Champions League: Zurich stuns Milan

Hannu Tihinen scored in the 10th minute Wednesday to give FC Zurich a surprising 1-0 win over struggling AC Milan in the Champions League.

The Finnish defender backheeled the ball in from a corner at the near post past goalkeeper Marco Storari. Despite numerous efforts, including four by Filippo Inzaghi, Milan was unable to find the net as the Italian powerhouse continued its poor start to the season.

American defender Oguchi Onyewu made his Champions League debut for Milan in the second half.

Zurich had opportunities to increase its lead in the first half, but spent much of the second period playing on the counter attack.

Despite the loss, Milan is second behind Group C leader Real Madrid thanks to a superior goal difference.
