In a sold-out San Siro, Inter Milan get this season's first Derby della Madonnina underway. Stay tuned for live updates from the match.

An excellent start from Inter Milan. AC Milan fail to clear a corner, and the ball is floated into the box by Dimarco. Thuram had a brilliant first-time attempt at goal, but Maignan did very well to get down in time and keep the danger away.

Inter have been all over their opponent's half in the opening stages of the game. Sucic used his pace to get behind the defenders and make his way into the box, but Tomori clears the danger with a sliding tackle. The Inter half of the stadium scream for penalty, but the challenge was spot on.

After soaking pressure for most of the match, the Rossoneri are trying to push forward through their wings. The ball is played from Bartesaghi to Leao on the left, but the Portuguese's stinging cross is cleared by Acerbi. AC Milan win possession again, and continue their press forward through the right now. Sommer, though, is yet to be tested.

The first real chance of the match, and it falls to tonight's designated home side Inter. It comes from a corner routine as the ball is floated into the box. Acerbi outjumps everyone in a red-black shirt and tries to head it goalwards, but it crashes against the near post and is cleared away.

Inter hit the post yet again!! They have dominated the attack all through the night, and their main man, Lautaro, has a first time volley from just outside the box. Maigan showed superb reflexes to push it away, and it crashes against the post and is cleared by the defence. So unlucky!!

Most of the half has been dictated by Inter, but AC Milan have threatened in flashes, with Saelemaekers amd Pulisic both having attempts that was just wide of the target. The Milanese rivals have a minimum of three minutes of added time to get the breakthrough before half time.

The referee blows his whistle for half-time, and it's goalless at the break at San Siro. Leao earned a yellow card late in injury time for a foul on Barella, but otherwise, it has been a fairly straightforward match with no flashpoints as are common in Milan derbies. A big second half remains.

Both players are out on the pitch, and the second half is underway at San Siro. No half-time chaneges for either side as far as I can see. Stay tuned!

Inter have started the second half with the same intensity from the first half. They have kept up the pressure on Maignan's goal, with Barella being the latest to have an attempt, but it was blocked by Pavlovic and sent behind for a corner that is eventually cleared by the Rossoneri defence.

Pulisic, you beauty!! Against the run of play, it's AC Milan who get the opening goal of the Milan derby! The Rossoneri win the ball near the half-way line and then attacked with pace. Saelemaekers had a low shot from outside the box that beat the reach of Sommer but hit the left post, and Pulisic was in the right place at the right time to turn in the rebound.

Inter have responded well to going behind. They are trying to build up patiently and almost find Lautaro in front of the goalkeeper, but Maignan dove in brilliantly to grab on to the ball from the striker's legs. It wouldn't have mattered anyway as the flag goes up for offside. It's Lautaro's last involvement in the match as he is brought off for Ange-Yoan Bonny.

PENALTY!!! Pavlovic stepped on the foot of Thuram while the latter tried to float in a cross from inside the box. VAR asks the referee to take another look at the incident, and after looking at the pitch-side monitor, the referee awards a penalty to Inter Milan and shows yellow to Pavlovic!

Inter skipper Hakan Calhanoglu steps up to take the penalty for his side. He takes a short run up and then strikes it towards the left, and Maignan saves it!! The Turk, who is one of the best penalty takers in the world, crumbles under the pressure, and it's Milan's French goalkeeper who stands tall!

Changes for both sides. Calhanoglu comes off for Inter and is replaced by Piotr Zielinski – an attacking move from Chivu. Milan, meanwhile, bring on Samuele Ricci and Christopher Nkunku in place of Fofana and Pulisic, respectively.

A late flurry of changes for both sides. Inter Milan throw in all their attackers, bringing on Francesco Pio Esposito and Andy Diouf in place of Barella and Acerbi. Allegri responds by replacing Leao with defensive midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

Inter Milan are really pushing hard for an equaliser, with substitute Diouf playing the ball to Bony, who blasts his shot over the bar from just outside the box. The fourth official indicates a minimum of five additional minutes at the end of the regulation 90.

Inter's intense late pressure fails to break the Rossoneri defence, and the referee finally blows the full-time whistle. Half of San Siro erupts in joy, as do the AC Milan players, as they overtake their rivals and move to second in the Serie A table.
