Narrow victory of Milan at Bentegodi: 1-0 decided by Reijnders in the second half, after a first half lacking in chances and decidedly balanced. Beyond the Dutchman's performance, an enterprising Jimenez and a very useful Fofana in both phases stand out. These are the votes of the Rossoneri:
Maignan 6,5 Good intervention on Sarr in the first half: the only noteworthy point of his match. In the second half he was inactive: the save on Sarr still had an impact on the final result.
Emerson Royal 6 He made up for the yellow in the first half, more out of breath than Jimenez and not very involved in the push phase. Growing in the second half, when he attacks more and with more courage.

Thiaw 6,5 Attentive and reactive in avoiding a dangerous rebound in the first half, after an intervention by Maignan. He gets to the point and is effective early, without fouling. Punctual and decisive interventions.
Cage 6.5 First half of ordinary administration, in which there is never any trouble in Sarr's area. Careful readings: more staid than his department colleague but equally effective. Good save from Tchatchoua's cross.
Jimenez 7 Quality individual ideas when pushing and athletic skills when chasing the opponent, he has leg and personality. Moved to winger with Leao's exit, he also tries to score with a treacherous shot from outside.
Terracciano 6 He lights up at the end of the first half and comes close to scoring with a shot from outside. Attentive in coverage, little involved in the possession phase both in the first half and in the second half.
Breath 7 The presence of Reijnders makes him responsible in the construction phase, but his strong point remains his usual dynamism. He opens the second half with a great assist for Reijnders, a perfect through ball that embellishes his game..
Chukwueze 5 Active at the start but gets lost in the last play, often gets to the cross but doesn't find his teammates, too many errors even in the easiest passes. Smoky and imprecise.
Dal 70′ Calabria 6 He enters the field in the unusual guise of a tall winger and is rarely seen, thanks to a prudent AC Milan in defending their lead.
Reijnders 7.5 He starts in the midfield but moves back in search of playable balls, marked on sight. Less involved than usual in the first half, he redeemed himself in the second half with a right-footed shot to make it 1-0 and with global growth. If he turns, in fact, the whole of Milan turns.
Leo 5.5 He relies on individual cues without looking at his teammates, with mixed results. His match ends at the half hour mark due to a muscle problem.
Dal 32′ Theo Hernandez 5,5 He is unable to push having to control Tchatchoua's bucking, the yellow-blue winger is a difficult customer and the Frenchman appears limited, often relying on long balls.
Abraham 5 He is unable to play on the bank and tie up the game, in the first half he never threatens himself. He doesn't redeem himself in the second half and often remains separated from the game.
