AC Milan are drawing 1-1 with Empoli at half time of their Serie A match.

Empoli had the first chance of the match when Lorenzo Tonelli's shot was deflected behind for a corner.

In the 13th minute, Massimo Maccarone found space inside the box but a last-ditch tackle prevented him from scoring.

Carlos Bacca broke the deadlock four minutes later, with a strike from inside the area.

Milan held the lead for just three minutes though. Riccardo Saponara finished from 10 yards after a Maccarone through-ball split the Milan defence.

Manuel Pucciarelli nearly gave Empoli the lead in the 22nd minute, but his shot from the edge of the area skimmed the crossbar.

Luiz Adriano and Suso both had chances in the closing stages of the first half, but they failed to hit the target.
