Milan-Lille: 0-3 - Europa League 2020/2021. Final result and commentary from the game

FULL-TIME: MILAN 0-3 LILLE22:53

Lille will top Group H as it stands, a point ahead of Milan in second position and they'll remain unbeaten in the Europa League this season.22:52

There will be a minimum of four minutes added time played at the end of the game.22:49

Superb run by Lihadji from inside his own half, he sprints past a couple of Milan defenders and gets all the way to the edge of the penalty area, before firing a powerful effort at goal. However, it flies just over the bar.22:49

Lille are happy for Milan to have the ball now, as they are keeping their shape well and preventing the Italian side from getting into their final third.22:48

GREAT CHANCE! Rafael with an excellent opportunity to pull one back for Milan! Hernandez delivers a lovely ball into the box for the striker, who takes a touch and then only has the keeper to beat, but he somehow volleys his shot wide of the post from 10 yards out.22:47

There is just a few minutes left on the clock now, can Milan get a consolation goal late on? Or, will Lille catch them out on the break again and make it four?22:43

Another Lille substitution now, with Bamba heading off the pitch and he has been replaced by Mandava.22:43

Romagnoli is booked for his blatant challenge on David, after the striker tried to break forward on the counter and sprint into the Milan half.22:42

CLOSE! Bamba almost makes it 4-0! It's another quick counter by the visitors, which then appears to be snuffed out by Romagnoli, but he takes too long on the ball and Bamba nicks it off his toes on the edge of the penalty area and then fires a powerful shot towards goal. However, it flies just over the bar.22:41

The substitution by the visitors sees Renato Sanches replaced by Soumare.22:39

Lille make a couple more substitutions, the first sees Yazici head off the pitch after his three goal haul and he has been replaced by Yilmaz.22:39

Milan make their fifth and final substitution now, with Diaz coming off the pitch and he has been replaced by Hauge.23:00

Milan haven't really done much to suggest that they are going to be able to get back into this game, as Lille look very comfortable in all positions at the moment.22:35

Celik is booked for his late challenge on Rafael down the right wing as the Milan man flicked the ball away from him just in the nick of time.22:36

SAVE! Really good pressing by Lille and they win back possession inside the Milan final third, the ball finds it's way to Yazici, who tries his luck at a fourth goal. However, his effort towards the near post is well palmed away by Donnarumma from a tight angle.22:59

Milan have only lost one of their 15 home matches against French sides in all European competitions (W10 D4) – a 2-0 loss against Lille.22:59

The other game being played in Group H now is between Celtic and Sparta Prague and the Czech side currently lead 2-1 at Celtic Park.22:29

Lille are controlling the game quite well now, keeping the ball well but not trying to attack and extend their lead as they already have a very comfortable scoreline in their favour.22:26

The other Lille change sees Ikone replaced by Lihadji.22:26

Lille now make a double substitution of their own, with Xeka heading off the pitch and he has been replaced by Andre.22:25

CHANCE! Rebic has only been on the pitch a couple of minutes and he has already had an effort at goal, after he raced in behind the Lille defence and got on the end of a pass from Tonali. However, his effort from a tight angle is well saved by Maignan at the near post.22:24

Ibrahimovic is also taken off for Milan and Rebic is his replacement.22:22

Another double substitution here by Milan and the first change sees Tonali come off the pitch to be replaced by Bennacer.22:21

David could've gone for goal himself, but instead he spotted the run of his team-mate next to him and the striker produced a brilliant finish to make it three.22:45

Can Milan get back into the game quickly? There is plenty of time left on the clock for them to turn this match around and keep their unbeaten streak going.22:21

Yazici and Ikone link up well and the latter lays it off to his team-mate, who has plenty of time and space to fire an effort towards goal.22:16

This is the first meeting between Milan and Lille since the 2006-07 Champions League – Lille held Milan to a 0-0 draw in France before winning 2-0 in Italy.22:13

Neither team is able to get the ball on the ground and control it at the moment, it's quite scrappy in midfield with both sides battling for possession.22:13

Kjaer rises well at a corner and powers a header towards goal, but the effort is well blocked by Botman. The resulting corner isn't dealt with very well by Lille and a shot is fired towards goal from close range by Kessie, but it flies high over the bar.22:38

Wild effort! Renato Sanches steps up to take a free-kick from around 30 yards out. However, he gets it all wrong and the ball flies high over the Milan crossbar.22:07

The second half is under way!22:05

The other Milan change sees Castillejo replaced by Rafael.22:04

Milan have made two substitutions ahead of the second half, the first sees Krunic replaced by Calhanoglu.22:04

Lille hadn't had many opportunities in front of goal prior to their goal, with only one chance falling to David just before the penalty and Milan failed to clear their lines, which led to the spot-kick.21:59

