Forza Rui Costa

from acmilan.com

Rui Costa celebrated his contract renewal with a wonderful goal to put Milan ahead against Brescia, but it was not enough to take all three points as the visitors scored a late equaliser. The Portuguese midfielder followed the lead of Andriy Shevchenko, Clarence Seedorf, Kaka and Serginho, who all netted after extending their deals. The Rossoneri were looking for their ninth consecutive league win, but came up against a well-organised Brescia side that conceded little in all areas of the field. Coach Carlo Ancelotti was without injured captain Paolo Maldini, while Jaap Stam and Kaka were both suspended, but Milan started brightly and Rui opened his account for the season in delightful fashion, curling a spectacular shot into the top corner of the net. However, on a heavy pitch, the exertions of the mid-week Champions League tie against Inter started to play their part and Brescia came back into the game and overall, were well-worth their eqauliser which came with just three minutes left of the game.


Oh, I just got an acmilan shirt, not the play shirt, but a shirt from Adidas. With the 10 at the back (my favorite number). That's Costa's number.
