Como scares Milan, then comes the comeback: Pulisic and Reijnders decisive
Milan-Como 2-1
After the one with at home Lecce the previous day, comes another three-point comeback for Milan, this time in front of the San Siro crowd. Against a lively and at times superior Como in terms of play, the Rossoneri struggled and went to halftime down by a goal, before coming back thanks to "usual" Pulisic and Reijnders.
The first half of the game è almost entirely of the Larian brand: Cesc Fabregas’ men controlled ball possession and crushed Sergio Conceiçç&o’s men several times in their own area, a superiority that found fulfillment on 33' with Lucas Da Cuhna’s very precise shot that sailed past Maignan and into the goal at the far post. At halftime è 1-0 to Como, with the home fans not liking it and covering the Rossoneri players with whistles.
At the beginning of the second half there are Fofana and Alex Jimenez for Bondo and Theo Hernandez, while for the guests Dossena takes over Kempf. The plot of the match does not change and Da Cunha scores again, at 50': the goal is però annulled for offside, after the check in the VAR Room. Soon after, another change for the Rossoneri: out Musah, in Joao Felix.
In fact, the cancelled goal è the episode that changes the match, because from the possible 0-2 it goes, at 53', to 1-1: Reijnders ball for Pulisic, the American doesn't tremble in front of Butez and makes it 1-1. Como now seems to be in oxygen debt and Fabregas runs for cover, inserting at 63' Perrone and Van der Brempt in place of Caqueret and Dossena (stopped by a physical problem), and at 72' Douvikas in place of Cutrone.
For Milan, however, there'è Abraham in place of a dull Santi Gimenez at 68': the change è more than effective becauseé è Abraham himself at 75' to serve a perfect ball for Reijnders, who enters the box and unloads the ball into the net for 2-1. Conceiçao, at this point, takes off Leao to insert Loftus-Cheek at 78', while Fabregas surprisingly inserts Dele Alli (two-year stopper) in place of Da Cunha at 81'.
The change did not pay off, because Alli himself, on 90's, got himself sent off for a very harsh intervention on Loftus-Cheek. The match became even more nervous in the recovery, so much so that referee Marchetti also sent off Fabregas, but despite the maxi-recovery of almost 8' the result did not change. Milan wins 2-1.
