END OF MATCH – Monza-Milan 0-1. Milan takes home the three points from the nearby away match in Brianza. A goal from Tijjani Reijnders was enough for the Rossoneri, arriving at the end of a first half which was not excellent, on the contrary. Defense in difficulty faced with Monza’s offensives and attack clogged: just before the full whistle the right counterattack was finalized by the Dutchman’s header. In the second half Fonseca fixed the team by moving Pulisic back almost to a midfield position and the Rossoneri found more balance. Monza less aggressive, except for a few ideas at the end, and Milan who missed a couple of important opportunities, especially with Leao. In the end what mattered were the three points and the three points arrived.
93′ Naivety of Morata who loses a bloody ball, Monza maneuvers and brings Maldini to shoot: high conclusion
90′ Five minutes of added time
90′ LEAO IN THE CURVE! Moses comes down on the right and puts it in tow, Lion also anticipates Morata and from the edge he kicks with force but very high!
89′ Third and fourth substitutions for Milan: they come out Pulisic e Terraccianothey enter Moses e Calabria
87′ Bondo exits, deserving of a second yellow for holding by Pulisic but pardoned by Feliciani, and Valoti enters Monza
85′ LEAO OVERWHELMING! The 10 starts at speed and skips two opponents, also winning a tackle. He finds himself alone in front of Turati but with the ball a little too far forward: he tries the dig but finds the response from the Brianza goalkeeper
84′ Punishment: Theo crosses for the head of Morata who impacts the ball badly and also anticipates Loftus
83′ Morata knocked out while aiming for the area: Bondo booked
82′ Another risk for the Devil: ball inside for Maric who has space but hits badly from a good position. Thiaw swerves into a corner
81′ And here is Milan’s second substitution: out Chukwueze and inside Loftus
80′ Mess of Terracciano which restarts Caprari: the cross comes from Vignato at the far post who tries the volley. Good coordination but no precision. But Monza is returning to the Maignan area
78′ Monza double change: Maric and Caprari enter, Djuric and Carboni exit. Offensive traction for Nesta
78′ Written output of Pavlovic which opens the field for Monza to restart but they don’t take advantage of the opportunity
77′ Recovery of Pulisic which starts the counterattack Chukwueze who, however, crosses too much on Turati
74′ Theo providential with the defensive diagonal: the Frenchman anticipates with his head the insertion of D’Ambrosio who probably also commits a foul even if the referee doesn’t blow the whistle
72′ We see Monza again with Bondo who tries from outside but the ball flies into the corner
70′ The ball dances dangerously in front of Turati in a corner kick situation for Milan. Monza is saved somehow
67′ SUPER THEO! Speed up the train Hernandez on the left after a triangle in the strait with Reijnders: Gets to the edge of the area and shoots hard. Turati had to take refuge in a corner
64′ Nesta responds with a double change: Vignato and D’Ambrosio enter, Dany Mota and Pedro Pereira exit
64′ NOW LEAO! Ball for the number 10 who pockets well for Reijnders: the Dutchman returns it to him but Rafa kicks badly from a good position
63′ It’s time to Rafael Leao: Okafor exits
62′ He tries Theo from the left: the cross is cleared to the feet of Breathe who shoots but is unbalanced and the ball ends up very high
61′ Milan risks at the other end: Dany Mota doesn’t connect a dangerous ball in the area and Maignan check
60′ MILAN OPPORTUNITY! He tries Reijnders of first intention on the developments of the corner: the shot is fouled by Okafor but Turati is not surprised
59′ You see the Milan forward for the first time in this second half: Chukwueze crosses from the right but Marì beats everyone to a corner
55′ Expelled Thiago Lealcollaborator of Fonseca. Protests from the Portuguese who wanted a card for Pablo Marì guilty of a rough intervention on Pulisic which, indeed, deserved disciplinary sanction
52′ Good idea Okafor who leaves in the middle of three and is knocked out by Djuric who is warned
49′ Inviting free kick for Monza: Maldini shoots high on the ball
47′ First yellow of the match: Morata warned
45′ Here we go again! No changes for Nesta and Fonseca
END OF THE FIRST HALF – Milan, despite a first half full of confusion in terms of play and especially in defence, ended the first half with a one goal lead. The Rossoneri broke the deadlock in the 43rd minute thanks to Reijnders’ header after a good counterattack orchestrated by Chukwueze and Pulisic. In the opening minutes, a Monza goal was disallowed which then created two or three clear scoring opportunities, especially with Maldini: in one the former Milan player ate the net and in the other Maignan found the answer. The French goalkeeper also starred with a miracle on Pedro Pereira. The Rossoneri are calm in attack and at a loss defensively, but they are ahead and this may be enough.
