Serie A, Milan falls in Turin and slips to -6 from Napoli
Torino – Milan 2-1 in the Sunday postponement of the 12th day
After the goleada in Zagreb, Milan unexpectedly fell in the league in front of an excellent Torino. The Rossoneri paid dearly for three minutes of collective amnesia, between the 35th and 37th minutes, being surprised first by Djidji and then by Miranchuk, for a deadly one-two that would be decisive in directing the match.
In the second half, the Rossoneri started off strong right away, but after a few minutes the Granata seemed to contain the Rossoneri reaction without too much trouble. Then, in the 67th minute, a controversial episode seemed to put the meneghini back on track. On a long throw, Toro defender Buongiorno seemed to have the advantage over Junior Messias, who nevertheless got to the ball first and then deposited it into the net with a nice lob from outside the box, also anticipating goalkeeper Milinkovic-Savic’s ill-advised trip outside the box. Vehement protests from Juric, who complained of a push, which appeared quite obvious, by the Brazilian. Goal validated and red card for the Croatian coach.
Milan takes courage and tries everything, but the result will not change anymore. Toro gives continuity to its championship after the beautiful victory in Udine, while Milan, bypassed in second place by Atalanta, which now has one point more than the ‘Diavolo,’ has to deal with a ranking that sees Napoli running away at +6 on the Rossoneri.
