    • - Thanks for joining us!
    • 90'+4 FULL TIME! A 1-0 win for Milan, and with Juventus winning 1-0 at Cesena the gap to the Turin side remains three points.
    • 90'+3 Late corner for Milan, and they opt to keep the ball there...
    • 90' Four minutes of added time to play...
    • 89' Milan knocking it about in midfield now...
    • 87' Emanuelson breaks down the left after winning a battle in midfield for the ball with Biondini. He sends a cross in, which Ibrahimovic gets a flick on, and the ball arrives at Boateng's feet at the far post. He then fires it underneath Frey to give Milan the lead!
    • 86' GOAL FOR MILAN! Finally! At last! Praise the heavens! We have a goal and it's Boateng for the home side!!
    • 84' Yellow for Moretti as he tries but fails to foul Boateng...
    • 81' Juventus have taken the lead at Cesena, so the gap as it stands now five points between them and Milan...
    • 80' Atonini off, Maxi Lopez on for Milan. For Genoa Veloso comes on for Belluschi.
    • 78' Cassano just wide! The Milan man curls a shot which is so close but just the wrong side of the right post!
    • 76' Frustration on the faces of Milan's players as Boateng's touch lets him down. Change for Genoa: Sculli off, Alhassan on.
    • 75' Muntari drags a wild effort well wide as Milan waste possession.
    • 74' SAVE BY FREY! The Swiss uses his feet to hack away a shot from Yepes...
    • 72' RED CARD! Jankovic picks up his second caution of the evening for a wild lunge on Abate right on the edge of Genoa's area, and the away side are down to 10 men...
    • 70' Ibrahimovic gets to the by-line and cuts the ball back for Nocerino, who fires a panicky shot across the face of goal...
    • 68' Birsa off, Carvalho on for Genoa.
    • 67' Milan remain frustrated, as do Juventus at Cesena where it is also 0-0...
    • 64' Milan piling on the pressure now...
    • 63' Milan picking up pace now and Emanuelson volleys just wide after a lay off from Ibrahimovic...
    • 61' Great block by Biondini to deny Boateng a volley on goal after a great cross from the left.
    • 60' Jankovic booked after pulling back Abate... Seemed like the referee only did that after Abate pleaded for a card...
    • 58' Moretti stays down after a tangle with Boateng. Looked pretty innocuous to me...
    • 56' At the other end Nocerino goes down inside Genoa's area looking for a penalty. Weak...
    • 55' Genoa get forward with two waves of attacks but Kaladze can't find a way through in the second of those.
    • 53' Muntari is booked after charging around and fouling Kaladze and then Biondini in quick succession.
    • 51' Save by Frey! Ibrahimovic works the Genoa keeper at his near post with a shot!
    • 50' Double change for Milan, and hopefully an injection of inspiration as Boateng and Cassano come on for El Shaarawy and Van Bommel...
    • 49' Emanuelson drives at the Genoa defence and is brought down by Granqvist.
    • 48' Palacio nearly gets in at the other end but it's a similar story there as Nesta makes a last ditch challenge that pays off.
    • 47' Milan attack and win a throw in Genoa's half... No way through again however...
    • 46' KICK OFF! The second half is on...
    • 45'+1 HALF TIME. Let's hope for a better second half... We'll be back shortly!
    • 45' One minute of added time to be played...
    • 44' Yepes is booked for harassing the refere in the wake of that penalty appeal.
    • 43' Ibrahimovic goes down in hope of winning a penalty. Milan are getting desperate and it's no wonder why, this is a poor game...
    • 40' Muntari goes on a run right at the heart of the Genoa defence but runs straight into trouble...
    • 37' Ibrahimovic hammers the set piece into the wall. This game needs a spark...
    • 36' El Shaarawy is fouled by Sculli and Milan win a free-kick 30 yards out...
    • 34' Milan win a corner which El Shaarawy delivers... The ball drops to Muntari at the far post but his header is poor.
    • 30' The first genuine chance of the game and a real opportunity for Milan. A great run from Emanuelson starts it, and he finds El Shaarawy on the right, whose near post cross for Ibrahimovic is cut out...
    • 28' Abate catches Biondini late, and escapes a booking...
    • 26' Not much happening at the moment, as both teams knock the ball around in midfield when in possession while waiting for an opening... Hope there's one soon...
    • 23' Nocerino with a good cross in which is turned behind for a Milan corner with Ibrahimovic lurking...
    • 20' Still no breakthrough, both sides have tried to use pace down the wings to make inroads, with Birsa looking dangerous for Genoa on a couple of occasions.
    • 17' Kucka goes for goal from 25 yards but his effort is skewed and too high.
    • 15' No real chances on goal to speak of as yet, just Kucka's effort which had the sting taken out of it by a deflection/block...
    • 12' Genoa asking plenty of questions of Milan's defence, and this game is fairly end to end...
    • 8' Kucka has a shot blocked as Genoa get an early chance in on goal.
    • 7' El Shaarawy making life uncomfortable for the Genoa defence with a couple of testing runs...
    • 5' Muntari has one shot blocked before firing another high and wide as Milan test the Genoa defence...
    • 3' Milan muscling their way round the pitch early on, dominating possession so far...
    • 17:01 KICK OFF! We're underway at the San Siro...
    • 16:55 Five minutes from kick off...
    • 16:50 Interesting fact: This fixture will see Serie A’s best attack (AC Milan, 63 goals scored) meet its worst defence (Genoa, 62 conceded).
    • 16:45 TEAM LINE-UPS... MILAN: Abbiati, Abate, Nesta, Yepes, Antonini, Nocerino, Van Bommel, Muntari, Emanuelson, El Shaarawy, Ibrahimovic /// GENOA: Frey, Granqvist, Kaladze, Moretti, Birsa, Kucka, Jankovic, Biondini, Belluschi, Sculli, Palacio.
    • 16:40 This game kicks off at 17:00 UK time by the way.
    • 16:35 So Milan trail Serie A leaders Juventus - who play away at bottom-of-the-table Cesena at the same time - by three points... Juve have a better goal difference by three, so a handsome win for Milan against relegation threatened Genoa could see them go top of the table this evening.
    • 16:30 Good afternoon and welcome to LIVE commentary as Milan host Genoa at the San Siro!
