The Rossoneri overtake Juventus at the top as an own goal and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029 strike helped them to an easy win
The Italian Champions cruised to a comfortable 2-0 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Davide-c10638 Ballardini’s men at the Stadio Sant’Elia on Tuesday, December 20th, 2011.
Francesco Pisano scored a third-minute own goal to give Milan the lead, and a second-half strike from Zlatan Ibrahimovic sealed the result in favour of the Champions. The Rossoneri now atop the league standings and will hope that
Juventus drop points in their midweek game.
Massimiliano Allegri made two changes to his starting line-up from the 2-0 win over Siena recently. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Clarence-Seedorf-c9275 respectively.
On the other hand, the Sardinian outfit also made two changes to their starting line-up from the 2-0 defeat at the hands of Chievo over the weekend.
The Rossoblu almost had a perfect start to the match but unfortunately for them http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andrea-Cossu-c5679 fed the Brazilian inside the penalty area and his low shot rattled against the woodwork.
The hosts found the back of the net in the very next minute, but it was on the wrong end of the field. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robinho-c31382 made a lovely run from the right flank before playing a low cross in the centre which was tapped into his own goal by
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Francesco-Pisano-c13931 to give Milan the lead.
The Rossoblu did not lose heart despite an unfortunate start and came close to equalising in the 10th minute. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Albin-Ekdal-c4351 took advantage of a poor clearance from Philippe Mexes and the midfielder blasted a shot from
20-yards which was brilliantly saved by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christian-Abbiati-c9046.
Milan skipper, Ambrosini picked up the first booking of the match for his late challenge on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radja-Nainggolan-c30301 in the 20th minute.
The Isolani continued to dominate the proceedings but their wayward shooting let them down badly. The Milan defence, led by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903, was up for the challenge and negated the danger extremely well.
Cossu picked up a yellow-card just after the half-hour mark after his miss-timed lunge on Ibrahimovic.
The two teams created several decent openings but struggled to find a quality ball in the final third. Just before the half-time whistle, Mexes was once again sloppy with his defending and gave away the ball cheaply to Ribeiro,
but the striker blasted it wide of the goal.
No time was added to the first-half as Milan went into the break with a 1-0 lead.
