It's over. Ajax played well, was unlucky and had its opponent by the throat in the final ten minutes. But the game between AC Milan and Ajax went on a handful of seconds too long, for the young, brave Amsterdammers. Less than a minute before the 5,000 travelling Ajax fans could start celebrating, the dream was shot to pieces: 3-2, deep into stoppage time.
A desperate high ball from the AC Milan midfield was flicked on. In spite of the presence of a batallion of Ajax defenders (Pasanen, Chivu, Bergdřlmo, O'Brien) the always dangerous Filippo Inzaghi was completely unmarked, lifting the ball over the onrushing Bogdan Lobont towards substitute Jon-Dahl Tomasson. The rest is history...

While I'd attribute that goal 100% to Pippo Inzaghi, Tomasson did score a few memorable goals against top teams:
Milan-Juve Serie A 2003 (JDT 1-0 .... F.R. 1-1)
Inter-Milan Serie A 2004 (2-1 .... F.R. 2-3)
Boca-Milan Intercontinental Cup 2003 (0-1 F.R. 3-1 on pens.)
Milan-PSV CL 2005 (2-0 F.R. 2-0)
