Shevchenko's goal

Added comfort

Milan then gained added comfort, Shevchenko rekindling his excellent European form to make it 2-0 from a corner that Stam himself almost got on the end of. That forced Inter further forward as they searched for a vital away goal to take into next week's second leg, but the impressive Stam ensured the Milan defence did not buckle.

Final score: Ac Milan 2 x 0 Inter
