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

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

Milan work the ball nicely across the field in the final third before Ibrahimovic looks to penetrate the Cesena back line but his cross is a weak one

Promising signs for the visitors as a dangerous cross is fizzed in from the right but Malonga fails to gamble and the ball drifts out of play

Another sight of goal for Malonga brings another shot but Abbiati is untroubled

First yellow card of the game goes the way of Fabio Caserta for a late challenge on Cassano

Malonga is a man on a mission this evening and leading the line admirably for Cesena thus far. Another shot towards goal that is deflected behind for a corner kick

Mix up in communication between the front three of Milan as a threatening break comes to nothing

Milan slowly settling into their stride in this game after a reltively tentative opening

The home side with a shoot on site policy in the early stages with Ambrosini trying his luck from distance but he, like Silva, fails to hit the target

Milan looking to avenge the defeat to Cesena earlier in the season of course tonight.
