AFP: Ibrahimovic, 41, was in Milan’s starting line-up for the first time since January last year and smashed home a penalty at the second attempt in first-half stoppage time to make the score 1-1 following Roberto Pereyra’s ninth-minute opener.But it wasn’t enough to stop fourth-placed Milan from losing their fourth match away from home in their last five and miss the chance to move provisionally second in Italy’s top flight. Stefano Pioli’s team stay fourth, two points behind local rivals Inter Milan in second in the race for the Champions League.
They will drop out of the top four if Roma win the Rome derby with Lazio yesterday evening while Inter face fierce rivals Juventus hoping to steal a march on their rivals for Europe’s top club competition. “When a team plays like this it means the coach hasn’t done his job. We played way below our standard,” Pioli told Sky. “We not in a good position in the league and getting into the top four is so important for us… We’ve not done enough over the last few weeks.”Wearing the captain’s armband Ibrahimovic missed his first spot-kick but was given a second chance when Beto was penalised for encroachment, and thumped his shot down the middle of the goal.At 41 years and 166 days old Ibrahimovic overtook former AC Milan defender Alessandro Costacurta — who also netted against Udinese in 2007 aged 41 — as the oldest scorer in Italy’s top flight.
