At the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, a show-stopping draw with plenty of chances for 2-2 between AC Milan and Fiorentina in Saturday night’s match of the 31st day of Series A.

The Viola started better and took the lead in the 7th minute: Musah gave the ball away to Mandragora who gave to Gudmundsson, ball in the middle where Thiaw scored an awkward own goal but in case of his failure to do so Kean would have scored in elementary fashion.

And Kean in fact resoundingly doubles in the 10th minute on almost identical action: spiovente on the right side of the area, Dodò puts in the middle for the Azzurri striker who unloads into the net with an empty goal. In the 17th minute again Dodò sends on the outside of the net.

.

Then Milan woke up: De Gea anticipates Reijnders millimetrically, then in the 19th minute Leao goes off in his own way on the left but instead of shooting he puts in the middle where two lonely teammates in front of De Gea don’t get there.

On 21′ Gudmundsson’s right-footed shot deflected into the corner on a dive by Maignan. In the 23rd minute Abraham after a beautiful exchange with Pulisic shortened the distance by electrocuting De Gea with a right-footed shot. Musah, booed by the San Siro stands, gives way to Jovic.

In the 42nd minute, Ranieri scores a resounding goal from outside the box that is, however, disallowed by Ayroldi for a foul by Parisi on Pulisic during the onside. Shortly afterwards the visiting bench calls for a red card for a foul on Parisi.

Resume. On the ready and Leao is anticipated on a corner kick by Cataldi at the time of the shot. In the 49th minute Pablo Marì blocks a shot by Abraham in the middle of the area. In the 51st minute Kean’s counter-foot and right-footed shot is repelled at the first post by an alert Maignan, who a minute later blocks a weak Mandragora conclusion.

A Milan siege for a couple of minutes: Abraham’s header on which De Gea makes a miracle, shortly afterwards Jovic sends off target. In the 56th minute De Gea’s double miracle, first on Reijnders and then especially on Pulisic from a pass.

On 63′ Beltran slots into the box and with his left forced a save from Maignan. In the 64th minute AC Milan equalized: Fiorentina’s collective sleep on Fofana’s veticale throw on which Jovic pierced De Gea with his left for the most classic goal of the ex.

The goal was scored by the former.

In the 69th minute another resounding save by Maignan on Kean who started in a regular position and alone managed to get his shot deflected. In the 70th minute Mandragora’s left from the limit high. Goalkeepers g rpotagonists: in the 74th minute De Gea unbelievably deflects a shot by Theo Hernandez into a corner with his foot.

On 77′ De Gea again miraculously saves with his foot outside the box on Gimenez fired into the net. In the 83rd minute Dodò’s cross for Kean who smashes weakly with his header, Maignan parries and launches Theo Hernandez’s counter-attack that sends high.

Theo Hernandez’s shot is a good one.

In the 86th minute again Maignan makes a diving save on a right-footed shot by Kean. In the 89th minute the second goal cancelled out for the guests, this time for clear offside by Dodò. Five minutes of stoppage time, at the start of which Palladino was discharged for protests, did not break the tie, which despite a beautiful game by both favored Milan less in European terms.
