TEN-MAN Inter Milan hung on to beat crosstown rival AC Milan 1-0 on Sunday in a bad-tempered Serie A derby that saw Milan have a goal disallowed and a late penalty appeal waved away as it chased an equalizer.
Walter Samuel headed Inter in front in the fourth minute following a howler from goalkeeper Christian Abbiati as the Nerazzurri's quick start seemed to surprise Milan.
Milan improved but had Riccardo Montolivo's goal disallowed for a foul on Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic.
Inter's chances of a third straight derby victory seemingly diminished when Yuto Nagatomo was sent off for a second yellow card shortly after the break. Milan laid siege to the Inter goal but could not find the equalizer, despite going agonizingly close on several occasions.
It was also denied what looked to be a clear-cut penalty late on when Robinho appeared to be brought down by Samuel.
In a heated atmosphere, there were several calls over the speaker system for the fans to stay in their seats and behave themselves or risk the game being suspended. Former Milan striker Antonio Cassano was roundly jeered throughout by the home support in his first match against his old club since his offseason switch to its bitter rivals.
