Juventus 1-0 Milan: Supercoppa Italiana – as it happened

And with that, I’m off. Bye!

And up it goes! There is a disappointing lack of sparkle and firework as Chiellini hoists the Supercoppa skyward, but only because someone was a bit late pressing the button. Then suddenly the sky is full of gold and silver. Better late than never, eh?

Chiellini steps up last, and as captain will lift the hefty trophy.

Now Juve are queueing up for their gold versions.

The Milan players are picking up their silver medals.

Pjanic’s pass to set up the goal just clipped the studs of a defender, aiding its path towards Ronaldo.

Handbags! There’s some post-match on-field fury, with Higuain at the heart of it. Presumably he’s unimpressed with the referee’s failure to award a penalty in the 87th minute. Or it’s something else. Whatever.

That was, really, pretty humdrum. Inevitably, Ronaldo rose above the rest to provide the one moment of true incision.

90+4 mins: Dybala is booked for clinging on to Higuain on the half-way line.

90+3 mins: Milan are trying to find an equaliser, but they can’t find a gap in the Juve rearguard, while at the other end it looks like Juventus could find another goal pretty easily if they really put their minds to it.

90+1 mins: Massive gaping chasms are opening up in Milan’s defence. Ronaldo has the ball with three team-mates available to his right, but he’s more interested in having an optimistic shot of his own. It’s saved.

90+1 mins: There will be five minutes of stoppage time, plenty long enough for Milan to change the course of this game (though they don’t look likely to do so).

90 mins: Khedira comes on for Douglas Costa, who is also limping a bit.
