At 1:30 Beijing time on January 18, the 22nd round of Serie A continued, and Theo Hernandez conceded a penalty in the first half, and Rafael Leo single-handedly shot at the goal. In the second half, Agudero equalized, Messias scored and was blown, Giuëi scored in the 94th minute, and AC Milan was reversed 1-2! After Inter overturned, AC Milan was even more upset and continued to rank second, 2 points away from the top of the table.
Before this match, Inter's 0-0 draw with Atalanta ended their eight-game winning streak, which also gave AC Milan hope that as long as they win this round, they will push their city rivals back to the top of the table.
In the 41st minute, Spezia's ball was out of bounds and goalkeeper Proveldell made a mistake and brought Raphael Leo to the ground. After VAR verification, AC Milan won the penalty.
In the 44th minute, Teoc Hernandez slipped at his feet and kicked the penalty straight out of bounds.
In the 45th minute, Clunic's long pass from the back, Raphael Leo seized on the opponent to break the mistake, calmly picked the shot in the box, AC Milan still broke the deadlock, 1-0!
After entering 2022, Raphael Leo was in a hot state, contributing 3 goals and 2 assists in all competitions, participating in 5 goals, and ranking first in the five major leagues in the same period.
Easy side to fight again, AC Milan still has a lot of opportunities to expand the score. In the 55th minute, Salle Markles' direct pass from the right rib was deflected off the side of Ibrahimovic's penalty area.
In the 56th minute, Raphael Leo swept a low cross from the left and Salmales pushed it, but it was saved by the opposing goalkeeper with his legs outstretched.
After consecutive missed opportunities, AC Milan was "punished" by their opponents. In the 62nd minute, Spezia played a tacit match, Bastoni directly blocked, Verder crossed from the left, and substitute Agudlo won the game, and the score became 1-1!
Since then, Pioli has made consecutive substitutions, with Olivier Giroud, Calabria and Rebić making their debuts one by one, and AC Milan has produced a two-centre-forward lineup to attack the opponent. In the 92nd minute, Rebic headed straight in and Messias' left-footed shot from inside the penalty area hit the dead corner. However, the referee took the lead and decided that Rebic was fouled first and the goal was invalid.
In the 93rd minute, Ibrahimovic's header hit the crossbar, and in the 95th minute, Kovalenko crossed, Andie pushed back to complete the whistle-pressing kill, and completed a C Ronaldo celebration, AC Milan fell down.
After the whole game, AC Milan had 60% of the ball and only 40% of the opponent. What is even more exaggerated is that AC Milan completed 25 shots on goal, and the opponent only had 10, which was crushed on the scene.
However, AC Milan's forward line is almost a collective sleepwalk, the whole team is not in shape, swallowing the bitter fruit of being reversed, and being avenged by the relegation team.
As a result, the top two in Serie A collectively braked, and AC Milan not only did not regain the top of the table, but also trailed the top two points. At the same time, Napoli beat Bologna to rise to third place, and AC Milan was only 2 points ahead of the opponent.
