Half-Time Report: AC Milan and Parma level at the break

AC Milan are being held to a 1-1 draw at half time by Parma in Serie A this evening.

Antonio Nocerino's goal cancelled out Jeremy Menez's opener in what has been a lively first 45 minutes at the San Siro.

Menez gave the Rossoneri the lead from the penalty spot after Cristian Rodriguez was judged to have handled inside the area.

However, the visitors responded less than 10 minutes later when Nocerino lost debutant Salvatore Bocchetti at the back post to steer home from a delivery into the box.

Alex went close when his low free kick cannoned off the post and Adil Rami blazed the rebound high over the bar as Milan searched for the lead once more.

Rami was fortunate to escape when he was caught in possession by Nocerino five minutes before the break, and the French defender had goalkeeper Diego Lopez to thank for making the save.
