MONTE CARLO, Monaco (AP) Filippo Inzaghi tied the score early in the second half and Marek Jankulovski and Kaka followed up with goals to lead AC Milan over Sevilla 3-1 on Friday in the European Super Cup, played in the memory of Antonio Puerta.
Both teams and match officials wore black armbands in memory of Puerta, the 22-year-old Sevilla midfielder who collapsed on the field during last Saturday's Spanish League match against Getafe, and died three days later in a hospital after multiple cardiac arrests.
"We wanted to win to dedicate the game to Antonio, but we at least played well," Sevilla coach Juande Ramos said.
Players from both teams wore Puerta's name on the backs of their jerseys underneath their shirt numbers, and a minute's silence was observed while flags at Stade Louis II were flown at half staff.
Milan fans chanted Puerta's name and draped a banner reading "Onore a Puerta (Honor to Puerta)" from their end of the stadium. Sevilla's section featured several banners in homage to him.
"What has happened in the last few days with the death of Puerta created a unique atmosphere for this game," Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti said. "Obviously, Sevilla were more affected by that than us, but they played well."
The game featured last season's winners of the Champions League (Milan) and UEFA Cup (Sevilla), and Milan won the Super Cup for the fifth time.
