A.C Milan 3-0 Palermo: http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robinho-c31382 inspires Champions to an emphatic victory: 2nd half report
Things went from bad to worse for the Rosanero, as their inspirational skipper, Miccoli, struggled to continue the game and had to be substituted during the interval. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Edgar-c11882 Alvarez replaced the former Juventus star.
The visitors started with a strong move which finished with nothing as Edgar http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barreto-c7308 picked up the first booking of the second half for showing dissent over referee’s decision of not awarding his side a corner.
The Champions continued to threaten as Ibrahimovic found Cassano with an inch perfect cross but the former Sampdoria star made mess of a lovely move and sailed his shot into the stands.
Milan doubled their lead just before the hour mark as Robinho scored on his return from injury. Ibrahimovic was once again the chief architect behind the move as he unlocked the opposition defence with a lovely through pass for the former Manchester City
striker, who calmly slotted his shot past Tzorvas to make it 2-0 for Milan.
Massimiliano Allegri’s men continued to pile up the pressure on the hosts and dominated the proceedings. Minutes after Robinho’s strike, Cassano scored his team’s third goal to put them in a healthy position. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ignazio-Abate-c16673 bustled his way into the opposition
box and went past two men before playing into the centre for Cassano, who finished with a lovely strike from close range to make it 3-0.
Both teams decided to make a substitution in the 66th minute; as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Abel-Hernández-c3432, who had a very disappointing night. On the other hand, Urby Emanuelson came on for the goal-scorer, Robinho.
Substitute, Pinilla almost immediately made an impact as he let fly a powerful strike from 25-yards but it sailed over the bar.
Palermo made their final substitution of the night as Afriyie Acquah came on to replace Nicolas Bertolo in the 74th minute. Minutes later, Milan also used their final sub; as Stephan El-Shaarawy replaced Cassano in the attack.
Aquilani made a lovely run from the centre of the park and whisked past two Palermo players to force Tzorvas into making a punching save. Milan continued to bombard the visiting defence with some lovely attacking football but the goalkeeper made some stunning
saves to prevent further shame for his team.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christian-Abbiati-c9046, on a single occasion throughout the match. The Aquile slumped to their 2nd defeat of the season and moved from 3rd to 5th in
the table.
