RE: Milan loses chance to close on the leaders while Sevilla progress to the Championship League Group Stage

Milan lost a golden chance to close up on Serie A pace makers Juventus and Roma yesterday after a 1-1 draw against Fiorentina in the San Siro. After taking an early lead through Kaka in the 27th min, Milan found itself outplayed in the second half and Adrian Mutu headed in a 56th min equalizer for Fiorentina. Zdravko Kuzamnovic also claimed all three points for the visitor after his shot hit against the post at the end.

After the match, Carlo Ancelotti, Milan's coach, was disappointed, but not angry with his team's display.
