End of 2nd Half

Full-time: Job done for Milan. Thanks to goals from Rade Krunic and Diogo Dalot they comfortably see off Verona to move to within three points of league leaders Inter.

Four minutes will be added on here.

87'

Off the line! Krunic is on the post to head clear from Faraoni's effort. He has certainly produced at both ends today!

85'

Another opportunity for Ceccherini ends with exactly the same result as it did a few minutes earlier as once again he fails to guide his glancing header on goal.

83'

It's only taken all of 80 minutes for Verona to come to life. Salcedo finds a pocket of space after a nice combination, but he doesn't have the finish to match as he blazes over.

80'

Verona pressure! The hosts win a corner, Leao mishits his clearance but the loose ball fortunately falls into the path of Donnarumma, who smothers it.

78'

Milan sub: Jens Petter Hauge comes on for Castillejo. That's the visitors' first change of the match.

Just wide! Verona fashion their best opportunity from the resulting corner, Dimarco finding Ceccherini with a cross but the defender glances his header wide!

76'

Less than 15 to play and Verona finally register a shot at goal. It's the substitute Dimarco who goes for goal, trying to find the near post with a low effort. It takes a deflection and Verona have a corner!

74'

Verona sub: The final change from the hosts sees Lasagna make way for Andrea Favilli.

71'

Incredibly professional performance from Stefano Pioli's men. A third goal would really put the gloss on it.

69'

All too easy for Milan, who continue to hold Verona at arm's length. They haven't laid a glove on the Rossoneri.

A supreme performance.

64'

Verona win what I think is their first corner of the game. Romagnoli is in the way to head clear Lazovic's cross. And from the resulting set-piece, Donnarumma confidently plucks the ball out of the air.

62'

On paper, this looked an extremely difficult tie for Milan. But they have made it easy work of it so far. It's a result that will pile the pressure on league leaders Inter, who host Atalanta tomorrow night.

58'

Another double Verona sub: Ivan Ilic and Federico Dimarco replace Gunter and Veloso. Four changes in four minutes from the home side head coach.
