David Beckham celebrates his first goal for AC Milan in a 4-1 over Bologna.
BOLOGNA

Antonioli- 5.0:
The veteran gave up a poor rebound, allowing Seedorf  to equalize.

Zenoni- 5.5:
Tried to push forward, but was unable to have much of an impact.

Terzi- 6.0:
Made a couple of key interceptions, but overall was powerless to stop the Milan attack today.

Moras- 5.5:
Did the same as his central defensive counterpart, but also struggled to deal with the pace of Pato.

Bombardini- 4.5:
His name hardly needed mentioning during the match.

Mudingayi- 4.0:
His only contribution was two yellow cards and he was sent off after 40 minutes.

Amoroso- 6.5:
He earned the first penalty with a great run through Milan's defense and contributed in both attack and defense, but his impact diminished when his side went down to ten men.

Volpi- 6.0:
Some good passing to create opportunities for Di Vaio. However, he had trouble keeping up with Milan's midfield play.

Adailton- 5.5:
A few good runs on the wing, but nothing more.

Valiani- 6.0:
Had some incisive play in the first half, but Bologna needed more from him.

Di Vaio- 7.5:
He was in great form today, scoring a penalty and could have had a few more goals if not for Abbiati. He never gave up.

MILAN

Abbiati- 7.0:
Some good early saves and a fantastic save on Di Vaio in the second half as well even when the game was finished as a contest.

Zambrotta- 7.5:
Linked up well with Beckham and earned a penalty. One of his best performances of the season.

Senderos- 6.0:
It was not a terrible performance as he put in some tough tackles. However, he needs to be more attentive and struggled to deal with Di Vaio all evening.

Maldini- 6.5:
A competent showing from the veteran, whose passing was also spot-on today.

Favalli- 6.5:
Like Maldini, he showed all of his experience. 

Beckham- 7.5:
He blasted in his first Serie A goal and was involved in many Milan moves. After Bologna were down to ten men he showed his skill-set with some fine passing and movement.

Pirlo- 6.5:
A good performance, not a great one. His creativity and composure is always an asset.

Seedorf- 7.0:
Sometimes lost the ball in good positions, but scored the equalizer and assisted Beckham's goal.

Ambrosini- 6.5:
Full of running and always available for his teammates, even if he does try too much with the ball at his feet sometimes.

Kaka- 8.5:
Two goals, including a fantastic strike from just outside the area, and a performance that showed why Manchester City were willing to pay so much for his signature.

Pato- 7.5
: His speed on the counter attack was key for the Rossoneri and responsible for Bologna going down to ten-men. Combined very well with Kaka for Milan's third goal.

Substitutes


Antonini- 6.0, Ronaldinho- 6.0, Inzaghi- 6.0
