Catania Fall Apart Against AC Milan
By: vincenzo | December 3rd, 2012
Going in to this game with out Alejandro Gómez are star forward and are star defense man Nicolás Spolli there was alot to worry about, As well Gonzalo Bergessio coming back from injury.
Catania took the lead only 11 minutes in to the game from Francesco Lodi corner where he found an open Nicola Legrottaglie who header it home against his former club. After that goal til the end of the first half both teams would make chances but would have no luck in scoring.
4 minutes in to the second half Pablo Barrientos was showed his 2 yellow card of the game and would get a red. That would be the game factor because after that red AC Milan scored 2 minutes after. Stephan El Shaarawy tying the game and 1-1. 3 minutes after goal Kevin-Prince Boateng took a shot from out side the box and curved it in. Great goal by the Milan player and a deflating goal for catania.
Stephan El Shaarawy would score again at the end of the game to put the cherry on top with a nice goal to make it worse and 3-1 win for AC Milan.
Game Notes:
Not finishing are chances!!!
Alexis Rolin who played for Nicolás Spolli had a great first half. Should get more playing time.
Pablo Barrientos is a huge reason to blame for the lost.
Gonzalo Bergessio showed alot of heart and pressure on Milan defense really showing what he means to the team. Could have used him against Palermo.
Amidu Salifu got to start this game which was an bad idea he was bad on covering his man and at times didn’t know what he was doing just running around.
Rolando Maran let me down once Pablo Barrientos got the red he did nothing until 72 minute for his first sub.
I would of done this, once he got the red you know milan will attack so I would of took of Lucas Castro to put on Blazej Augustyn to put another big body in the defense. Then put in Mario Paglialunga for Amidu Salifu (which he did). which would mean Gonzalo Bergessio would be playing the lone forward which I would take of Gonzalo Bergessio to put on the faster Takayuki Morimoto.

It just goes to show that measures such as bnninag away fans are pointless. It seems quite common for the same club’s Barras to fight amongst themselves, particulary River and in Jujuy. Such a laissez-faire policing attitude is beyond belief.The Racing syndrome strikes again, I didn’t see all the game as I couldn’t find a stream that wasn’t carrying Davis Cup, but to concede so late was a return to the bad old days. Was quite thankful of Independiente’s win, in the end. I don’t enjoy the matches against Gimnasia, as they are my second favourite Argentinian club and don’t want to see them relegated, but I still wanted Racing to win : (It didn’t look too friendly during a bit of aggro surrounding the stretcher trolley, anyone else see that? Banfield-Huracan was terrible, but Godoy Cruz’s keeper made some fantastic saves in their match, which made it worth watching. But what can I say about Lanus? The passing move leading to Salvio’s goal made it the goal of the week so far, even better than Maxi’s! When they play like that, it’s a joy to watch, and part of me really wants them to win the title again. But it would be harsh on Tigre, so good luck to them tonight, also good luck to Boca, to help us in the promedios by beating the Tucumanos
