AC Milan 0-0 Inter Milan
Goal-less eh? You'd think from the scoreline that this derby was boring and pretty uneventful.. hell no!
The score could have so very easily been 3-3 at half-time. The action was end to end, the game was open and both sides were very attacking minded. The only thing missing from the first-half was goals! .. be it due to great defending, great goalkeeping, or a slight let down in finishing - even considering that, the skill leading up to the chances was great to watch.
The match did quieten down a little bit as half-time approached though, as a few too many fouls were creeping into the play.
The second-half was almost just as good, but with not as many chances. Both teams looked to be getting a few nerves, so the game was still open. Also, defenders were bringing down attackers more often, which lead to quite a few free-kicks from good positions. One or two of those lead to good goal scoring opportunities. AC Milan had two very good chances in the last quarter of an hour. Shevchenko headed wide from a position where the ball should have been bulging the back of the net. A little while later, another Milan player missed another good headed chance. Both teams didn't settle for the point at all. Late substitutions were attack minded and could have easily resulted in a winner for either side. In the end this didn't deserve to end 0-0, but it did.
