53'
Super skill by Hamdaoui to create space on the right but his cut back is cleared by Pirlo with Suarez ready to pounce. From the throw Suarez puts in a teasing ball far post, that Abbiati just about tips away! Now El Hamdaoui is in but Abbiati throws himself at his feet and the flag is up. Good spell for Ajax.
52'
Antonini impedes Suarez and Milan signal for a sub... Boateng on for Flamini, they think they can win this!
51'
Enoh slides through De Jong but a great saving challenge from Flamini. Down the other end Vertonghen repays the compliment to Ibra.
50'
Antonini gets forward and is falling as he plays it to Seedorf, who cannot quite get it through to Robinho.
49'
Gattuso is up. Watch your back Gregory.
48'
There's a Milan player down on the deck and it's Gattuso, who took a naughty elbow from Van der Wiel in the chest, and his shoulder in the chin. Ow. If he gets up from this I would be mighty scared it I were VdW...
47'
Confident start to the second from Milan as they cut Ajax apart with a frankly beautiful spell of one-touch pass-and-move football. Eventually Ibra backheels it to Robinho who mis-hits the shot miles wide.
46'
The second half is underway!

45+3
Half-time, 1-1 and quite a game so far!
45+1
Three minutes added time being played.
45'
Robinho surges forward but goes down far too easily when confronted with Vertonghen. Play on says the ref as Ajax bring it clear. All a bit scrappy as Milan blow a couple of chances to clear their lines...
44'
El Hamdaoui almost combined with De Zeeuw on the edge of the box but Nesta intercepts to clear.
43'
Robinho clips a lovely pass wide to Ibra but intercepted, well vaguely as Ibra gets it anyway. Milan keep the ball for a handful of passes before Emmanuelson brings it clear.
42'
Not the greatest corner this time, headed away at the near post.
41'
Suarez puts the free-kick into the box where it hits Silva on the head and flies behind for a corner.
40'
Flamini takes out Emmanuelson and sees yellow. Free-kick 35-40 yards from goal...
39'
Robinho is booked for playing on when the referee blew for offside.
39'
AJAX SUB: Miralem Sulejmani is on for poor Anita.
38'
Anita, back on the pitch, is down again as Ibra goes over to have a chat with his old mate, signalling to the Ajax bench that he may well be done.
