Milan overturns Torino with a super Pulisic and doesn’t give up on Napoli but there is anxiety about Leao

At the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, AC Milan beat the host Granata 3-2 in the last match of the 14th day of Serie A and remains at the top of the standings along with Napoli. Torino took the lead in the 10th minute with Vlasic, who with a low shot beat Maignan, who touched the ball but failed to clear it. The doubling in the 17th minute: Tameze set off Vlasic on a counterattack, who, having reached the edge of the area, stretches for Zapata, the Colombian firing a very strong shot at the second post with Maignan unable to do anything about it. In the 24th minute, the Rossoneri shortened the gap: Tomori passed horizontally to Rabiot, who controlled from 25 meters and fired a bolide that beat Israel.

In the second half, in the 67th minute the equalizer, thanks to the usual prize-winning Saelemaekers-Pulisic firm: cross by the Belgian for the American who with his left hand pierced Israel. In the 71′ goal cancelled out for Torino: cross by Vlasic, Saelemaekers tries to intercept but is fouled by Pedersen, the ball reaches Adams who scores but referee Chiffi cancels for Pedersen’s foul on Saelemaekers. In the 77th minute, the Rossoneri’s winning goal: Loftus-Cheek vertically for Ricci, cross from the back for Pulisic who with a left-footed counter-balance signed his personal double, arriving at 7 goals, hooking Lautaro Martinez at the top of the scorers’ table.

Milan, however, lost Rafael Leao around the half-hour mark of the first half, who had to leave the field due to a muscle problem in his right leg. Earlier in the day, the Portuguese had felt pain after a shot toward Israel’s goal: he touched himself in the groin area and was unable to continue, making way for Samuele Ricci. It remains to be seen how long Leao will have to stop: the Rossoneri will play on Sunday 14 against Sassuolo in the league and, a few days later, on Thursday 18, they will face Napoli in the semifinal of the Italian Super Cup scheduled at the King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Only the examinations that will be carried out in the coming days, probably as early as Tuesday, will be able to clarify for how long Massimiliano Allegri, who was not on the bench in Turin as he was disqualified, will not be able to dispose of the Lusitano.
