Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's live text coverage of AC Milan v Cesena

Still no joy for Milan in front of goal as Robinho is guilty of yet more wastefulness as he blasts wide of the near post from a tight angle

Ibrahimovic with a neat control and shot but play is pulled back for an offside decision against the giant Swede

It has been a refreshingly open game so far at the San Siro between two sides at opposite ends of the table

Merkel is caught napping as Cassano picks him out with a delicate through ball. The youngster clearly wasn;t expecting that.

Problems with the newly laid San Siro playing surface it would seem with a series of slips and bobbles.

Milan really showing their class in the last 15 minutes without finding the killer touch in front of goal. Will they be punished for their ineptitude?

How is it still goalless? Another scramble in the Cesena box and Antonini fluffs his lines in front of goal

It is fast becoming Milan's game as Silva drills a dangerous ball into the box but Cesena scramble clear.

End to end stuff at the San Siro as Schelotto gets to the byline and whips a fierce cross in to the sidenetting

Clear cut chance goes begging for the increasingly fluent Milan. Cassano plays in Ibrahimovic but he shoots straight at the advancing Antonioli who has been busy in the last 10 minutes

Loose ball bounces dangerously in the Cesena penalty area but eventually the clearance is made before the lurking Robinho can strike

Much better from the league leaders there but still lacking at the final hurdle. Disappointing finish from Robinho who had Cassano in support

First genuine chance for the home side as Ibrahimovic releases Robinho. A swift stepover later and the Brazilian shoots left footed from the 18 yard line but Antonioli is more than equal to it

After that hectic spell it's back to football as Silva picks out Robinho who volleys tamely into the arms of Antonioli

Confirmation of that enforced substitution then as Papastathopoulos replaces the injured Nesta

Another flash of yellow from the referee's pocket with Antonini the guilty man

It is not looking good for Nesta as he makes his way tentatively to the treatment room while Papastathopoulos gets stripped from the bench

The veteran defender falling awkwardly after commiting a clumsy challenge that brings the second yellow card of the game

Injury concern for Milan and Nesta who goes down clutching his shoulder

Abbiati to Milan's rescue there with a point blank save. Major let off for Anonini there and Cesena should be in front

Real danger for Milan as Antonini sells his goalkeeper well short with a mishit backpass allowing Schelotto a free run at goal but he opts to shoot when the square ball to Malonga was the better option
