Lyon VS Milan

Surging run by Kaka from the left but from a tight angle, Ricky fired his shot wide of Coupet's goal

Lyon with a corner ...

Malouda whipped a good cross in from the left but there was no one on the receiving end in the middle :relieved:

Lyon coming back into the game in the last few minutes ... a few breaks for them ...

hey guys, hows the game so far?

Well, Fred is on the bench, he's the guy who can bring some troble, but nesta should handle!

we started off the better team and dictated most of the play for the first 20 mins, since then Lyon have crept back into it and have had a period of pressure. Quite evenly balanced right now. We should have scored when we were on top at the start, we had a couple of chances.

Thanks Jim.

We need a great result today, since Juninho is suspended.

Malouda set up Pedretti from distance but the shot was hit high above the crossbar

bit of a quiet point in the match ... some chances for Lyon to cross the ball but all have been completely harmless.

Nearly half time

Lyon have had a 1 or 2 free-kicks that you know Juninho would have done alot better with ... plus his delivery for corners would be alot better.

Sheva shrugged off Cris and was through on goal but Coupet was there to save again

Shevchenko had another chance ... but hit it right at Coupet

Carew left unmarked in the box and heads straight at Dida

Half-Time. Some good play by Milan, but the Lyon defence and keeper are working hard. Lyon ahve also had their chances, but have just missed that finishing touch.

Half time

lets hope our recent trend of good second halves happens in this game too
