Serie A LIVE - Dia draws Salernitana level against AC Milan after Giroud opener

Diaz clips a ball into the box for Krunic, but he steers a finish well off target.

Milan so nearly caught out again! This time Thiaw is caught in possession as last man as Dia nicks the ball off him and hares off towards goal, but Maignan times a risky challenge well as he rushes out of his box to deny the striker with an excellent challenge.

Gyomber is getting in the way of everything tonight! This time he heads away the corner before blocking a follow-up shot from Hernandez with his chest.

The defender is having a fine game.

Milan work it from right to left and Hernandez has space for a shot from a central position at the edge of the box, but slices it horribly off target.

The camera keeps panning to Zlatan on the bench...

Leao has a go once more, but his shot is deflected wide for a corner. Bennacer sticks it in at the front post, but it's headed to safety.

Milan get away with one! Bennacer makes a mess of a back-pass to Maignan, which falls short.

Kastanos finds himself with space in the box and the keeper out of position, but his shot is deflected wide off Krunic.

Candreva is tripped by Saelemaekers at the edge of the box and Salernitana have a set piece in a good position wide to the left.

The former Inter man whips in a good delivery, but Giroud is there to head it clear as he does his defensive duties too.

That would have been an incredible goal! Milan win a corner and it's sent in high towards the penalty spot.

Giroud, who has his back to goal, leaps into the air and attempts an acrobatic overhead kick, but it flies inches over the bar! Fantastic effort from the veteran Frenchman.

Ok, it hasn't been a thriller so far. But it has been strangely compelling watching these two sides try to work each other out. A real chess match.

That's as close as MIlan have come! First Gyomber makes a superb interception to deny Hernandez from going clean through on goal.

But MIlan work it back into the box and Leao finds space for a shot, which he sends wide of the far post. Better from the hosts.

Leao goes on another dangerous run directly at the Salernitana defence but is tackled.

The ball breaks to Giroud at the edge of the box, but the striker's finish is blocked. Milan struggling to find a way through Sousa's well-drilled side here.

The big man is on the bench tonight as he works his way back to fitness following a lengthy spell out with injury.

Hernandez and Bennacer are both over it and it's the latter who goes for goal, but his effort to curl it over the wall doesn't work out as a member of said wall gets a head on it to divert the shot behind for a corner.

Salernitana clear the danger. There's a bubbling tension to this game, but it's yet to truly break into life.

Milan are pressing very high and keeping Salernitana penned in, and Diaz is brought down by Pirola as he spins at the edge of the area.

This free-kick is in a very good position...

Milan apply some pressure on the Salernitana defence and pen them in, but Bennacer's dangerous cross towards Krunic is just about dealt with.

Leao finds some space in front of him, which is never good news for opposition defences, and drives forward. But his shot from distance is blocked.

The resulting corner is headed clear, but it's been a confident and aggressive start from the visitors.

Salernitana win a free-kick midway into the Milan half, but it's dealt with.

The ball comes back out to Mazzocchi and he goes on a darting run into the box, but his eventual shot is blocked.

That looks like a training ground routine that didn't quite come off, as Bennacer's delivery is towards the edge of the box but cut out by the Salernitana defence.

Saelemaekers drifts a cross towards the back post and it's headed out for the first corner of the game.

Both sides with spells of possession early on as they get settled.
