AC Milan v Red Bull Salzburg LIVE: Both sides are looking to qualify for the knockout stage

VAR officials checked a potential penalty following a sliding challenge from Kalulu, but the referee has stuck to his original decision of no penalty.

Rafael Leao is proving to be a real handful so far with his pace and trickery, especially given he has lots of space to run into.

Olivier Giroud's second of the night has been ruled out for offside. It's still 1-0!

Olivier Giroud is there again! Theo Hernandez fires a shot which is spilled by the goalkeeper Kohn and Giroud is on hand to tap home.

The ball comes to Giroud on the bounce and the Frenchman fires over the bar. Another waring sign for Salzburg, who really cannot afford to go 2-0 down.

There is so much space for both sides and you get the feeling this one will not end 1-0. Milan only need a point but are looking to take advantage of the space in behind Salzburg, who are piling forward.

Adamu spins well but fires straight at Tatarusanu. Salzburg will certaintly not feel down and out in this one given what's left on the clock.

You just cannot give Olivier Giroud that much room! A fantastic corner from Sandro Tonali is met by Giroud who heads home to put Milan in front. The first goal was always going to be huge in this game and that is a massive blow for Salzburg.

Milan's biggest threat so far has came down the left through Theo Hernandez, he has lots of space tor run into due to Salzburg's attacking intent.

Salzburg got in behind Milan allowing Kjaergaard a shot towards goal but Tomori dived in superbly to block.

This game has been really open so far, Salzburg pushing on in search of a goal which is leaving lots of space in behind for Milan to exploit.

Theo Hernandez rifles a shot which crashes off the outside of the post. A huge chance early on for Milan.

As expected, Salzburg are looking to get forward at every opportunity here, knowing a draw is not enough.

RB Salzburg get the ball rolling in Milan!

RB Salzburg's average age tonight is just 21 years and 226 days old! This is the second youngest Champions League starting XI ever behind Arsenal (21 years and 215 days old v Olympiacos, 2009)

Noah Okafor has been the key to Salzburg's success this season, he is their top scorer in the UEFA Champions League with 3 and is their leading scorer in the Bundesliga too with 6. The 22-year-old does however come into this one with just two in his last six, so he'll be hoping to get himself on the scoresheet tonight.

Should Milan progress to the knockout stage tonight, it would be the first time they've done so since 2013-14!

This is where Milan and their supporters want to be.

Last season was the first time RB Salzburg had made the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League in their history, they could make it consecutive knockout appearances with a win tonight.

Milan need to score three goals tonight to equal their best ever group stage tally, four goals would see them break their own record.

Milan come into this one second in the group on 7 points, RB Salzburg are just a point behind in third place. A draw for Milan would secure knockout stage football, a win for Salzburg would see them leapfrog Milan into 2nd place and they would progress to the knockout stages!

With so much on the line, we are expecting a tense affair tonight!
