PONTIAC: Italian defender Daniele Bonera scored the deciding goal in a penalty-kick shootout for AC Milan after playing a goal-less draw Friday with Greek side Panathinaikos in a football friendly.

The shootout was deadlocked until the fourth Panathinaikos shooter, Antonios Petropoulas, fired wide of the goal, setting the stage for Bonera to net the winner.

A goal controversy came in the 55th minute when Sidney Govou`s shot for the Greek champions deflected off the crossbar and flirted with crossing the goal line before being cleard by Bonera. No goal was awarded.

The exhibition match was played on a temporary grass field similar to the one used in the Pontiac Silverdome for matches in the 1994 World Cup. The crowd of 30,514 left the domed venue less than half filled for the match.

US defender Oguchi Onyewu did not play for AC Milan.