46′ Coast to coast di Reijnders who runs all over the pitch and then tries a shot that hits the defense. Then Breathe fuels the action but to no avail
45′ Two minutes of injury time
43′ MILAAAAN GOOOL!!! Reijnders scores!!! Milan’s quick restart with Chukwueze who makes Pulisic run on the right: the American’s cross finds Morata in the middle of the area who heads it but hits Izzo. On the rebound Reijnders is alone and can only push into the net with his head. Milan lead 1-0 despite several difficulties
37′ Without ideas, Breathe he tries a shot from distance which, thanks to a deflection, becomes dangerous and goes out for a corner
34′ Milan were once again caught off guard on the counterattack Pavlovic e Thiaw which cause confusion. Maldini and Dany Mota fail to capitalize with the Portuguese committing a foul
30′ Djuric’s offside nullified Maldini’s personal action as he had put two Milan defenders down and chipped the post with Maignan beaten. How Milan dances behind
29′ MAIGNAN’S SUPER SAVE! Cross from the left that finds the insertion of Pedro Pereira who all alone can head it undisturbed: a super response is needed from Mike Maignan
28′ Cross from the right of Chukwueze what a fish Morata forgotten by the opponents in the penalty area: the Spaniard’s header, however, was completely missed
25′ Monza break again with Maldini who finds himself between the lines and tries to place it in the corner from outside: Maignan it extends well into corners
22′ Still Okafor imperfect! First big ride of Theo Hernandez on the left that splits Monza’s left out and at the back of the field he puts in tow for Okafor who hits badly, again, from a good position
20′ OKAFOR YOU ARE GETTING A GREAT OPPORTUNITY! High ball recovery Milan who plays hand-in-hand with Morata which opens for the Swiss who from a good position spoils everything by shooting centrally. At least we’ll see the Rossoneri again!
15′ WHAT DO YOU EAT MALDINI! Rossoneri defense still disorganized: cross from the right for Maldini who, very alone in the middle of the area, as if for a moving penalty, shoots incredibly wide. Milan were pardoned once again, having disappeared from the pitch
13′ Maldini hits the wall with a free kick, Kyriakopoulos tries on the rebound but his shot goes wide Maignan
12′ Milan in a state of dolls after the goal disallowed against the Brianza. Monza took courage and Maldini earned a foul on the edge of the area after a late and clumsy save by Pavlovic
7′ A GOAL AT MONZA CANCELED! Dany Mota scores but Feliciani cancels. Milan loses two rebounds in midfield and Monza finds the Rossoneri defense exposed at the first opportunity: Djuric plays for the Portuguese who pierces Maignan. The referee immediately blows the whistle for a foul by Bondo on Theo Hernandez that occurred earlier. Thanks to the Rossoneri here
4′ What a pity! Milan comes out very well on the axis Morata-Theo: the Frenchman sees an inviting corridor that would lead Pulisic ahead of Turati but misses the timing of the pass
3′ First Rossoneri initiative with Chukwueze who centers and tries the right: weak and deviated conclusion, therefore harmless
2′ The tactical outline was very clear from the start: Monza gathered in its half of the pitch waiting for the Milan which sets
1′ Let’s start!
