Albert Paloschi came off the AC Milan bench and scored with his first touch on his Serie A debut to give them a 1-0 home win over Siena.
Paloschi's confident half-volley from the edge of the area beat Alex Manninger and he said afterwards:"I had a bit of luck. I really didn't expect to score on my debut and I still feel goosebumps now."
Before Paloschi's introduction the European and World Club champions looked far from impressive.
With Pato and Kaka absent, coach Carlo Ancelotti switched 4-3-3 formation to play 4-4-2 with Ronaldo and Filippo Inzaghi paired in attack but the move did not pay dividends
Ancelotti was delighted by Paloschi's contribution and was quick to warn off any suitors who might want to take him on loan.
"For now he is staying with us. We need him at this point in time. Let us allow him the chance to develop."
Clarence Seedorf, who has only just recovered from injury, replaced Ronaldo at halftime and his lofted ball over the Siena defense gave Paloschi his scoring chance.
Milan are now two points behind fourth-placed Fiorentina with 36 points and a game in hand.
