Acc Milan wastes two penalties, Bologna scores one: at San Siro è draw
At the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in San Siro, Milan did not go beyond a 2-2 draw against Bologna in a match in which they wasted even two penalties conceding one, the decisive one.
In the second minute and the first foul intervention on Pulisic Calafiori was immediately cautioned by Massa. At 19’ the first chance for the Rossoneri: usual action of Leao on the left and conclusion rejected by Skorupski, then left by Calabria from outside the area that just misses the target.
On 22’ Reijnders also tries from afar with the right, clearly out. At 29’ Bologna in the lead: there are four in the Milan area who try the conclusion, Fabbian twice, then the ball reaches Zirkzee who from an angled position pierces Maignan with his right, slightly deflected by Theo Hernandez, at the first post.
On 33’ cross from the right by Pulisic for Kjaer who alone in the area hits a header but sends it high. At 39’ unintentional kick in the face by Ferguson to Kjaer, Massa expels Thiago Motta for protests and awards the penalty to Milan that Giroud shoots weakly and Skorupski blocks almost easily to his left. At 45’ the Rossoneri equalized thanks to Loftus-Cheek who deflected a cross from the right by Calabria into the net.
At the’beginning of the resumption Zirkzee found a ball between his feet due to a hole by Kjaer and after a resounding counterloop he sent high from five meters. At 64’ on the development of a corner kick Rejinders’ right-footed shot from outside goes smack into the crossbar of the posts to the right of Skorupski who was overmatched. On 70’ cross from the right by Pulisic, Leao almost saw it bounce off his left and the ball ended up out by a whisker.
At 74’ second penalty in favor of AC Milan becauseé Leao, who started from his own half of the field, was landed with a hand to the face by Beukema. On the penalty spot does not go Giroud, who è was substituted, but Theo Hernandez, who shoots it on the post to the left of Skorupski, then è he first to control the rebound, which is forbidden by the rules if the goalkeeper does not touch it, and Massa can’ do nothing but cancel the Bologna defense’s own goal.
At’83’ Bologna goes into meltdown and Florenzi undisturbed crosses from the right into the box for Loftus-Cheek who in turn undisturbed inserts a header making Skorupski’s attempt to parry in vain and sealing his personal double and Milan’s lead. At’89’ Terracciano holds Kristiansen by the jersey in the area on Orsolini’s cross, Massa is called to Var and awards the penalty which at 92’ the same Orsolini transforms to the right of Maignan who guesses but does not arrive.
At 96’ the former on duty Saelemaekers crosses dangerously in the middle and Kjaer saves providentially. It ends 2-2, after Juventus also Milan draws and Inter, waiting for the commitment with Fiorentina, laughs.
