ROME, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) -- AC Milan managed a 2-2 draw at AS Roma on Sunday with David Beckham making his debut. Mirko Vucinic put Roma ahead midway through the first half but Alexandre Pato equalized just after the restart when he tapped in Kaka's cross and the 19-year-old soon clipped in a superb second. Vucinic headed the leveler on 72 minutes.
Beckham, on loan from Los Angeles Galaxy for two months, was given a surprise start in Milan's three-man midfield and was tidy without doing anything spectacular.
