AC Milan against Lyon

Four minutes of extra time to be played.

Juninho hits a long free-kick in to the Milan box but it is straight at Dida.

Milan have scored. Inzaghi has saved the day for them. A long ball from the back is met by Shevchenko whose shot is well saved by Dida. It comes back off the post and Inzaghi, showing great predatory instincts, gleefully knocks the ball in to the net from four yards out. Surely Lyon are out now?

GOAL

Malouda works tirelessly on the flank but there are no Lyon players waiting for it. Lyon are getting men back and want to hold on to their advantage rather than go for the killer goal.

Carew is blown up for having his feet high. If it wasn't for that he would have had a clear run on goal.

Maldini battles down the left flank and wins a throw. Kris clears with his head and Lyon get the ball up in to Milan's half.

Govou is coming off for Lyon and Reveillere is replacing him.

Maldini's ball in to the penalty area is booted away by Lyon. When it comes in again from the right Coupet once more takes the ball, in a somewhat theatrical manner.

Malouda goes on a marauding run but is stopped by a fine tackle in the area from Costacurta. Corner to Lyon. The ball flies over the other end of the pitch where Lyon now have a throw-in. Carew looks to make a nuisance of himself in the Milan defence but Dida's defenders shepherd it back to him.

Maldini plays it to Serginho who is looking very dangerous. His ball up to Inzaghi fools the Lyon defence but the striker is pulled up for offside.

Gattuso is off for Milan and Maldini is on.

Coupet comes out of his goal and claims a Milan free-kick well.

Serginho cuts inside and beats two Lyon defenders with a mazy run. Lyon clear for a corner. When it comes in, Inzaghi has a header cleared off the goal-line by Wiltord. A fantastic piece of defending by the ex-Arsenal man.

Carew has become the focal point for Lyon's attacks now and the Milan defenders will not fancy pitting themselves against the Norwegian collossus.

Diarra is needlessly fouled by Inzaghi on the edge of the Lyon penalty area. Diarra won't mind that.

And for Milan, Pirlo is coming off to be replaced by Massimo Ambrosini.

Fred is being replaced by John Carew.

Juninho wins the ball well in midfield but, just as he is sizing up a shot, it gets stuck under his feet.

Malouda and Goubet combine well but Goubet can't get his cross over towards Fred. Lyon have a corner. When it comes in Serginho looks very unsteady but Fred's final shot goes behind for a goal-kick.

Nice play from Milan in the middle of the park but when Serginho hits a very high ball in from the left Coupet does well to come and take the ball.

Milan keep pressing forward and Seedorf dinks it in to Kaka who is held off by the impressive Cris. Milan are eventually blown up for offside.

At the other end Costacurta takes a throw-in for Milan. When he receives it, Gattuso fails to keep control of the ball and Lyon have the goal-kick

From a Lyon corner Cacapa has a free header about fifteen yards out. It goes harmlessly out of play but where was the Milan marking?

Wiltord wins the ball well in midfield and now Clerc joins the play out on the right. When the ball eventually gets in to Milan's area, Fred cannot summon enough composure to get a shot in.

Throw-in to Milan deep in Lyon's half. Gattuso plays a good ball in to the area and a fine defensive header from Cris stops the ball reaching Inzaghi. The ball comes in again and Seedorf's shot is hit wide of Coupet's goal.

Govou hurdles a couple of challenges before playing a useful looking ball in to the Milan penalty area. Milan have enough players back to crowd Lyon out and clear the danger.

Serginho and Inzaghi show great understanding down the left before Cacapa closes in on Serginho and makes a good challenge. He is injured though and has gone off the pitch for treatment. From the corner, Coupet claims the ball easily.

Now Milan have a corner after a good tackle by Cris on Kaka. Coupet comes for it and Lyon manage to scramble it away.

Another free-kick for Lyon is hit in to the Milan penalty are by Juninho. The ball eventually reaches Abidal and his shot is saved by Dida and Lyon have a corner. Nothing comes of it though and Milan break out.

Shevchenko hits a cross cum shot thing which ends up being neither and goes harmlessly behind Coupet's goal.

The Brazilian takes the free-kick but a suspiciously close looking wall manage to deflect his effort away.

Juninho shows a lovely change of pace to move away from Pirlo. Pirlo comes back but fouls him and this is well within Juninho's range.

Seedorf and Serginho link well down the left flank before Serginho wastes the opening by hitting a cross high out of play.

