AC Milan secured a hard-fought victory, ending their goal drought with a 2-0 win against Celtic Glasgow. The decisive moment came in the 82nd minute when Izaguirre found the back of the net, breaking the deadlock. Ghanaian midfielder Sulley Muntari added a second goal in the 86th minute, sealing the victory for Milan.
Despite the final success, Milan faced challenges, especially with injuries to key players like Montolivo and Kaka. The Celtic Glasgow team, far from being passive, proved to be formidable opponents. Milan struggled in the early stages, missing several chances, including those from Balotelli. However, the Scots gained momentum and dominance. Lustig, Mulgrew, and Scott Brown had opportunities to score, but Milan’s defense held firm.
In the 79th minute, Celtic missed a significant chance when a free-kick hit the crossbar. This wake-up call spurred Massimiliano Allegri’s team into action, resulting in the quick succession of two goals. The win earned AC Milan three crucial points, placing them second in the group standings behind FC Barcelona, who secured a 4-0 victory against Ajax Amsterdam.
