AC Milan 1-0 Torino FC
But : Olivier Giroud (62e) for the Milanese.
Phew!
As a curtain raiser for this 22e day, AC Milan is reached to impose oneself in pain 1-0 face au Torino. The band of Lion ends a streak of seven games without a win in a meeting that did not start in the best of ways.
Nothingness. How else to qualify the first period of the Milan ? During the first 45 minutes, the Rossoneri did not offer anything, unable to come out of their own half of the field. The Torino quickly took control of the match, dictated the rhythm by multiplying the long offensive sequences, but was unable to concretize this domination. Only sanabria in the twentieth minute of play managed to send a shiver through San Siro. Reason for hope on the Milan side: the defense put in a solid performance. Not enough however for the red and black tifosi who decided to accompany their team to the locker room under the whistles.
Hard to do worse than this first act. THE Rossoneri will return to the pitch with other intentions. Without being sparkling, the men of Pegs show themselves to be more enterprising, like these two major opportunities for Lion et Giroud within two minutes (54e et 56e). If the Turin porter Milinković-Savić managed to disgust the Lombard attackers, the latter are going finally find the fault. And who else but Olivier Giroud to deliver his own on a cross from Théo Hernandez (1-062e). A realization 100% cock-a-doodle Doo. Dominated by a brave team of Torino who sinned in the last 25 meters, Milan snatch a precious success (1-0) and takes temporarily the third place. The Torino always remains seventh in the ranking.
Tottenham have been warned.
