Rossoneri rescued by Kaka class

A magnificent strike from Kaka ensured that AC Milan returned to winning ways
against RSC Anderlecht in Group H despite playing with ten men for almost the
entire second half.
Pivotal dismissal
Milan enjoyed the better of the first period and might have put the game
beyond doubt, but when Daniele Bonera picked up his second yellow card two
minutes after the restart, Anderlecht looked primed to claim a major scalp
and their first home victory in the competition in nearly three years. It
was not to be, however, as the Italian giants kept their nerve and secured
the points thanks to Kaka's stunning intervention just before the hour.
Attacking purpose
The home side had begun the match brighter and Mohamed Tchite and Mbark
Boussoufa almost fashioned the opener in the fifth minute. Lucas Biglia's
pass found space behind the Milan defence for Boussoufa to advance and
pass to Tchite in the middle but in his eagerness the Congolese forward
was caught offside. Alessandro Nesta had to be at his sharpest moments
later, heading behind as Nicolas Frutos threatened to convert Bart Goor's
free-kick.
Oliveira twist
Seeking their first win in five games in all competitions, Milan made an
uncertain start but on nine minutes Filippo Inzaghi nodded Marek
Jankulovski's cross into the grateful arms of Daniel Zitka. Rossoneri coach
Carlo Ancelotti had opted for Ricardo Oliveira as Inzaghi's strike partner,
perhaps mindful of the winning goal he scored for Real Betis Balompie on
this ground last season, and the Brazilian was quickly in the action,
forcing Zitka to save low after jinking in from the right.
Rossoneri rise
Milan began to dominate, with Inzaghi, Kaka and Gennaro Gattuso taking turns
to attack on the right. One raid culminated in Kaka crossing for Inzaghi
whose near-post effort flew just wide. Soon the threat was coming from both
flanks as an Oliveira effort just before the half-hour resulted in another
sharp stop from Zitka. Inzaghi had two golden chances to break the deadlock
at the end of the first half but failed to connect with a diving header,
then directed Kakha Kaladze's centre tamely wide.
Bonera walks
The visitors were ruing those misses when Bonera received his second caution
just two minutes after the restart for kicking the ball away. Oliveira was
sacrificed, with Ancelotti sending on Cafu, but the initiative was firmly
with Anderlecht who started to press with more urgency as spaces opened up
for both teams. Milan also showed some menace. Clarence Seedorf fired over
on 51 minutes then almost set up Kaka with a cross from the left.
Kaka strike
Soon after, another counterattack ended with Seedorf squaring for Kaka whose
glorious right-footed shot was deflected slightly away from Zitka and into
the top corner on 58 minutes. The strike took the wind out of Anderlecht's
sails although they rallied towards the close with Dida saving well when
Tchite raced clear and drilled a low attempt goalwards. The Brazilian was
helpless when Roland Juhasz was denied by the woodwork, but Milan held on
to consolidate their position at the top of the section.
