In Rossoneri’s side, Pippo Inzaghi was still active with full energy, while Clarence Seedorf still suffered catcall due to his slow pace. However, in the second half, 57th minute, they helped Milan go in front with quick counter attack. Pippo read the game very well, and found Massimo Ambrosini with long pass, although the latter missed, it turned into an assist which let Seedorf beat Buffon and score. Unfortunately , Rossoneri’s happiness didn’t last long, only three minutes later, Juve’s Iaquinta leveled at 1-1.
