MILAN (Reuters) - AC Milan equalised with the last kick of the game to force an extraordinary 2-2 draw against Inter Milan on Saturday as the historic derby was played at lunchtime for the first time and with both clubs under Chinese ownership. Defender Cristian Zapata was Milan's unlikely hero when he managed to force the ball over the line at the far post in the seventh minute of stoppage time after Inter failed to clear a corner. Before there was time to re-start, the referee blew for time, sparking wild celebrations among the Milan fans and leaving Inter's players slumped on the pitch in despair. Zapata's fellow defender Alessio Romagnoli began the fightback seven minutes from time when he turned in Suso's cross. The result kept AC Milan sixth in Serie A, inside the European places, while Inter stayed outside in seventh, two points behind their rivals.
