82'
BLOCK! Sosa's free-kick strikes the wall and Ocampos' efforts to keep the ball in play are in vain as it crosses the byline for a corner.

Ocampos is caught on the edge of the box by Bonucci and the visitors win a free-kick in a dangerous position. Sosa stands over the ball.

66'
WIDE! Bertolacci sends a deep cross into the box from a set-piece on the left flank. Kucka rises to head at goal, but he fails to make contact, and sees the ball bounce agonisingly past the post. That was close for the visitors.

Deulofeu showed the bad side to his game minutes ago, but atones by leading an impressive break before teeing up Bacca to score.
GOALLLL!!!!! BACCA EQUALISES! Milan are level due to a fine-flowing move on the counter. Deulofeu is releasesd by Pasalic and he races past Barzagli down the left flank before poking a pass to Bacca. The striker takes one touch to control before sending the second through Buffon's legs. Clinical from the Colombian.
41'

34'

GOALLLL!!!! BENATIA FIRES JUVE AHEAD! It comes from an unlikely source but the Bianconeri make their pressure count and take the lead.

The visitors appeal for offside, but the linesman keeps his flag down as Benatia controls the ball on his chest before smashing his volley past Donnarumma.
Alves unlocks the Milan defence with a lofted pass over the backline, allowing Benatia to beat the offside trap and find the net.
28'
MISS! Dybala breaks into space down the right flank and has time to pick out Higuain in the box. The Argentine looks to strike the ball first time, but he swings and misses, allowing the visitors to clear.
26'
Higuain's not happy with the linesman. The Argentine is blocked off from Alves' cross into the box, but Paletta eases him out the way. There was nothing in that challenge for the Juve striker to be annoyed about.
24'
CHANCE! Higuain has a sight at goal as he turns Paletta on the edge of the box and fires low towards the bottom corner, only for Donnarumma to beat his effort away. Dybala keeps the attack alive, but his strike is deflected into the hands of the Milan stopper.
23'
M. Pašalić gets yellow.
Pasalic catches Pjanic late and the referee goes to his pocket to book the midfielder. Harsh on the Milan midfielder.
The Rossoneri have offered very little in attack thus far this evening, which will concern Montella as his side cannot afford to be encamped on the edge of their own box.

16'
De Sciglio and Alves battle down the flank, with the Italian coming out on top in an aerial duel. Allegri has opted to push Alves forward this evening due to Cuadrado's absence.
14'
Alves fails to connect with Higuain in the final third, with the striker not on the same page as the Brazilian. As a result, his ball over the top is gathered by Donnarumma.
12'
The home side are putting Milan on the back foot with a strong period of possession. The Rossoneri are struggling to break out of their own half at the moment.
10'
Juve's strong start continues, but they failed to capitalise on half-chances in the box. First Bonucci takes a wild swing at the ball, failing to make contact in the six-yard box, while Benatia fails to guide his headed effort on target from Dybala's cross.
9'
SAVE! Dybala latches on to a loose ball on the edge of the box and hammers an effort on the half-volley towards the bottom corner. The ball dips towards the post, forcing Donnarumma to turn the ball past the post.
8'
WIDE! Dybala surges through the middle of the Milan defence before he goes down in the box. Pjaca collects the loose ball, but guides his effort just past the post. Dybala is furious that he was not awarded a penalty as Zapata caught his foot, but the referee was not convinced.
6'
Bonucci takes an early knock to the face as Romagnoli catches him in their aerial tussle in the box. He has to walk off the pitch - after receiving treatment - before he can return.
4'
CHANCES! Alves sends a cross in from the right and Pjaca carves out space for a strike and fires towards the bottom corner. Donnarumma makes a fine save, but Khedira pounces on the rebound, only for Paletta to make an important block.
2'
An early spell of pressure ends for the visitors as Pasalic sends the ball over Deulofeu's head on the right flank. That will not settle any early nerves for the midfielder.
1'
We're underway in this Serie A contest.
Almost immediately a long ball finds Deulofeu in space down the right inside channel, but his low cross into the box is blocked by Bonucci.
This is a huge contest for the Bianconeri as they can move 11 points clear at the top of the table and take a huge stride towards the title, heaping pressure on Roma and Napoli in second and third place respectively.
Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the Serie A clash between Juventus and AC Milan.
Milan boosted their push for a European place last week with a 3-1 win over Chievo, but Vincenzo Montella's men need to maintain that form until the end of the campaign to get back to playing matches on the continent.
Montella added a hint of drama to the contest by suggesting that he would be open to managing Juventus in the future - in light of reports linking Massimiliano Allegri with a move to Arsenal. Pretty sure the Rossoneri hierarchy were not thrilled to be hearing that this week.
Before that contest, Juve had reeled off nine wins on the bounce over the Rossoneri, including triumphing in last year's Coppa Italia final.
AC Milan subs: Plizzari, Storari, Antonelli, Calabria, Gomez, Vangioni, Mati Fernandez, Kucka, Poli, Lapadula, Suso.
AC MILAN (4-3-3): Donnarumma; De Sciglio, Zapata, Paletta, Romagnoli; Pasalic, Sosa, Bertolacci; Deulofeu, Bacca, Ocampos.
Juve have made three changes from their draw against Udinese last time out. Andrea Barzagli, Mehdi Benatia and Kwadwo Asamoah all come into the side this evening.
BREAKING TEAM NEWS: Juventus forward Mario Mandzukic misses out this evening due to illness. Marko Pjaca replaces him in the line-up.
Milan have held the advantage over Juve in their three meetings this term, beating the Bianconeri on penalties in the Italian Super Cup and also in their earlier Serie A match-up at the San Siro with Manuel Locatelli scoring the only goal of the game.
Mario Palasic and Lucas Ocampos also start as Locatelli has the flu, while Suso failed a fitness test and starts from the bench.
Milan have made three changes from the side that defeated Chievo last week. Gabriel Paletta replaces Leonel Vangioni, with Alessio Romagnoli switching to left-back.
The players are making their way out on to the pitch, so we should be underway shortly.
HALF-TIME: JUVENTUS 1-1 AC MILAN
It's level at the break between Juventus and AC Milan after a curious opening 45 minutes. The home side were dominant and deservedly took the lead through Mehdi Benatia, only for the Rossoneri to respond just before the interval as Carlos Bacca found the net.
Massimiliano Allegri will be imploring his team to be more clinical in the final third, while Vincenzo Montella will also want to see more from his side going forward.
The players have returned for the second half - so we should be back underway shortly.
FULL-TIME: JUVENTUS 2-1 AC MILAN
Juventus extend their lead at the top of Serie A to 11 points thanks to Paulo Dybala's late penalty. It was a controverial call as Mattia De Sciglio had no time to react to the ball being played in his direction, but the official behind the goal instructed the referee to award the spot-kick and Dybala held his nerve to hand his side the three points.
Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
Milan will be raging and are well within their rights to do so as they continue their quest to qualify for Europe next term. They played well this evening and deserved a point from the clash.
