Ten man AC Milan defeated rivals Inter Milan 1-0 winning the Milan Derby Sunday evening. It was a 5th minute penalty kick from Zlatan Ibrahimovic that would end up being the deciding goal. Ibrahimovic was dragged down in the penalty area by Inter's Materazzi.
Both sides fought hard and strong in the midfield all night long as neither side were able to generate any real quality chances or shots on goal. In the 60th minute AC Milan's lead became even more precarious as they had Abate sent off for his second yellow card. They would be forced to play the final 30 minutes with 10 men.
It was basically one way traffic from there as Inter Milan pushed for the tying goal. AC Milan were hanging on for dear life as they defended with numbers in their own penalty area. Even with the man advantage Inter were only able to generate 2 shots on frame the entire evening as AC Milan held on for the 1-0 victory.
The win extends the AC Milan lead at the top of Serie A and leaves Inter Milan chasing as they search for the good form of last year.
