VIDEO: Mexes scores wonder goal as Milan qualify for last 16
AC Milan secured a spot in the last 16 of the Champions League on Wednesday after a strong second half proved sufficient for the Italians to beat Belgian champions Anderlecht 3-1 away
Published in Ahram Online on 22 - 11 - 2012

Stephan El Shaarawy, the leading scorer in Italy's Serie A, found himself alone in front of goal in the 47th minute after a cross into the box by Mattia De Sciglio and calmly knocked the ball past Anderlecht keeper Silvio Proto.
Philippe Mexes added another goal for Milan in the 71st minute with a spectacular overhead kick from the edge of the box resembling the strike of Sweden's Zlatan Ibrahimovic against England.
Tom De Sutter pulled one back for the hosts in the 77th minute but Anderlecht's hopes of remaining in the Champions League were over when Alexandre Pato sealed their fate by converting a pass from El Shaarawy in injury time.
Seven-times European Cup winners Milan, struggling down in 12th in Serie A, qualify with eight points in second spot.
Anderlecht, who held Milan to a goalless draw at the San Siro during the first Group C encounter, had dominated the first half with Milan Jovanovic and Dennis Praet failing to convert attempts on goal.
Anderlecht, the Belgian league leaders, were reduced to 10 men after Bram Nuytinck was sent off for a foul on Pato in the 70th minute.
Malaga secured top spot in the group by drawing 2-2 at Zenit St Petersburg, who will now battle it out with Anderlecht for third spot and a Europa League berth with both sides on four points.
The Belgians travel to Malaga for their final group game on Dec. 4.
