Cagey opening 10 mins, with neither team willing to give up too much. Then for the next 15 mins, AC Milan takes over, great touches and team understanding, Kaka at the centre of almost every move. Milan cannot find the killer touch though, and Inter gets into the game, with their own 15-min period of sustained pressure. Ibrahimovic is fouled in the penalty area and gets carded for diving (completely wrong decision), Crespo throw away 2 chances.
Then out of nothing, a moment of brilliance. Ronaldo gets the ball about 30 yards out, cuts in from the right and lets go a left foot bullet into the far left corner. 1-0 AC Milan in the 40th min. Man cud say what they want bout Ronnie, the man is class.
The last 5 mins of the half were pretty uneventful, so HT is 1-0 AC. Game cud easily be 2-2 but for some poor finishing on both sides.
