    • 34' Milan starting to tick with Robinho central to their attacks at the moment. Genoa struggling to get hold of the ball.

    • 30' Kucka drills another effort from distance, but again it whizzes over.

    • 25' But Genoa waste the free kick and concede a free kick after some pushing and shoving in the box.
    • 24' Bonera drags Mesto down rather cynically and Genoa have a free kick in a dangerous area on the right. Bonera has a yellow card.

    • 3' Genoa looking to stretch Milan with long balls for Destro in the early stages.