Lille lead 1-0 at the break after Yazici fired them ahead from the penalty spot on 21 minutes following Romagnoli's foul on striker just inside the box. Milan have had a few chances to score, with the best two opportunities falling to Hernandez down the left wing, but his efforts have been well blocked or saved by Maignan. Ibrahimovic also went close with a powerful free-kick, but again the Lille keeper was equal to it.21:51

HALF-TIME: MILAN 0-1 LILLE21:48

Neither side are testing the oppositions defences at the moment, the pace of the game has dropped in the last few minutes as Lille look to see the game out to half-time.21:47

Lille have lost each of their last three matches against Italian sides, most recently against Inter in October and November 2011 in the Champions League.21:44

There's not long left to play at San Siro before the end of the first half now, can Milan get back into the game before the half-time whistle?21:42

CHANCE! Hernandez breaks free down the left wing as Castillejo plays a lovely ball across the pitch into his path and the left-back takes a touch and has time and space to fire an effort towards goal. However, the strike is too close to Maignan and the Lille keeper makes a good save, spilling the effort at first, but he then gathers quickly on the second attempt.21:42

The first yellow card of the game is shown to Zeka after his late foul on Diaz deep inside the Milan half of the pitch.21:39

Ibrahimovic hasn't been involved much for Milan so far, as they have struggled to get him on the ball up top, with the Lille defence doing a good job of marking him.21:37

We're past the half an hour mark here at San Siro and it's remains Lille who lead 1-0 thanks to Yazici's penalty after 21 minutes. The French side look the more dangerous in attack at the moment as well, with Milan looking short of ideas up front.21:36

Decent effort! It's a poor clearance by Milan and the ball falls straight to the feet of Celik on the edge of the penalty area. However, his shot flies well wide of Donnarumma's goal.21:34

Lille look more confident now they are a goal ahead, keeping the ball better and the Milan defence don't look particularly comfortable at the back so far. The visitors are causing problems.21:31

On match day one against Sparta Prague, Lille won away from home in the Europa League for the first time since October 2009 – they have never won consecutive away games in the competition.21:29

SAVE! Ibrahimovic fires a free-kick towards goal from around 25 yards out, it's a powerful effort that beats the wall and forces Maignan into making a very good save. However, the effort was fairly straight and towards him, either side of the keeper and that looked like it would be in.21:56

Free-kick to Milan in an excellent shooting position now, just outside the penalty area after Diaz is brought down by Fonte and it looks like Ibrahimovic is going to step up and take it.21:27

The effort from David was Lille's first of the game and Milan just couldn't get rid of the ball and Lille penned them inside the final third, before winning the penalty after a clumsy foul in the box.21:33

LILLE PENALTY! Milan fail to clear the danger following David's chance and Romagnoli barges into the back of Yazici as the pair battle for the ball just inside the penalty area and the striker goes down straight away, as there seems to be a heavy contact. The referee immediately points to the spot and Lille have the chance to take an early lead.21:25

SAVE! Donnarumma is called into action for the first time in the game as Lille break forward quickly and David gets in behind the Milan defence and fires a low shot towards goal. However, the keeper makes himself big and makes a superb stop to deny the visitors.21:24

CHANCE! Hernandez gets forward down the left, overlaps Ibrahimovic and sprints into the box, he takes on Botman at the near post and tries to drill the ball into the back of the net from a tight angle. However, the defender gets across well and blocks the effort, sending it into the side netting.21:45

Milan win their first corner of the game now as Hernandez sees his cross into the box blocked and it goes out of play. However, Lille defend the set piece well and clear the danger.21:20

The game is quite scrappy at the moment, with a few cheap fouls been given away as both teams battle for possession. It's still Milan who are dominating, but the pace is quite slow and they don't yet look like creating an opportunity in front of goal.21:18

Decent effort! Krunic wins a free-kick to Milan in a decent position in the Lille half and Tonali delivers it into the penalty area, which is met by the head of Ibrahimovic. However, his header lacks any pace to beat Maignan, who comfortably gathers.21:45

Diaz has scored in each of his last two Europa League games for Milan, and could be the first player since teammate Ibrahimovic in 2011-12 (a run of five) to score in three consecutive games for the club in major European competition.21:12

Both teams are unbeaten so far this season in their respective domestic leagues, so it could be a tight game between two strong and in form sides.21:12

Milan take too long in clearing the ball as they try and play it out from the back and they get penned in by Lille, with Hernandez caught in possession and they then give away a corner. However, the set piece comes to nothing as Donnarumma gathers comfortably in the air.21:09

Lille can't get a touch on the ball at the moment, they are camped inside their own half, but are playing a good high press which is preventing Milan from getting into their final third.21:07

It's the hosts with the early possession here, keeping the ball well in the middle of the pitch and making Lille chase it around the field, with everyone back defending so far.21:04

We're under way!21:02

The teams are out on the pitch and kick-off is just a few minutes away, stay tuned for all of the match action!20:58
