HERNANDEZ GOES DOWN IN THE BOX!
He bundles into Ciurria who comes across to nick the ball away from his feet as he runs towards goal and calls for a penalty, but nothing is given, and rightly so. It would have been very, very soft.

GREAT DEFENDING BY TOMORI
He denies Rovella from close range with a block, which subsequently sets up a potential counter attack, and in an attempt to stop this, Rovella pulls back Diaz and is booked.

HUGE CHANCE MISSED BY HERNANDEZ!
Milan fly forward and Leao feeds Hernandez who runs slightly ahead of him, but with the goal gaping, he sends his effort into the side netting at the near post! A very good chance to give Milan some breathing space squandered.
54'
BIRINDELLI BOOKED
Samuele Birindelli is cautioned for simulation after going down in the box after a challenge from Hernandez. Milan breathe a sigh of relief.

BIG CHANCE FOR MONZA!
It's two-on-two as Dany Mota drives down the centre of the pitch before feeding Petagna, but the striker's shot is straight at Tatarusanu.
