Both AC Milan and Inter Milan lost their UEFA Cup semi-final, first-leg games yesterday evening.
AC Milan's trip to Borussia Dortmund saw the Brazilian Amoruso score a spectacular first-half hat-trick in a 4-0 win for the Bundesliga outfit. Dortmund's other goal came in the second half from Jorg Heinrich.
Back in Milan, an own-goal from Ivan Cordoba settled Inter's clash against Feyenoord in favour of the Dutch side.
The Colombian defender could only divert a low cross by the former Nottingham Forest striker Pierre van Hooijdonk into his own net in the 50th minute. Not even the late introduction of Ronaldo could save the game for the Italians.
