Half-Time Report: Milan frustrated by Chievo at break

AC Milan fail to break through in a quiet first half against Chievo.

AC Milan have had the best of the first-half chances but have been unable to find a way through against Chievo in the Serie A clash at San Siro.

Sinisa Mihajlovic's side came into the match in 10th place after an uninspiring start to the season, and it was the visitors who had the first opportunity when Valter Birsa crossed for Lucas Castro, but the midfielder's header was saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma.

After winning for the first time in five matches at the weekend the hosts were keen to push on, but they suffered an early blow when Ignazio Abate had to be replaced by Mattea de Sciglio after just 14 minutes.

Andrea Bertolacci had returned to the Milan side after a knee injury and the midfielder nearly marked his comeback with the opening goal after 22 minutes, but he just could not keep his header down from Alessio Cerci's cross.

Cerci then had a good opportunity himself but the striker could only curl wide from the edge of the box as Chievo struggled to contain the hosts' attacking intent.

Milan should have taken the lead six minutes before the whistle when Giacomo Bonaventura met a deep cross from Alex but could not divert his effort into the net and Chievo were able to clear.

Cerci headed wide after a slick move as the hosts edged closer to an opener, but it was the away side who had the last chance of the half when Donnarumma had to turn Sergio Pellissier's header over the bar after Milan's defence had switched off at a set piece.
