European Super Cup
AC Milan 3 - Sevilla 1
UEFA Cup champions
Sevilla were unable to retain the title they won last year after losing
3-1 to Champions League winners AC Milan. It was an emotive night for
the Andalusian side, all 22 players coming out with shirts bearing the name of
Antonio Puerta, who tragically died earlier in the week. Sevilla took an early
lead when Renato headed Poulsen's corner past Dida, but the Italians came back
with three goals after the restart, Inzaghi levelling the scores when he headed
Gattuso's cross in on the far post. Jankulovski volleyed home an impressive
second a few minutes later, and Kaká wrapped things up late on when he
headed the ball past Palop after the keeper had pushed his spot kick onto the
post. (31.08.07) |
