Milan 2 - 0 Benfica Half-Time
Pirlo 9 (M), Inzaghi 24 (M)
Stadio Meazza
An Andrea Pirlo free kick and stunning team move finalised by Pippo Inzaghi have put Milan 2-0 up over Benfica at half-time.
Manuel Rui Costa returned to San Siro to face his former club as captain of Benfica and was given a warm welcome by the fans, players and Coach Carlo Ancelotti. Rui Costa helped the Rossoneri to win the trophy in 2003 and they started this new campaign as holders. Ronaldo was out injured, but Pippo Inzaghi was picked as lone forward.
In the opening minutes Kaka had a shot charged down on the edge of the area, then Inzaghi just failed to redirect a wayward Massimo Ambrosini volley from Massimo Oddo's cross.
The pressure paid off on nine minutes, as Andrea Pirlo curled one of his trademark free kicks from 25 metres into the near top corner. The goalkeeper managed to get a hand to it, but the ball was too perfectly placed for him to keep it out.
An acrobatic Kakha Kaladze clearance closed down Cardozo's counter, but Milan should have had a second when Oddo cut back past his defender, Inzaghi hooked the ball down and fired wide with only the goalkeeper to beat.
Moments later Quim flew to palm a spectacular Ambrosini volley off target from another Pirlo free kick. A splendid team move saw a Kaka dummy free Inzaghi for the strike that Quim parried with great difficulty.
Benfica fought back as Rui Costa unleashed a rocket that stung Nelson Dida's palms. The move continued and Dida did not reach the deflected cross, so Cardozo headed against the upright from a yard!
However, as Benfica tried to push forward, Milan struck with a magnificent counter-attacking move. Kaka ran the entire length of the pitch to cross for the unmarked Pirlo, but instead of shooting he chipped the ball over to Inzaghi for a volley into the ground.
Seedorf's first touch let him down, then at the other end Rui Costa set up Cardozo for Dida's firm save. Another sweeping team move saw the ball sent to Kaka from seven yards, but he hesitated and the defender closed him down.
An Inzaghi glancing header from Ambrosini's cross swooped over the bar.
Milan: Dida; Oddo, Nesta, Kaladze, Jankulovski; Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini; Kakà, Seedorf; Inzaghi
Benfica: Quim; Luis Filipe, Edcarlos, Katsouranis, Leo; Rui Costa, Maxim Pereira, Cristian Rodriguez, Di Maria; Miguel Vitor, Cardozo
Olympiakos 0 - 0 Lazio Half-Time
Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium
Lazio have had some good chances, but it's 0-0 away to Olympiakos at the break.
The Biancocelesti opened their Champions League campaign in the silence of Athens, as the game was played behind closed doors due to crowd trouble in last season's match with Shakhtar Donetsk. Lazio were dealing with an injury crisis, but welcomed Stefano Mauri back and gave a rare start to Under-21 international Lorenzo Di Silvestri.
The home side had the first chance after six minutes when Djordjevic met a Torossidis cross from the right, but turned it over the bar. Lazio were not shy at the start and Nikopolidis had to tip a Cristian Ledesma free kick out for a corner.
Goran Pandev wasted a promising move and Lomana LuaLua's swerving effort was comfortably gathered by Ballotta.
Macedonian Pandev made another costly error by hesitating on the counter-attack, then his weak finish failed to trouble Nikopolidis. He set up Mauri in the area, but the former Udinese Trequartista was closed down as he pulled the trigger.
On 36 minutes Ballotta showed age has not withered his instincts, as he performed a crucial reaction save on Galletti's right-foot screamer.
Olympiakos: Nikopolidis; Patsatzoglou, Antzas, Zewlakow, Domi; Torossidis, Ledesma, Stoltidis; Galletti, P Djordjevic; LuaLua
Lazio: Ballotta; De Silvestri, Stendardo, Cribari, Zauri; Mudingayi, Ledesma, Manfredini; Mauri; Pandev, Rocchi
