Coppa Italia Round of Last 16 ~ {Recap of all matches} - Page 4

Freddy Adu · 12-20-2007, 06:28 PM

Udinese, keen to make the most of home advantage, worried the Rosanero in minute 62 through Viktor Boudianski. The former Juventus player went for goal with his right foot yet without fortune as it just missed the target.

Freddy Adu · 12-20-2007, 06:28 PM

The deadlock should really have been broken soon after. A ball from the right found Palermos Mark Bresciano in a great position, but the Australian international incredibly failed to find the back of the net from a favourable position.

Freddy Adu · 12-20-2007, 06:29 PM

With half an hour left, both Coaches threw on more recognised strikers in the form of Amauri for Palermo and Antonio Floro Flores for the Bianconeri, but with no success. The second leg will be played at the Barbera on January 16.

Coppa: Milan suffer Sicilian shock
Thursday 20 December, 2007

Freddy Adu · 12-20-2007, 06:30 PM

Catania beat a weakened Milan side 2-1 at San Siro in tonight's Coppa Italia last 16 first leg clash.

Freddy Adu · 12-20-2007, 06:30 PM

Carlo Ancelotti fielded a completely different side from the Rossoneri 11 that captured the Club World Cup last Sunday.

Freddy Adu · 12-20-2007, 06:30 PM

There was a chance for wantaway French midfielder Yoann Gourcuff and young strikers Wily Aubameyang and Alberto Paloschi.

Freddy Adu · 12-20-2007, 06:30 PM

Aubameyang started brightly and served Gourcuff to force a corner after seven minutes.

Freddy Adu · 12-20-2007, 06:30 PM

Emerson had an impressive first period, but his excellent through balls were wasted by Gourcuff and Paloschi.

Freddy Adu · 12-20-2007, 06:30 PM

Against the run of play, Catania took the lead through Gionatha Spinesi who took advantage of some poor defending to get hold of Giuseppe Mascara's long ball and slide past Zeljko Kalac.

Freddy Adu · 12-20-2007, 06:30 PM

Kaka's brother Digao was left red-faced just minutes later as his sloppy ball from inside his own box found Mascara to convert with ease for 2-0.

Freddy Adu · 12-20-2007, 06:30 PM

The Rossoneri nearly pulled one back on the stroke of half-time as the ball bobbled around the Catania box, but they trooped off dejectedly at the break.

Freddy Adu · 12-20-2007, 06:30 PM

Things nearly got worse in the 47th minute as Mascara's 25-yarder clipped the woodwork.

Freddy Adu · 12-20-2007, 06:30 PM

Milan responded with Serginho finding compatriot Emerson in the area, but the ex-Juventus man delayed too long and Argentine 'keeper Albano Bizarri dived on the ball.

Freddy Adu · 12-20-2007, 06:30 PM

Kalac made a superb save to stop Mariano Izco making it 3-0 on the break before Milan hit back.

Freddy Adu · 12-20-2007, 06:30 PM

Dario Simic's long ball found Paloschi who beat Gennaro Sardo and hit the net.

Freddy Adu · 12-20-2007, 06:30 PM

Digao nearly made ammends for his defensive blunder when his header was tipped away for a corner by Bizarri.

Freddy Adu · 12-20-2007, 06:30 PM

Sardo saw red for a brutal challenge on Sergino with 15 minutes left, but Milan couldn't take advantage of the extra man.

Freddy Adu · 12-20-2007, 06:30 PM

Ancelotti's side now have a tough task in Sicily, while Catania will return home jubilant after the Elefanti's first ever win over the Diavolo.
