Already heading into their final match on US. Tour, Ac Milan still haven't made  new progress in the transfer market as their latest transfer target, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa's deal apparently wen't 'dead' (for now) as vice president, Adriano Galliani, revealed that Montpellier rejected Rossoneri's bid. Although Galliani claimed that the move for Yanga Mbiwa has been shut down, many believes that the 23-year-old defender eventually will arrive at San Siro, considering his contract runs out in 2013.

The Rossonerri were playing below par, arguably with some important players such as Ronaldinho , Ambrosini and Thiago Silva were not actually match fit yet. The latter even had to leave the field early, however Milan that played poorly in the first half and were a goal down, managed to shape up a bit in the second half to equalize via Dinho's penalty after Marco Borriello was hacked down in the penalty box. The Brazilian superstar doesn't make any mistake in converting the penalty and made the scoreline 1-1, however with a man advantage (as Zurich player who gave away the penalty been send off) Milan still unable to take advantage and missed out on few chances to win the game.
