Controversial Goal Costs Milan Game

AC Milan was playing against rival, and fellow Serie A giant Internazionale this weekend without their star player Kaka. The Rossoneri did not let the absence of its best player keep them down though. In a game which they controlled possession 65%-35% and took more shots AC Milan still suffered a 2-1 defeat, not without controversy though. Inter striker Adriano started the scoring with a first half header that appeared to go off of his arm. Further review shows the ball clearly being redirected into the goal with his forearm, but the referee allowed the goal. Inter added another goal late in the first half, but Pato found the back of the net in the 70th minute for Milan to make it 2-1. Milan's newest addition David Beckham left the game early with a leg injury. Just a few minutes later Pato was struck down in the box, what looked like a clear penalty and a chance to tie the game. No PK was awarded and the game went on. Pippo Inzaghi did tie the game late in the second half, until the goal was taken away because he was just a step offsides. The loss pretty much eliminates AC Milan from the Scudetto, but they still need to finish strong for Champion's League and UEFA qualification.
