Inter-Milan beat defending champions Barcelona
SAN SIRO: Inter Milan came from behind to beat holders Barcelona 3-1 in Italy and take control of their European Champions League football semi-final.
Barca went ahead after 19 minutes through a Pedro goal, before Wesley Sneijders levelled on 30 minutes.
Maicon put the homeside ahead just after the break before Diego Milito sealed the tie on the hour.
The result gives Barca a mountain to climb in the second leg in Catalonia next week as they seek to become the first team since AC Milan in 1990 to defend their European Cup trophy.
Bayern Munich and Lyon meet in their semi-final first leg match tomorrow.
SA win 1st ODI by 45 runs; Taibu century in vain
South Africa won the 1st ODI of the 2-Match Series against Zimbabwe by 45 runs at the Willowmoore Park in Benoni yesterday. Zimbabwe who had put the homeside to bat first were taken for 295/6 in the allotted 50 overs.

Zimbabwe got to 250 for 6 in reply which was a feat considering that they were reduced to 48 for 5 in 17 overs. Tatenda Taibu returned back into the Zimbabwe team to score an unbeaten 103 from 112 balls (with 6 fours and 3 sixes). He was well supported by Stuart Matsikenyeri who made 86 from 87 balls (with 8 fours and a six). Taibu got the Man of the Match.
