Play by play
- 90'
FULL TIME There is no injury time at San Siro as Milan close out a superb 5-2 win over Genoa. Beckham's second debut was a fine one but Marco Boriello was the star of the show with two goals. Thanks for following the game with us.
- 88'
Ronaldinho takes a late corner and although Ambrosini chests down in the box, he cannot get a shot away and Genoa clear.
- 85'
Genoa are enjoying a good spell but it is too little, too late for the visitors.
- 84'
Luca Antonini requires treatment after an aerial clash with Argentinian striker Rodrigo Palacio. However, the full back appears to be okay.
- 82'
Former Milan striker Hernan Crespo comes on as a substitute for Suazo as Genoa make a late change.
- 79'
GOAL! David Suazo beats two men before lashing a fine shot past Dida and into the far corner. No more than a consolation.
- 78'
Don't worry, we will still be covering the rest of the game even if Mr Beckham has gone off the pitch, and it really has been a superb match for Milan who will be going above Juve into second place.
- 76'
David Beckham earns a standing ovation from the San Siro crowd as he is taken off by Leonardo. A good evening's work for the England man who showed some nice touches. Marek Jankulovski comes on in his place.
- 74'
GOAL! Ronaldinho decides against taking a third spot-kick and instead Klaas-Jan Huntelaar steps up to bury his shot and claim his third Serie A goal of the season.
- 73'
PENALTY FOR MILAN! Ronaldinho is pulled down in the box by Marco Rossi.
- 71'
Gennaro Gattuso is through on goal and looking for a fifth but, true to form, he lacks the potency of a finisher and Amelia rushes off his line to save.
- 70'
Domenico Criscito fires one just over the bar from 20 yards as Genoa go in search of a consolation. Nice effort from the defender.
- 69'
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar gets confused for a second and thinks he is Marco van Basten, but the current Milan striker cannot emulate the former Rossoneri hero as his volley from a tight angle flies well wide.
- 66'
Now Milan continue the string of substitutions as Marco Boriello comes off to be replaced by Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. The Dutchman has been linked with a move this January, can he impress tonight?
- 66'
Albeto Zapater also comes on for Genoa and immediately tests Dida with a stinging free kick from 25 yards.
- 65'
Milan make a change as former Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini replaces Andrea Pirlo.
- 62'
Well Milan can feel fairly confident that their work is done for tonight. Maybe they can put a few more on the scoreboard though.
- 60'
GOAL! Marco Boriello scores a superb fourth to put the result beyond doubt. Ambrosini chips the ball to the back post and Boriello executes a perfect overhead kick that bounces out of reach of Amelia and in off the far post. Wow.
- 59'
Brilliant from Ronaldinho as he produces his trademark trick, you know the one. Sadly the cross is not up to much.
- 58'
Nesta attempts to drill a long pass into Boriello but the striker has no chance of collecting that. This game is lacking a spark at present, unsurprisingly given Milan are in firm control.
- 55'
Beckham attempts to unleash Boriello with a long ball over the top and though Genoa deal with the initial pass, Boriello makes a nuisance of himself and almost punishes the visitors.
- 53'
Milan look very comfortable at present and it will take something extraordinary for them to foul things up from this position. You never know, though...
- 50'
It really is a long way back for Genoa now. Sculli attempts to inject some life into his side when bursting into the box but his jinking run is brought to an end.
- 50'
Beckham attempts to pick out Ronaldinho with a searching pass from deep but his radar is off and Genoa deal with it easily.
- 48'
GOAL! Boriello makes it 3-1! The striker scores for the fourth successive game at San Siro after tapping home following an unselfish pass from Antonini. Ronaldinho had played in the left back with a fine pass.
