Milan strike late, Sevilla suffer UEFA Cup loss

LONDON: Brazilian Ronaldinho struck deep into injury time to give favorites AC Milan a 1-0 UEFA Cup group stage win at home to Braga on Thursday while twice winners Sevilla suffered a 1-0 defeat at Standard Liege.

Ronaldinho came off the bench just after the hour mark to help the Serie A leaders finally break the resistance of their Portuguese opponents with a sweetly struck shot from Gennaro Gattuso's pass.

On a good night for the Italian league's top two, Udinese won 2-1 at Spartak Moscow and in a clash of former winners, CSKA Moscow deepened Feyenoord's woes with a 3-1 win in Holland.
