Milan achieved a difficult victory over Tottenham Hotspur, 1-0, in the match that brought them together today, Tuesday, at the San Siro stadium, in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.
Brahim Diaz scored the only goal of the match in the 7th minute.
The second leg is scheduled to take place on March 8, at Tottenham Stadium, to determine the qualifier for the quarter-finals of the competition.
The match started quickly, as Milan managed to score the first goal in the 7th minute of the match, after a ball penetrated by Theo from the left side, hit ball that was saved by goalkeeper Forster, to bounce back to find Diaz, who followed it up with a shot that went to Forster again, so that Ibrahim returned to follow it with a header in the goal.
Tottenham tried to quickly return to the meeting, and from a free kick that was crossed inside the area, Dier met it with a header, but it reached the hands of goalkeeper Tatarusano easily.
And with Tottenham pressuring the ball holder in Milan, Emerson succeeded in cutting it from Salimikers in front of the penalty area, to fire a shot from outside the area, but it reached the middle of the goal into the arms of the Rossoneri goalkeeper.
In the 42nd minute, Rafael Leao carried out a quick counterattack, but the Portuguese made a hasty decision to hit the ball from a distance, to easily reach the hands of goalkeeper Forster.
