TORINO  

Sereni: 6.0- He was beaten by two world class finishes in the first half and was rarely called into action in the second.  

Pratali: 6.0- Lucky he did not concede a penalty in the 54th minute when he blocked Ronaldinho’s shot with his arm.  

Natali: 6.0- Had no answer for the Brazilian attacking triumvirate in the first 45 minutes but rebounded to have a decent second half. 

Rubin: 7.0- Pushed forward on many occasions and was a real threat on the left flank. Tackled well and was never caught out in position.  

Diana: 5.5- Could not latch onto Stellone’s header in the 71st minute when he was all alone in the six yard box.  

Barone: 6.0- Gave up the free kick that led to Ronaldinho’s goal and was substituted off in the second half.  

Dzemaili: 7.5- The Swiss international was the architect of the Toro attack and had three different chances to find the back of the net.

Rosina: 8.0- He as a real live wire this evening and was the most dangerous player on the field setting up Stellone’s goal and sending Abbiati the wrong way from the penalty spot.  

Colombo: 5.0- His mix up with Stellone in the second half cost Toro a golden opportunity to bring the match on level terms  

Stellone: 7.5- Opened the scoring with a well placed header that beat Abbiati and was a real threat all night long.  

Bianchi: 5.0- He has been a major disappointment this season and was the worst player on the field tonight.  

SUBS: Zanetti (71”) 6.0, Abbruscato (71”) 6.0, Ogbonna (83”) NA

AC MILAN  

Abbiati: 6.0- Made a good double save on Bianchi and Stellone in the 54th minute and did all that was asked of him tonight.  

Jankulovski 6.0-A subdued effort from the Czech defender who did not muster up one of his best performances tonight.  

Maldini: 6.0- The old Italian warhorse was caught out of position on more than one occasion and had trouble containing Rosina and Stellone.  

Kaladze: 4.0-  The defender who looks like a character straight out of a Doestoevsky novel was the goat of the evening as he was beaten to the ball by Stellone who opened the scoring and then handled the ball inside of his own penalty area which set up Rosina’s equaliser.  

Bonera: 6.0- Was embarrassed by Rosina on a number of occasions and is the weak link in the Milan defence.  

Gattuso: 7.5- The Calabrese pitbull showed off his offensive attributes with a great through ball that led to Pato’s goal in the 29th minute.  

Pirlo: 6.0- Looked a bit rusty after a long injury layoff but by no means looked out of place tonight.  

Seedorf: 7.0- The smooth passing Dutchman directed traffic for the first 60 minutes but lost effectiveness as the match wore on.

Kaka: 6.0-
Gave the Toro defence some fits in the first half but faded away and had an extremely quiet second half. Should be ashamed of himself for his swan dive in the penalty area that earned him a yellow card in extra time.  

Ronaldinho: 7.5- The signing of the summer so far gave the Rossoneri the lead in the 34th minute with a world class free kick.  

Pato: 8.0-
Blasted a wicked shot past Sereni in the 29th minute just four minutes after Stellone had opened the scoring and was a nuisance all evening long.  

SUBS: Emerson (73”) 6.0, Shevchenko (79”) 6.0
