Hany Said's AS Bari shocked Italian
giants Inter Milan in the Coppa Italia (Italian Cup).
Bari won the game by a single goal scored in the first
half through Gaetano D' Agostino.
Preview:
With Hani Said getting injured in the last couple of
months, he has not been chosen again by the manager
for a while. He started on the bench, and was expected
to come on.
Bari went into the game confident. They
had to make the most of the home game, before they go
to the San Siro.
The match:
The first leg of the last 16 game started in the evening.
Hani was placed as one of the five substitutes for the
match. Inter had a reasonably strong team, although
they rested some of their big stars and played 5 youth
players, as well as Mohammed Kallon.
After 25 minutes of the game a cross was played in from
the right wing and Gaetano D'Agostino headed the ball
into the goal.
Kallon and Martins attempted some shots on the Bari
goalkeeper, but Bari managed to keep a clean sheet for
the first half.
As the second half went past, the Serie B side continued
keeping possession and seemed happy with the result.
Two of the substitutes came on but the Egyptian was
not needed and he remained on the bench.
Bottom-Line:
It was a fine performance by Bari. Next time they will
face players like Crespo and Vieri, as the Inter manager
was not pleased with this performance. Hani was not
needed and may not be fully fit. He will probably not
start the second leg, but may come on especially if
the coach needs to defend a bit more.
Meanwhile in the other matches of the tournament, Perugia,
AC Milan, Lazio and Roma are looking odds on to go through.
EP will update you on Bari's performances in this tournament
as well as in Serie B.
