What a disappointing Derby della Madonnina!!!!! It was supposed to be a super mega Milan Derby because Inter and AC Milan not only battling for the bragging rights to rule the city of Milan, but also to get closer to Europa League next season. It’s almost a mirage, but mathematically speaking, Europa is still possible… though with this draw it’s more a “Good Bye Europa” than a reality. Overall, Inter had the best part, but goals did not make it. Tough lesson for these 2 Milanese teams…. total flop!
Well, this is it Referee Luca Banti whistles the start of the match…… let’s roll the ball!!!!!!! UEPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Captain for Inter in this Milan Derby is defender Andrea Ranocchia. Captain for AC Milan is defender Ignazio Abate.
Shaking hands before the match, Inter Captain Andrea Ranocchia and AC Milan Captain Ignazio Abate
Inter sending the first signal to Milan. In the 11th minute a miraculous save by Milan goalkeeper denying midfielder Hernanes to score by saving his left footed shot in the top right corner. It’s corner for Inter….
Oh my gosh.. up to the 12th minute it is Inter to dominate the Milan Derby. Wondering whether AC Milan will react?
Goals not arriving. First yellow card of the match is for Inter midfielder Gary Medel after a foul on AC Milan defender Ignazio Abate in the 28th minute.
Milan getting their first yellow card in the 33rd minute after midfielder Nigel De Jong commits a foul on Inter midfielder Mateo Kovacic.
Who will score first? We are not seeing goals, but more yellow cards. In the 36th minute it is Inter defender Juan Jesus to get a card….
This Milan Derby up to the 43rd minute not showing a top match.. it’s win win for any……
In the 49th minute … Jérémy Menez is caught offside. A minute later, 50th minute Inter midfielder Hernanes tries a through ball, but forward Mauro Icardi is caught offside. And when are the goals arriving???
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz… we want goals!!!!
In the 58th minute, Milan seeing their chances to score blocked! Forward Jérémy Menez attempts a right footed shot in vain from outside the box only to be blocked.
In the 67th minute Inter replacing midfielder Assane Demoya Gnoukouri with midfielder Joel Obi.
In the 72nd minute, Referee Banti disallowed the own goal by Milan defender Philippe Mexes… Banti ruling out the goal after few minutes after considering the foul before the goal by Palacio on Antonelli… Mamma mia, what a decision! Inter fans were already celebrating the goal and then PUFF…..
Oops, problems for Milan and it is a forced substitution for injury.. In the 73rd minute defender Gabriel Paletta replacing defender Alex .. cannot continue.. clearly. . injured.
AC Milan adding fresh energy to the attack by replacing forward Suso in the 73rd minute to bring forward Mattia Destro.
In the 77th minute Inter making a substitution. Midfielder Mateo Kovacic is replaced by forward Xherdan Shaqiri.
Inter continuing with the pressing… In the 79th minute there it is the assist by Hernanes to defender Juan Jesus delivering a left footed shot and goalkeeper Diego Lopez saves in the bottom right corner.
Well, desperate final minutes and Milan making the last substitution in the 81st minute with forward Alessio Cerci replacing midfielder Andrea Pioli.
