![]() Milan thrashed by Dortmund
Hat-trick hero Amoroso (left) celebrates with Ewerthon
Borussia Dortmund 4-0 AC Milan
Brazilian Marcio Amoroso struck a first-half hat-trick as Borussia Dortmund put one foot in the Uefa Cup final. The striker was in devastating form as his early heroics ensured next week's second leg is unlikely to be much more than a formality. Amoroso had already had one goal disallowed when he opened the scoring from the penalty spot on eight minutes.
Five minutes later he completed a stunning hat-trick, flying in for a far-post header from an Ewerthon cross. Ewerthon was again the provider for Dortmund's fourth, Joerg Heinrich the benefactor. Milan were without injured striker Andriy Shevchenko and defender Alessandro Costacurta, while Portuguese midfielder Rui Costa was on the bench with a strain. However, they missed much more, showing little sign of defensive order or midfield punch. The two meet again next Thursday, but already Italy's hopes of an all-Milan seem over.
Borussia Dortmund: Lehmann, Worns, Metzelder, Reuter, Heinrich, Oliseh, Dede, Rosicky, Koller, Ewerthon, Amoroso. Subs: Laux, Kohler, Evanilson, Stevic, Herrlich, Reina, Addo. AC Milan: Abbiati, Maldini, Kaladze, Contra, Laursen, Albertini, Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini, Inzaghi, Jose Mari. Subs: Rossi, Roque Junior, Rui Costa, Serginho, Brocchi, Donati, Simone. Referee: Graham Poll (England)
