FULL-TIME: CAGLIARI 0-1 MILAN
Milan hold on for a priceless victory here in Sardinia! Despite the hosts smacking the crossbar in injury time, Pioli's men hold on to go top of the Serie A table!
OFF THE BAR!
Cagliari smack the upright! Zappa's cross is met by a diving Pavoletti, who directs his header into the ground before bouncing up and smacking the frame of the goal. Maignan looked beaten there and he looks relieved!

CHANCE!
A big chance for Cagliari! Deiola hits a low strike from 25-yards, and it is met by Joao Pedro inside the area. He pops the ball into the air and hits it on the volley, but it is deflected wide by a Tomori deflection!
He looked offside, but any goal there would've stood!

DOUBLE CHANGE FOR MILAN
Brahim Diaz and Rafael Leao make way for Ante Rebic and Rade Krunic. This suggests a slight alteration in shape by Stefano Pioli.
In other news, it is absolutely chucking it down in Sardinia. It may come to have an effect on the pitch the heavier it gets.

BENNACER BRILLIANCE
What a goal to take the lead!
GOALLLLL! WHAT A FINISH!
Milan lead - and it's a stunning strike by Ismael Bennacer!
Brahim plays a ball into the box, which Giroud lays off with the flick for Bennacer to hit on the volley first-time, and the Algerian hits it low into the bottom corner!
Goal
I. Bennacer
COMES TO NOTHING
Cagliari win a free-kick in a dangerous area on the left-hand side just outside the box. Marin delivers the ball in, but the first contact is cleared, with the second easily gathered by Maignan in the Milan goal.
GOOD SAVE!
Cragno makes a fingertip save to keep Hernandez's stinging effort from distance out! The defender lines one up from 25-yards and hits it cleanly. The Cagliari goalkeeper just about tips the ball over the bar for a corner.
