Continuation of the 32nd day of Serie A this Sunday afternoon. In great danger for the descent, Sassuolo welcomed AC Milan, on their lawn at the Mapei Stadium. This meeting was special for the Rossoneri who wanted to turn around by relying on a revised eleven on the sidelines of the return match against AS Roma in the Europa League on Thursday, while Stefano Pioli’s players fell in the first leg at San Siro . This match got off to a flying start with two goals scored quickly by the Nerovderdi, dominating from the start thanks to Andrea Pinamonti (4th) and Armand Laurienté (10th). A few minutes later, it was star Rafael Leão (20th) who reduced the score, which promised a great second half. In the second act, the locals widened the gap with a double from the Frenchman, Laurienté (53rd).

But Luka Jovic managed to find the net to maintain Milan’s hope (59th). If Samuel Chukwueze thought he had equalized, his goal was finally canceled (64th). On the other hand, Noah Okafor took on the role of Sauveu at the end of the match to grab a point (3-3). In the standings, AC Milan consolidated its place on the podium in this Italian championship with this solid 2nd place, while Sassuolo is still in great danger in the red zone of Serie A with this 19th position. Next weekend, the Rossoneri will welcome Inter’s Milanese rival to the San Siro for a Derby della Madonnina which will smell like powder, while the Neroverdi will play at home again against Lecce, during the 33rd Italian matchday.
