In Italia Serie A, all eyes were focused on the match between AC Milan and Inter Milan late on Sunday night.Champions Milan came into the match with one game in hand, though one point behind leaders Juventus who was tied with Cagliari in an earlier clash.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic led the Milan front-line as usual with Inter featuring veteran Diego Milito who was struggling most of the season.
It would be Inter striking first 4 minutes into competition. Thiago Motta headed in Maicon's free kick. But the goal was ruled out with the Brazilian getting stuck in the offside trap.
The hosts would have the answer 6 minutes later. Alexandre Pato found space in the area, but the young striker blooned the ball onto the stand.
Around the half-hour mark, Ibrahimovic would threaten, but his trademark back-heel flick turned out wide.
Milan would come closest to scoring just before the break. Mark Van Bommel launched a thunderbolt which bounced back after hitting the crossbar. The two sides remained scoreless in the first half.
However Javier Zanetti led the visitors to rally back 8 minutes after the break. The Inter captain broke clear of the defence to place a long pass right into Diego Milito. The Argentine striker cut into the box, shooting inside the far post. Inter would enjoy a 1-0 lead at San Siro.
Milan would strive for an equalizer the rest of the way. But Inter held on the 1-goal lead to end Milan's unbeaten 12-match league run.
在意大利甲級聯賽,所有的目光都集中在周日晚些時候的米蘭德比上。國際米蘭憑借米利托下半時的進球,在米蘭德比中以1:0戰勝AC米蘭,取得意甲六連勝,同時遏止對手連續12場比賽不敗的勢頭。下半時開戰9分鐘,國米隊長扎內蒂邊路橫傳門前,AC米蘭后衛阿巴特阻截失誤，皮球落到米利托腳下。他順勢沖到門前,冷靜推射打進比賽唯一進球。
