The fifth round in Serie A tonight (Monday) provided a big game between AC Milan and Roma at San Siro, at the end of which the teams parted ways in a 3-3 draw.
Milan lose points for the first time this season in the league, but are still first in the table with 13 points.
Rome in 9th place with 8 points.
Less than 2 minutes into the match, Zlatan Ibrahimovic continued to stifle them, however, as he made the save look easy.
The Swede received a great pass from Rafael Leo and with a touch set up a fifth goal in Serie A this season.
In the 14th minute a corner kick picked up by Pellegrini reached the head of Edin Dzeko who went over everyone and slammed in Roma's equalizer (1: 1 at the half).
As in the opening of the game, also in the rise of the Rossoneri came out of the locker room in a storm, and in the 47th minute Alexis Salmakers returned the advantage to the host after another cooking by Leo (1: 2).
This is where Judge Giacomli's horror show began.
It opened with a strange whistle for Pendel in favor of Roma after a foul by Ismail Benasser, which Jordan Verto translated into another equalizer (72).
But the referee decided to return to Milan with a penalty of her own, and only for Pedro's offense.
Zlatan Dyke from the penalty spot (80), returned the lead for the third time to Rossoneri with a double, raising his tally to six goals in 3 appearances.
Did you think it was over?
Not yet.
Verto picked up a corner from the left, the ball coming to the pre-combo that set up a 3: 3 (84) tie, a result that was maintained until the end.
