Good evening everyone and welcome to LIVE updates from Serie A, where AC Milan are hosting Brecia at the San Siro.

Clumsy tackle, this one from Boateng on Daprela. Milan yet to hit the highs of the first half.

Yepes somewhat unceremoniously flattens Caracciolo. That's one way of stopping him.

Pirlo with a chance to pull the strings from deep - he picks out Boateng who tries a classy flick to Robinho.

Ibrahimovic tries a cute pass through to Robinho but it doesn't quite find its mark. He looks at his foot as if he's hurt himself.

Diamanti looks as if he might have found some space for Brescia, but no - here come Ambrosini, Gattuso and Pirlo to strangle him and win the ball back for the hosts.

Caracciolo gets on the end of a cross from the left, but his header loops up to Abbiati.

One change to let you know about at the interval - Milan have replaced Nesta with Yepes.

Brescia start the second half!

HALF-TIME: Barely a moment of injury time, but that will be a relief to Brescia. Milan were running riot in the first half. Join us for the second half to see how this one ends.

Thiago Silva drives it with real venom, but directly at the wall.

Gattuso draws a foul - and a booking - from Martinez after the controlling a loose ball. Useful spot for a free kick.

Hetemaj bundles Ambrosini off the ball and gives away a free kick. The visitors look short on ideas.

Robinho almost picks out Ibrahimovic with a sweetly-judged ball. If Milan can keep this form up in the second half it could be highly enjoyable to watch these players in full flight.

BOATENG CLOSE! A delightful move, with multiple passes before a perfectly-weighted touch from Ibra let in the Ghana international, who lashes just over.

From OptaPaolo on Twitter - "8- Milan and Brescia have shared the points in eight of their last 11 Serie A encounters. Even." Not today, though.

Possession 60/40 in Milan's favour so far. They've dominated on every front.

Caracciolo and Nesta are having a good tussle on the rare occasions that Brescia get forward. It's a shame that it's rendered almost meaningless by the scoreline.

Abate makes a sensational run cutting in from the right plays it towards Ibrahimovic - and for once the Swede's touch lets him down to stop the move in full flight.

PIRLO FORCES A SAVE! Sereni parries at the far post and it almost fell to Milan. Real trouble for the visitors.

Robinho wins a free kick just half a yard outside the penalty area. Good chance which Ibra and Pirlo are looking at.

Bad news continues for Brescia - Sereni is clutching his shoulder after that save - he put his body on the line and is suffering - but carrying on for now.
