MILAN - Tear gas interrupted AC Milan's 2-0 win at Genoa on Friday night, filling the stands of Stadio Luigi Ferraris and causing an interruption of about 10 minutes early in the first half.
Most of the players returned to the dressing room, while some fans were visibly affected. Local media reports said the tear gas was released by police to disperse some supporters outside the stadium.
Defending champion Milan (8-2-3) moved into first place, one game ahead of Juventus (7-0-5).
Zlatan Ibrahimovic converted a penalty kick in the 56th minute after he was brought down in the area by former Milan defender Kakha Kaladze, who was ejected for his second yellow card. Antonio Nocerino, who played five games for Genoa, doubled Milan's lead in the 79th.

GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) ? The Scottish Premier League game between Motherwell and Hibernian was abandoned at halftime after an electrical fire inside the stadium.
Hibernian was ahead 1-0 on a 16th-minute goal by Garry O'Connor when fans were asked to vacate the stadium after the teams failed to reappear for the second half.
No injuries were reported.
Several fire trucks and police officers gathered during the first half behind the South Stand, where the visiting fans were located. One of the floodlights in the South Stand went out after the teams didn't appear for the second half, and moments later it was announced that the match had been abandoned.
