Welcome to our live coverage of Catania v Milan, the Serie A leaders looking to extend their lead.

Merkel is walking a tightrope as he fouls Sciacca. He's already been booked...

A classic Van Bommel scythe leaves Spolli writhing about holding his face. No surprises then, MvB booked on his Serie A debut.

Poor, poor ball wide from Ledesma that leaves Lopez no chance of getting it.

Fairly aimless long ball from Merkel leaves Ibra stranded.

All a bit cagey now as neither side gets any string of passes together.

With Silva down, Capuano smacks the ball out for a throw. It seems Lopez caught him with a stray finger.

Gomez is left in a heap by Ambrosini. Taken quickly, Capuano on the left now, he finds Lopez but Goemz can't meet the ball inside.

A bright Catania attack is stopped in its tracks by Van Bommel. Long for Cassano but too long and Andujar takes it.

Mascara on the left fails to put the ball in for Maxi. The early tempo has eased somewhat.

Robinho finds Bonera wide right, tasty low cross but the keeper gets there before Cassano.

Ibra goes down after colliding with Spolli but the ref doesn't even acknowledge him. Seconds later the big Swede nods down Bonera's cross for Cassano but he almost hits it out of the ground.

Merkel is booked for a little kick between the legs of an opponent. Ow.

Cassano's great skill fails to keep the ball in on the left.

Robinho on the move, he threads it in for Ibra who is half a yard offside.

Good tempo from Catania, who are testing Milan's ageing legs with some quick-pass and-move football.

A Catania free-kick is sent into the box but Abbiati claims.

Cassano with a genius first touch on the right wing, winning a corner off Capuano. Yepes's header goes straight into the arms of Andujar.

Free-kick to Milan on the right but it's sent too far wide and Ibra does well just to keep it in.

Catania break Lopez on the left slides a wicked pass inside for LEDESMA WHO MUST BE IN but deflected off Yepes and wide! Goal kick awarded though, and the replay shows that it didn't hit Yepes and Ledesma was guilty of a bad miss!

Ibra shows good control on the right surrounded by a gang of Catania players but he has no support and the hosts clear.

Robinho almost feeds Cassano but good defending by Silvestre.
