European champions AC Milan were held to a 0-0 draw by Sparta Prague in a Champions League knockout round first-leg match played in freezing conditions on Tuesday.
Sparta had the better of a first half dominated by defences and the hosts' striker Igor Glusevic found the back of the net in the 52nd minute, only for the effort to be ruled out for offside.
The close call appeared to wake up AC Milan's slumbering attack and Ukrainian striker Andriy Shevchenko was twice foiled by the excellent positioning and quick reflexes of Sparta keeper Jaromir Blazek.