Milan, or Pirlo to be precise, carelessly plays the ball out when he was under no pressure. His unforced error is symptomatic of the nervousness which is affecting Milan's performance tonight.

Pirlo takes the free-kick and a headed opportunity is prsented to Nesta again at the back of a group of players. His header is hit over the bar. He should have done better.

Milan kick off and immediately Inzaghi is fouled about thirty yards out from the Lyon goal.

Lyon are forty five minutes away from going where they have never gone before and so far they look the more composed of the two sides. Milan look nervous and unsure at the back and, the longer the scores stay the same, the more likely it is that gaps will appear in the Italian defence. Lyon have a great chance to finish Milan off in the second half.

FULL TIME

A poor defensive header from Kaladze gives Lyon a corner. Malouda plays it short to Wiltord and Milan concede another corner. Milan win it back and a terrific ball from Kaka finds Pirlo before Clerc puts in a great tackle to block his path. Good defending.

Two minutes of added time to be played.

Inzaghi reacts very angrily to a challenge by Kris, who seemed to kick him. The Italian striker is booked but the Lyon defender was lucky to escape a yellow card there himself.

Inzaghi is pulled up for offside after some good play by Shevchenko. A close decision by the linesman.

Diarra gets back to tackle Shevchenko and concede a corner. Seedorf looks in no great hurry to take it and, when he finally does, Nesta wastes a chance by hitting a header high and wide.

Milan's defence is not looking solid at all this evening and Lyon must fancy their chances for another goal which, at this stage, looks like it could spell the end for Milan.

Juninho nearly scores a goal from an attempted cross which sends Dida scurrying back to deal with the danger. He concedes a corner and, with the Milan marking non-existent, Fred nearly atones for his error at the other end when his header clips the Milan woodwork.

Serginho attacks down the left and plays an inviting cross in to the Lyon penalty area which Inzaghi can't quite get his head to.

Kaladze plays it up to Shevchenko who is fouled by Clerc. Milan have a free-kick on the left hand side of the pitch which Seedorf hits far too deep and out of play.

Shevchenko slips slightly in the Lyon penalty area but Cacapa tackles him to concede a corner. Coupet does a bit of double fist action to get the ball away when it comes across his six yard line.

From another long Coupet goal-kick Govou receives the ball and has a go from about twenty five yards out. It's never going to trouble Dida but well worth an effort.

Pirlo tries a long ball over the Lyon defence which Cacapa gets a head to. From the knockdown Seedorf rather snaps at a shot which goes wide.

The Lyon fans are now making all the noise behind Coupet's goal.

Lyon take a free-kick in an almost identical position to the last one from which Juninho tried his luck. The same man sizes it up before hitting a high ball in to the Milan defence. Three Lyon players go for the ball before Diarra reacts well to head it over Dida after some terrible defending from Milan. Lyon are now in the driving seat.

GOAL

Serginho shows some great skill to hold off a couple of Lyon challenges and when the ball goes in to the Lyon penalty area they can only head it out for another corner. Lyon clear the ball when it comes in from the corner.

Seedorf feeds Kaka who snakes through the Lyon defence but just can't find the room to get a shot in. Clerc just did enough to put him off but Milan now look like they have their tails up.

Fred gives the ball away to Schevchenko in the Lyon half and Inzaghi heads a great goal after a fine delivery in to the six yard box from Seedorf. Somewhat against the run of play but that was just what the doctor ordered for Milan. No extra-time or penalties now.

GOAL

Jaap Stam has come off and Alessandro Costacurta(all thirty nine years and eleven months of him)replaces the Dutchman.

AC Milan's fans are already voicing their dis-approval. If Lyon make one of these chances count Milan could be in trouble tonight.

A huge punt up the park from Coupet is not dealt with by Kaladze. Dida comes out to block the ball but it goes to Malouda who hits a lob which goes just over the bar. Lyon are looking the more dangerous of the two teams at the minute.

Nesta hits a harmless back pass to Dida but the ball bobbles and Dida makes a total hash of the clearance. The ball bounces to Wiltord who can't quite control it in time to make Milan pay. Milan eventually compose themselves and get out of danger but they were fortunate there.

Seedorf feeds Serginho down the left and he hits a great ball in to Inzaghi. He has a difficult chance with his back to the goal and the Lyon defence have him well covered as he hits it wide of the mark. A decent half-chance though.

Seedorf tries to thread the ball through to Shevchenko but Lyon take the ball off him and play it away to safety.

Only Kaka in the Milan team is without a Champions League winners medal. Lyon will be aiming to keep it that way.
