The second half began with a different song when the boys tutored by Massimo Allegri returned with the determination of scoring atleast one goal. And 12 minutes into the half, Montolivo's deviated free kick was corrected into the net by Kevin Prince Boateng's shot.
The 1-0 lead boasted the AC Milan lads and spurred them to contro-attack runs in search of more goals.

Barcellona's efforts to reduce the tally were futile, despite the fact that the Scottish referee, Mr. Thompson allowed 5 minutes extra time.
The scoreline was 2-0 for AC Milan at the end of the game with both goals scored by two ghanaian players who were absent at the just concluded Afcon 2013 where Ghana finished at the 4th position. Sulley Muntari was not invited by Ghana, because he was recovering for injuries while Boateng had since renounced national calls.
In the other Uefa champions' league match between Galatasaray and Schalke 04, the much expected Drogba's impact was not seen and felt as it ended 1-1.
The return leg of both matches will be staged in a forthnight.
