Soccer / Uefa Champions LeagueInter dominated the early exchanges at the San Siro, Cruz saw his shot well saved by Reina after eight minutes and Zlatan showed some lovely skill minutes later. The game exploded into life before the half-hour mark with chances at either end for Torres (well saved by Cesar) and Cruz (should have scored). Just before the break Reina saved from a Cruz backheel. Five minutes into the second period Nicolas Burdisso was sent-off after a foul on Lucas which warranted his second yellow card of the game. Minutes later Zlatan Ibrahimovic missed a great opportunity when he should have squared for Cruz. Just after the hour mark, Aurelio fed Fernando Torres who swivelled and finished superbly to all but end the tie. A late miss from Ibrahimovic summed up a poor night for the Serie A leaders and their much lauded Swedish striker.
