AC Milan was well paid in this first period. Cagliari was in fact denied two goals by VAR to Roberto Piccoli and Gabriele Zappa (29th, 45th + 4). Mike Maignan also made two notable saves (39th, 41st). Returning from the locker room, the Sardinians did not give up. They were rewarded following a loss of ball from Fofana which benefited Zappa, the defender beating Maignan with the right (2-2, 54th).
