Four-Star Juventus Dominate Ten-Man AC Milan

Second half

Ten minutes into the second half it was Milan’s turn to score. Ambrosini took down the ball and unleashed a shot that deflected of Chiellini before it went into the net behind Alexander Manninger who dove to the wrong side.

Confidence went high after the goal and Milan immediately pressed for an equalizer. Ten minutes later the Milan hit a major blow as Zambrotta received marching orders after his second yellow card and left the visiting side reduced to ten men.

In the 69th minute came Amauri’s second goal for the evening as the striker restored the Bianconeri’s two-goal lead. Sissoko put a through ball to Amauri which the Brazilian headed down and shot in behind Abbiati.

The following minute Del Piero had a fine opportunity to put Juventus up by another goal but Il Capitano’s shot deflected of the far post.

Juventus largely dominated the game and frustration grabbed the upper-hand as the remaining twenty minutes were littered with cards and substitution that disturbed the flow of an otherwise enthralling affair.
