Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of Bologna v AC Milan from Serie A.

Boateng sends a shot spinning wide of the target. Not his best effort it must be said. Deflection and Milan have a corner.

Boateng taken out of the action late by Pazienza and that will be a free-kick from 30 yards out to the visiting side.

Morleo goes for goal from distance, but well over the Milan bar. Not much goal action so far here.

Carvalho taken out of the action late by Nocerino. Both teams flying into the tackles out there with some relish. The surface contributing to it.

Antonsson forced to come up with another timely clearance in the heart of the Bologna defence.

Both of these teams lost their opening games of the season. Milan lost 1-0 at home to Sampdoria while Bologna went down 2-0 at Chievo.

Motta back to win the ball for Bologna. Acquafresca goes to ground seconds later, but the referee waves play on.

Decent tackle by Antonsson to block the cross by Boateng. Milan trying to get on the ball with some purpose.

Diamanti collects the ball after a strong challenge by Nocerino in the middle of the park. Pitch saturated. Not sure if it will make for a great game the longer it goes on.

Pazzini makes his first start for Milan tonight with new arrivals Bojan Krkic, Nigel De Jong and Alberto Gilardino forced to start on the bench.

Milan get the action off and running in the rain of Bologna.
