowed through!
    • 4' Ronaldinho on the left tries a deep cross but just beyond Pato and Boriello arriving at the far post.
    • 3' Biondini gets in on the left but his cross is blocked before Jeda can pounce. Not seen much of Milan yet!
    • 2' Matri and Lazzari combine but the latter's cross is deflected into Dida's arms. Bright start from the visitors.
    • 1' First half underway at the San Siro!!
    • - A pretty adventurous Milan starting line-up, with Marco Boriello joined by Alex Pato and Ronaldinho in an all-action front three. No room for Klaas-Jan Huntelaar in the first XI though, he must be wondering why he bothered.
    • - The hosts need a win if they are to have any chance of staying in touch with the title race - but Cagliari are doing well this season and will leapfrog Milan with a victory today.
    • - Welcome to our LIVE coverage of Milan's Serie A clash with Cagliari at the San Siro.

  13. Cagliari seems to be one of the most unpredictable and­ dangerous teams in Serie A right now. It will be­ interesting to watch them against Juve next Sunday,­ especially after Juve have to travel to Bordeux in mid­ week. This is an explosive game right now vs. Milan.
