Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the opening day Serie A clash between Verona and AC Milan. We'll keep you informed of all the action and goals as they go in. Kick off: 17:00.

What did you make of the game? Will Verona stay up this season? What can Allegri do to turn things round for Milan? Let me know on Twitter (@grahamruthven).

What a win for newly promoted Verona! After a poor start they showed great spirit and determination to come back and record a 2-1 win over a very strong Milan side. There are concerns for Allegri though.

FULL TIME: Verona 2-1 AC Milan

One last chance for Milan from a freekick, but after Rafael flaps at the delivery the whistle goes and Verona have the win!

YELLOW CARD: Mario Balotelli (Milan)

Balotelli is tripped in the box by Moras but the referee tells the Italian striker to get up, much to his rage. Looked like a penalty to me.

Four minutes of added time to be played.

Cacia wins the ball inside the Milan half and his shot is saved low down by the Milan keeper.

Zapata gets his head on a deep corner kick to to the back post but Rafael gets up high to catch the ball.

Milan have had 12 shots on goal today but only three on target. Speaks volumes of their performance.

Milan are pushing Verona back into their own box. Can Balotelli take any of these chances? Only a few minutes left to play.

Balotelli curls a shot towards goal from 20 yards but Rafael dives to his left to save well!

Verona sub: Luca Toni OFF, Daniele Cacia ON.

Montolivo powers a shot at goal, taking a bounce in front of the keeper, but Rafael does well to parry the ball away from goal.

Milan are lacking a poacher in attack. If they had one he would have put the finishing touch on Robinho's cross a matter of seconds ago.

Big chance for Milan, with Balotelli playing Robinho to the byline. But the Brazilian's fizzed pass across the face of goal doesn't find a teammate.

Verona sub: Raphael Martino OFF, J Gomez Taleb ON.

AC Milan sub: Kevin Constant OFF, Robinho ON.

Verona are increasingly using the counter attack to relieve pressure on their own goal. They need more of an option from their midfielders.

Toni is brought down in the box by Constant but Calvarese waves away another claim for a spot kick. He's letting everything go at the moment!
