BRIGHT START FROM JUVENTUS
No chances of note yet in the opening stages of the second half but Juventus are pushing greater numbers up the pitch in search of the game's first goal.
2nd Half

BACK UNDERWAY!
So here we go then. The second half!
End of 1st Half
45+2'
HALF-TIME!
A cagey, scrappy half of football comes to close at the San Siro. Milan have been on top. A low strike from Leao was well saved by Szczesny in the 19th minute and Calabria's 30-yard strike on the half hour mark is as close as we've come to a goal so far.
45'
APPROACHING HALF-TIME
TWO minutes of added time at the end of the first half.
42'
MESSIAS BOOKED
Messias makes a late sliding challenge on Chiellini and the Juventus defender is down in some pain. The medical staff have entered the pitch.

JUVENTUS IMPROVING
Juventus are starting to play in Milan's half now but are still struggling to create any meaningful opportunities. A poor cross from Sandro into the box is caught by Maignan.
36'
LOCATELLI FIRES OVER
Another long range effort in this match and this time it is Locatelli who has a go, but he slashes his effort over.
34'
INTO THE WALL
Giroud fires the free-kick on goal but his driven left-footed effort flies into the wall before Hernandez's shot is also blocked. The following corner is caught by Szczesny.
33'
CHIELLINI FOULS GIROUD
Giroud tries to spin Chiellini on the edge of the box but he is brought down by the Juventus captain and AC Milan have a free-kick in a good position.
32'
CALABRIA FIRES WIDE
Calabria goes for a goal again from 30-yards out and again he comes close as his effort drifts just wide.
30'
GREAT CHANCE!
Calabria picks the ball up from 30-yards out and the right-back looks for the top corner, but his shot rises too much and veers just over the bar.
29'
MORATA OFFSIDE
Morata breaks through clear on goal before Romagnoli makes a brilliant sliding challenge inside the box to intercept, but the Spaniard was offside anyway.
27'
IBRAHIMOVIC COMING OFF
Ibrahimovic apears to have picked up an achilles injury and is leaving the match. Giroud takes his place. Giroud has scored two goals in his last four games and recently said he turned down Juventus when he got an offer from them in January 2021.

DYBALA GOES FOR GOAL
Dybala nicks the ball off Hernandez and glides into the box before attempting to curl a left-footed shot into the top corner, but it flies narrowly wide.
21'
MCKENNIE ESCAPES A BOOKING
We have already had ten fouls in this match. McKennie brings down Tonali near the centre circle but he gets away with it.
19'
GREAT SAVE!
The best chance of the game so far lands to Leao who unleashes a fierce drive off his right boot on goal from outside the box, but Szczesny makes a brilliant save low down to his right and bats it away!
17'
LOVELY FLICK
Dybala nonchalently flicks the ball into the path of Cuadrado but Hernandez is there to put in a crunching tackle on the Colombian. It's been a very even, cautious opening to this match.
15'
IBRAHIMOVIC LURKING
Krunic attempts to dink a ball into the path of Ibrahimovic who shapes up for a volley inside the box, but Juventus clear their lines. The 40-year-old would surely love to get a goal against his former club this evening.
12'
ANOTHER YELLOW!
This time Leao is booked for bundling over Cuadrado. SHOT! Juventus counter-attack and Cuadrado fires on goal from outside the box, but his efforts skews wide.

YELLOW FOR LOCATELLI!
The Juventus players are protesting furiously after Locatelli is booked for sliding into Tonali. Locatelli's yellow means he will miss Juventus' next game against Verona on Sunday. It's a harsh yellow.

MILAN PRESSURING
Leao bursts down the left flank and wins a corner off Locatelli. Tonali plays it short to Diaz before getting it back. He curls a dangerous cross to the back post which takes a slight deflection for another corner. This time the ball is worked to Leao on the edge of the box, but he fires well over.
