Ronaldinho fires Milan to derby victory
Tuesday, 30 September 2008
ROME, Sept 29 (AFP): Ronaldinho scored his first goal in Italian football to give AC Milan a vital 1-0 victory over Inter Milan in a pulsating city derby at the San Siro Sunday.
Inter Milan had two players sent off-although Marco Materazzi was dismissed after he'd been substituted-as Jose Mourinho tasted defeat as Inter coach for the first time.
It means that despite losing their first two matches, Milan are right back up in the thick of the title race having won their next three in a row.
