Muntari Impresses But AC Milan Exit Coppa Italia

Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari was in full time action for AC Milan who were knocked out at the semi-final of the Coppa Italia on Tuesday night despite drawing 2-2 with Juventus. Milan went into the second leg having suffered a 2-1 first leg defeat in the semi-final at the San Siro last month and needed a favourable win to progress to the final. Muntari was deployed as a holding midfielder along with Clarion Seedorf and impressed in the game but was booked in the 16th minute for a bad challenge. The Inter Milan loanee provided the assist for Maxi Lopez to strike Milan in front on 81 minutes. Former Ghana midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng was expected to mark his return from injury was not included in the Milan squad for the trip.
