Footballers - UEFA Champions League final. In a rare and particularly dramatic second leg semi-final match, the Italian club lost with a score of 1-3, but thanks to the "golden" goal scored by M. Ambrosini, they made it to the tournament final.
9' [1 - 0] Ji Sung Park
65' [2 - 0] Phillip Cocu
90' [2 - 1] Massimo Ambrosini
90+1' [3 - 1] Phillip Cocu
The match started actively for the Dutch champions, and they immediately sought to score a quick goal. They succeeded - J.S.Park, receiving a pass from J.Vennegooro of Hesselink in the 9th minute, sent the ball into the top corner of Didas' goal from 13 meters with a powerful shot. After conceding a quick goal, the "Milan" footballers were a bit shaken and ultimately gave the initiative to the hosts, who continued to dangerously attack.
The second half started with dangerous attacks from "PSV", and all of "Milan's" attempts to counter-attack ended unsuccessfully. As the second half neared its end, "Milan" created several chances to score a goal, but they failed to capitalize on them. When it seemed that the teams would have to play extra time, fortune smiled on "Milan" - Kaka passed the ball from the edge and in the penalty area, M.Ambrosini, completely unmarked, scored a particularly important goal with his head.
Despite deserving victory in the next attacks, the "PSV" players defeated Dida for the third time - P.Cocu sent the ball into the top corner with a great shot without stopping the ball - there was no longer enough added time for another goal, and the Dutch champions had to withdraw from the tournament due to the goal conceded at their home.
Therefore, in the UEFA Champions League final, which will take place on May 25th in Istanbul, "Milan" will face the club.
