Juventus take revenge on Milan in another shootout

Juventus defender Ciro Ferrara beat Milan keeper Christian Abbiati from the spot to complete the win after man-of-the-match Gianluigi Buffon had parried Milan midfielder Cristian Brocchi's penalty.

However, it was the silver-goal extra time which provided most drama for the 54,128-strong crowd at Giants stadium as Marcello Lippi's side earned a modicum of revenge for their defeat, also in a penalty shootout, to Milan in the European Champions League final in May.

The Rossoneri thought they had won it when, following a foul by Alessio Tacchinardi on Massimo Ambrosini, midfielder Andrea Pirlo converted a cheeky penalty past Buffon in the 15th minute of the first extra time period.

But wild celebrations were cut short just seconds later when, straight from the restart, David Trezeguet turned home a rebound from close range to force a second period of extra time.

The 90 minutes had started brightly, with France striker Trezeguet twice forcing smart saves from Abbiati with first half headers.

Striker Filippo Inzaghi wasted Milan's best chance of the first half, heading over from Andrij Shevchenko's cross, while Buffon turned away a low drive from Brocchi late on.
