Milan, owned by Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, disputed the injury and even accused Konrad of faking If to salvage the game.
But the UEFA commission said It was clear that Konrad had been hurt.
"The evidence produced clearly showed that Casino Salzburg's goalkeepar had been hit by a half-full plastic bottle and that he had to leave the playing field because of this injury." it said In a statement
"The commission therefore partially admitted the claim made by the Austrian club after the match.
"However, it does not consider that the -incident in question changed the face of the game. That is why it confirms the validity of the sporting result. 3-0 in favour of the Milanese club."
