KALULU HITS THE BAR!
That was the moment for Milan, surely. A ball into the box evades Giroud but falls for Kalulu, who smashes a shot onto the crossbar and watches helplessly as it ricochets away.
SIMPLE SAVE
Adli crashes a shot on target from long range, but it's too close to Meret.
FINAL CHANGE FOR MILAN
Pioli brings off De Ketelaere, introducing Yacine Adli in his place.

GOOD EFFORT!
Zerbin gets in behind on the right and blasts at goal from a tight angle, forcing Maignan into an awkward save.
GOAL!
What a header. Rui floats an inviting cross into the box and Simeone thumps past Maignan and into the far corner.
Goal
G. Simeone
GIROUD FIRES OVER
It's a little too ambitious, that. Giroud turns on his heel and has a crack from distance, but it floats harmlessly into the night sky.
TOMORI CAUTIONED
... after catching Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa with a late challenge.
Yellow card
F. Tomori
GOAL!
After a largely infuriating performance, it's classic Giroud. Hernandez tears down the left and cuts back for the Frenchman, who smashes in from close range.
Goal
O. Giroud
SO CLOSE!
De Ketelaere spots Messias on the charge and picks him out, only for Meret to make another stellar save and push his first-time shot wide.

CLOSE!
Hernandez picks out Giroud with a low cross and he tees up Saelemaekers on the edge of the area, but his shot is blocked by Kim.
WAYWARD SHOT
Milan win a corner, which is cleared as far as Saelemaekers. He goes for a speculative shot from distance which sails into the stands.
GIROUD FLUFFS HIS LINES
The former Arsenal and Chelsea man grapples with Kim in the area, getting a foot to the ball only to miskick it.
