TONALI DRAWS DANGEROUS FOUL

Messias gets on the end of it but smashes his shot well off target.

THE LUCK SAMP NEEDED?
Having most of the second half against 10 men could be exactly the opportunity the home side need to get their first win of the season.
47'
RAFAEL LEAO SENT OFF
The Portuguese went for the spectacular bicycle kick but accidentally shinned defender Alex Ferrari in the head.
Already being on a yellow, Leao is dismissed from the field.
He sticks around a while to protest, but he'll have to go.

HALF TIME
Sampdoria go in trailing after the early goal by Messias, and it could have been worse had not De Ketelaere's goal been ruled by VAR.
They've not played poorly, but there is a real lack of quality in attack for the home side.
In contrast, Rafael Leao gives Milan game changing quality and looks likely to do damage every time he gets the ball.

AUDERO HAS TO BE BRAVE
Samp's keeper races off his line and dives at the feet of Giroud to snuff out a late half chance.
45'
MILAN IN NO HURRY
The visitors look happy to finish this half without any bother as they push the ball around aimlessly.

GREAT SAVE AUDERO
After making a poor save for the Milan opener, Audero makes amends with a great stop to deny Giroud.
The veteran striker drives his shot right down Audero's throat, but the goalkeeper still has to twist and get low to make the save.
