GOALLLLL! MILAN DOUBLE THEIR LEAD!
Giroud atones for his miss just seconds earlier! Leao plays a clipped ball into the area from the left-hand side, and Giroud does brilliantly to hit it on the stretch and the forward volleys it in beyond Skorupski!

ALMOST CAUGHT NAPPING!

The forward is crowded out slightly and opts to ping a switch pass for Barrow, with the Gambian in some space on the right. However, the through ball is cut out, and Milan escape.

CHANCE!
Right before the half-time whistle blows Milan have a chance! Leao picks up the ball in midfield after Bologna once again give the ball away sloppily. He drives down the left, making his way all the way into the area. He then shoots from close range at an acute angle, but Skorupski comes off his line and gets down low to parry it away.

CORNER
Hernandez plays in Tonali down the left channel, and he tries to find some space to get in a cross right by the goal-side touchline. However, it is blocked and Milan have a corner.
The set-piece then comes to nothing.
38'
WIDE!
Bologna have another attempt at goal that goes wide! Schouten tees up Arnautovic ahead of him, and the forward takes a few touches towards the right from the centre of the pitch to free himself from the Milan defence. He then opts to have a shot from the edge of the area towards the near post, but the contact is all wrong, and the ball sails wide of the post.

STOPPAGE
Tonali is sitting on the pitch and requires treatment from the physios. The game is temporarily stopped to allow him to get some attention.
32'
CORNER!
De Ketelaere clips another ball towards the back post for Leao to strike, but his first-time effort is blocked and Milan have a corner.
The set-piece comes to nothing as it is delivered deep from Tonali, but there is just too much on it, and Bologna clear.

ANOTHER BIG SAVE!
Skorupski makes another key stop! Leao races up the pitch, and tees up Messias on the right, as the winger advances in on goal. He shoots from a slight angle towards the near post, but Skorupski parries the ball away before Leao misses the rebound - he puts it over the bar!
24'
BIG CHANCE FOR MILAN!
Milan pick the ball up in midfield again and drive forward! This time it is Pierre Kalulu who makes a surging run from deep midfield all the way towards the edge of the area. He then plays it to De Ketelaere to his right, who takes a couple of touches to put off the Bologna defender before he clips it back into Leao's path on the left.
However, he cannot make the most of it as his strike is saved well by Skorupski.

GOALLLLL! MILAN LEAD!
It's that man Rafael Leao! The winger calmly slots home after a quick break away! De Ketelaere wins the ball back in midfield from Schouten and instantly drives forward with the ball. He tees up Leao to his left, who has underlapped to come more central, and the Portuguese attacker makes no mistake with his right foot from close range.
