AC Milan wins their 18th Scudetto after 7 years: http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 vs. AC Milan – Italian Serie A Review (Part 3)
The away crowd shouted for a penalty but it was not given. The replays clearly showed that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Doni-c11553 got to the ball first and Ibrahimovic did not really deserve a penalty kick.
However, it simply showed the Milan was not only trying to defend, they were trying their luck on goal whenever they got the opportunity as well.
Later, Kevin Prince Boateng almost gave Milan a goal’s lead.
The substitute, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Massimo-Ambrosini-c24579, was quite constructive throughout the second half. Ambrosini chipped the ball towards Boateng who brought it down perfectly and took his shot on goal. The shot could not find the back of the net as it drifted just inches
wide off the target.
The Ghanaian midfielder was having a great game and he looked excited about his first trophy ever.
The second half was somewhat a Milan show. The Rossoneri kept on pressurising their opponents and tried to take the lead in order to kill the game off.
Despite the fact that they came close many times, they simply failed to convert their chances in the final third and could not find the back of the net.
With Milan pressurising the Roman defensive walls, they were often seen going down in dangerous positions. Kevin Prince Boateng was taken down right outside the box and it was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029 who decided to step up and take the free kick.
The Swedish striker powerfully struck the free kick towards the top corner of the goal. However, the Roman goalkeeper was on his toes and denied the Swedish striker the goal he was craving for throughout the game.
The deflected shot fell perfectly for the Dutch midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Clarence-Seedorf-c9275, who wanted to volley it home. However, the Brazilian centre back, Juan, pounced onto him and Milan was robbed from another great goal scoring opportunity.
As the game came close to its end, Milan seemed to be taking good control of it. Roma didn’t really have the same spirit that they had throughout the first half.
Milan was dominant in terms of possession in the first half but they had great opportunities to find the back of the net during the second half.
Milan looked to be the favourites to find the back of the net as the game was about to end.
However, the Rossoneri tried to take control of the possession and defended well in order to gain the one point that would win them the Scudetto.
Roma looked to be tired after chasing the ball almost throughout the game. Their tired legs didn’t really help them take the advantage in the game.
AC Milan came closest to finding the back of the net in the second half while Roma were a bit direct in the first half and did not really have the spark to score in the second.
After a draw, AC Milan is now the Italian Champion. However, the game between Lazio and Udinese is going to decide which of the three sides, Roma, Udinese, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775, will qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season.
