Friday meeting over Milan match

Cases

UEFA will deal with the abandoned FC Internazionale Milano v AC Milan match on Friday.

Missiles thrown
The body will convene in Nyon, Switzerland at 14.00CET after last night's quarter-final second leg at the Giuseppe Meazza was abandoned in the 75th minute, after missiles were thrown on to the field including one that struck Milan goalkeeper Dida. A UEFA spokesman said a decision would be communicated during Friday afternoon.

Play abandoned
Milan, who won the first leg 2-0 last week, had scored a 30th-minute goal through Andriy Shevchenko to lead 3-0 on aggregate but shortly after Nerazzurri midfield player Esteban Cambiasso had a goal disallowed, play was suspended.

Merk decision
Plastic bottles and fireworks were among the objects launched from behind the Milan keeper's goal and German referee Markus Merk decided to suspend the game and take both sets of players off the field and into the dressing-rooms.

Match abandoned
An attempt to resume the game was made at 22.40CET but within seconds, further objects landed on the pitch and the referee immediately abandoned the match.

No Shevchenko proceedings
Meanwhile, UEFA has said it will not instigate proceedings against Shevchenko for an incident involving the Ukrainian player and Inter opponent Marco Materazzi which occurred in the third minute of the game.

No indication
A UEFA spokesman said that after the viewing of the match video, it appeared that the incident occurred in front of the assistant referee, who did not indicate anything to referee Merk.
