Title: Marseille knock Inter out on away goals
Post by: sportsbot on Mar 17, 2012, 04:00 PM
A wild finish at the San Siro saw Marseille knock Inter Milan out of the UEFA Champions League (http://www.uefa.com/competitions/ucl/index.html) to reach the quarter-finals and pile even more pressure on the beleaguered Claudio Ranieri as the hosts won 2-1 but went out on away goals.

Inter spurned glorious early chances but Diego Milito (http://www.theinfostride.com/worldfootball/statisticsandrecords/players/player=198273/index.html)'s scrappy 75th-minute goal appeared enough to force extra time at least.

But Brandao then scored a goal from nothing in the second minute of stoppage time, and even though there was a further twist when Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda (http://www.theinfostride.com/worldfootball/statisticsandrecords/players/player=254133/index.html) fouled Giampaolo Pazzini (http://www.theinfostride.com/worldfootball/statisticsandrecords/players/player=254182/index.html), earning a second yellow card and allowing the Italy (http://www.theinfostride.com/associations/association=ita/index.html) international to give Inter victory on the night, coach Ranieri's side went out on the away goals rule.
