dark Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Just to clarify it all. Portsmouth can agonisingly close to humbling AC Milan in the Uefa Cup, but were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw. Second half goals from Younes Kaboul and Kanu had put the hosts in control, but a late Ronaldinho screamer and a scrappy effort from Filippo Inzaghi spared the Italians' blushes. It was the visitors who created the better of the chances during a lively opening period on the South Coast and they were unfortunate not to gain an early advantage. Italy international Inzaghi has built a career around feeding off scraps and came close to breaking the deadlock when he struck the inside of the post on 11 minutes. The experienced front-man was then only narrowly off target once again just before the half-hour mark when he broke clear to loft the ball over the onrushing David James and onto the top of the crossbar. Pompey were unable to carve open openings of such calibre, although Peter Crouch proved to be a thorn in the Italians' defence with a typically bustling display. The home side did pose more of a threat after the break, and Glen Little saw a controlled volley flash into the side netting shortly after the restart. Then, on 62 minutes, all hell broke loose as Kaboul powered home a header from a pin-point Glen Johnson cross. The Pompey faithful must have thought things could not get any better, but they did 11 minutes later when Kanu was able to bundle home another Johnson delivery from the right. Inzaghi clipped the woodwork again with a header as Pompey became twitchy at the back, before Ronaldinho set up a grandstand finish with a sublime free-kick eight minutes from time. As the game ticked into injury-time, Inzaghi then broke English hearts as he was on hand to toe-poke past a stranded James and rescue point for Carlo Ancelotti's men.
