AC Milan faces off against bitter rivals Inter, looking to keep the pressure on leaders Juventus with two games left in the campaign.
Inter had struggled throughout the season and were left out in the race for a European Champions spot. But Diego Milito gave them a 14th minute lead.
But a minute before the break, Julio Cesar appeared to dive at the feet of Kevin-Prince Boateng. AC Milan was awarded a hugely controversial penalty. Cesar tried to distract Zlatan Ibrahimvic with some playground antics, pulling a tongue at the penalty taker. But it was to no avail as the Swede fired home the equaliser. It was 1-all at the break. Ibrahimovic pushed Milan ahead at the start of the second half with his 28th league goal. It was 2-1.
However, Inter were also awarded a penalty in the 52nd. Milito levels the scores from the spot for his 22nd goal of the campaign. It was 2-all. Inter Milan were on fire. After Milito made it 3-1 for the third penalty of the night, Maicon capped the run with a thunderbolt. Inter held off AC Milan 4-2 and completed a double over their city rivals. Milan’s hopes of defending their title were dashed with Juventus claiming their first title after returning to the top flight division.
