Christian Vieri marked his comeback with a goal in Milan’s 3-1 Coppa Italia victory over Serie B side Brescia.

Vieri made his first appearance in a month and was partnered by Alberto Gilardino for this Coppa Italia encounter with Serie B surprise qualifiers Brescia. Lino Marzoratti was given a rare start alongside Alessandro Costacurta – 20 years his senior.

Gilardino held up the ball for Gennaro Gattuso, who drilled just wide, while a Johann Vogel strike from distance stung Federico Agliardi’s palms. Marek Jankulovski’s splendid solo run brought another tough save out of the goalkeeper, as Milan piled on the pressure early on.

Manuel Rui Costa wasted the clearest opportunity so far on 22 minutes, firing straight at Agliardi from close range. The Portuguese midfielder made up for the error soon after with a fierce drive from the edge of the box that slotted into the top corner.

Omar Milanetto’s free kick was saved, but the first half was one-way traffic and, after another Vogel effort was parried, Gilardino nodded in Rui Costa’s corner kick to double their lead.

However, Brescia found a way back into the tie straight after the restart, as Milanetto’s set-piece reached Stankevicius for a precise header. Once again, the Rossoneri have conceded a goal from a dead ball situation.

Agliardi rushed off his line to close down Vieri before Gilardino redirected a wayward Vogel shot just past the post. Carlo Ancelotti’s men restored their two-goal cushion thanks to a comeback goal from Vieri. Rui Costa was again involved, his through ball freeing the striker to turn and place a right-foot shot into the bottom corner.

Vogel and an Andrea Pirlo free kick skimmed the woodwork, but only a tricky save from Zeljko Kalac on Mannini prevented Brescia grabbing another crucial away goal in the final minute. The second leg will be played at the Stadio Rigamonti on December 8.

Milan 3-1 Brescia
