Milan v. Inter: Match Report

A VERY satisfactory result... a win for Milan.


For those of you less in tune with the football world I'll give a brief recap of the actual game play:


Early in the game it seemed as if Inter had the advantage, but by the 20th minute or so, Milan had firm control of the ball and many scoring opportunities. Heading into the second half it was still nill-nill, but finally in the 51st minute Kaka crossed into Pippo who headed it in. Five minutes later, Ambrosini passes it in to Kaka who makes the game 2-0.


20 minutes later, Inter, who had never really given up, scored on an amazing, curving free kick by Cruz. This caused some worries, especially when in the last few seconds of injury time Jankulovski (who has been out with injury lately) fouled an Inter player, but they ruined a chance to tie the game. Thankfully.
Final score: Milan 2-1 Inter


Not many of my requirements regarding the game were met, but since Fiorentina lost, Milan is now in 4th place (a Champions League spot) and I don't care how they got there.


Super Pippo has once again shown that he can do no wrong lately. Alexandre Pato is my favorite player, but if I were Ancelloti I wouldn't play him either. I guess this makes 9 goals in 5 games for Inzaghi.


One last parting word: have you ever noticed how Ancelloti has no emotions or reactions to anything? You'd think he was bored or mildly disgruntled no matter what happens!
