Match

Sevilla nearly scored early when Renato shot wide after Massimo Oddo's error. Milan then hit the post through a deflection. Renato headed Sevilla ahead from a corner in the 14th minute, and players pointed skyward in celebration. Sevilla almost doubled the lead when Frédéric Kanouté rounded the goalkeeper but his pass behind Renato led to a blocked shot. After halftime, Filippo Inzaghi equalized with a free header from Gennaro Gattuso's cross. Marek Jankulovski then scored with a left-footed volley. Kaká added a third by heading in the rebound after his penalty was saved.
