Milan start strongly in Serie A
August/September
Cafu's first game in charge of AC Milan was possibly one of the hardest, Fiorentina away. Fiorentina took the lead through Alberto Gilardino after he curled a shot in from the edge of the area. After half time it took Fiorentina three minutes to double there lead after Adrian Mutu took the ball past Vincent Enyeama in goal and rolled it over the empty Milan goal. But just two minutes later Milan started there comeback after Ronaldinho cleverly chipped the ball over to Neymar who scored on his debut. But Milan left it late to grab an equiliser, the 90th minute to be exact, as Neymar took it round three or four helpless defenders before cleverly finding the back of the net with a cheeky chip.
Milans second game in August was at home against Bari who have recently been taken over by a new consortium, It took Milan just 16 minutes to score, this time it was Pirlo from the spot after Pato got dragged down. Milan killed the game off after 73 minutes when Nesta netted from a Aquino corner. Bari gave Milan a scare late on as Barreto netted but it was ruled offside. 2-0 Milan was the final score.
Milan's first game in the month of September was away at Genoa and it didn't take long to take the lead, after 3 minutes young Brazilian Neymar scored his third in as many games after he scored from the edge of the area. Neymar netted again in the 7th minute to make Milan feel more confident, The game slowed down soon after that goal until the 70th minute when Marci Rossi did a stupid tackle on Daniel Aquino what saw Aquino get stretchered off and saw Rossi get a straight red card.
Cafu's good start with Milan continued as they overcame Valencia two goals to one in the Champions League, Neymar gave Milan the lead after 18th minutes with a cool finish. Sweden striker Zlatan Imbrahimovic doubled Milan's advantage with a superb free kick from 25-30 yards out.Center Back Ricardi Costa scored a 90th minute consolation goal but it wasn't enough for Los Ches.
Neymar has bagged 5 goals so far for Milan
Milan's decent league form continued as they rose to see off Lazio at the San Siro , Milan took the lead when experienced defender Alessandro Nesta scored a diving header from six-yards out in the 16th minute. Hernanes equalised for Lazio in the 30th minute with a powerful effort from 25 yards out. Milan regained the lead in the 43 minute mark through Javi Martinez. Lazio striker had a chance from the spot to make it 2-2 but he missed the penalty as he put it well wide of the goal. 2-1 Milan was the final score.
63000 fans packed into the San Siro to watch Milan yet again score two as this time they over came Cesena. Pato gave AC Milan the lead on three minutes with a magnificent diving header after Ronaldinho crossed the ball, Yuto Nagatomo gifted Milan the three points today after he dragged down Pato in the area, and up stepped some one no one would have thought would take the spot kick, that player was Nesta and it was a pretty good penalty aswell as he sent the keeper the wrong way and put Milan two up, and the game didn't get any better and the score stayed at 2-0 Milan.
Now AC Milan had here biggest challenge yet. Away at Juventus and it was a really boring match and the only goal came in the 53rd minute after Zlatan Imbrahimovic scored a superb goal that must surely win goal of the month.
AC Milan had to beat Lyon in there second Champions League game of the season and with a attendance of 74000 will they crumble under the pressure ? On the 8 minute mark AC Milan took the lead through Zlatan Imbrahimovic after he played a neat one-two with Robinho and he smashed it into the back of the net. Pato doubled Milan's lead after 18 minutes as he rounded Hugo Lloris to score his second goal of the year. Jimmy Briand scored in the 76th minute after Nesta gave a way a free kick that he took and made sure it flew into the top right of the goal.
