REPORT OF THE MATCH - Goals Kalulu and Pobega, then Ibanez in the 87th minute and Abraham 2-2 in added time (ANSA)


Six minutes that change a game.

Six minutes - from 87' to 93' - which throw Milan into despair, guilty of having squandered the double advantage and now again seven points away from Napoli, hooked up by Juve.

Thanks to a cynical and ruthless Roma who failed to build scoring chances until the 87th minute, then shortened and finally equalized in added time by making two dead balls concrete. 

THE CHRONICLE OF THE MATCH

He was the workhorse of the Giallorossi and Milan fell into the trap of Mourinho's team.

Roma collects the maximum, without being beautiful, indeed showing many gaps in the setting phase.

Mourinho will have to reinvent the defense against Fiorentina because Mancini and Ibanez, warned, have been booked for protests.

But for now he is enjoying the good news from the big match.

Ibanez first finds the 2-1 with a header, then knocks out Tatarusanu - always with a header - in the occasion of the 2-2 then capitalized by Abraham with his foot.

It is the fifth goal of the season for him, a fundamental goal to build confidence after a disappointing season so far.

Milan, on the other hand, will have to reflect on the mistakes they made.

The goals conceded are starting to be a problem, Giroud once again fails to mark the scoresheet,

unlocks a Kalulu defender on a corner from Tonali - absent against Lecce due to the yellow card remedied under a warning - and then doubles Pobega on an assist from Leao.

The father of the Portuguese was spotted at the San Siro and will discuss the renewal with the Rossoneri management in the coming days.

But Pioli also expects good news from the infirmary.

It's very difficult to manage such an intense month without replacements up to par.

And now those three points recovered at Napoli last Wednesday have almost completely faded away.

A pity for the Rossoneri who never suffered, at least until the 87th minute.

Leao is a difficult client for Cristante and Mancini and Milan keep the ball in the game without building clear chances.

at 29'

Brahim Diaz's first shot from distance arrives as he tries to score after a good action by the Rossoneri.

However, the Spaniard's shot was too central and Rui Patricio deflected over the crossbar.

But the goal that unlocks the game was born from the ensuing corner: Tonali kicks from the flag and Kalulu frees himself from Ibanez's marking and finds the 1-0 with his header.

At the start of the second half, Mourinho's team tried to be more enterprising but with poor results and Milan also doubled their lead.

The seal puts it by Pobega, who took over from Bennacer a few minutes ago.

Assist by Leao and excellent movement by Giroud who takes away two defenders.

The 2-0 seems to give Roma a shock, so much so that in the 87th minute they shorten the distance with Ibanez heading in a corner kick.

And in the third minute of added time,

another free kick with a header from Ibanez, Tatarusanu rejects and Abraham repeats the goal.

Merit of a Rome that waits and collects itself by taking advantage of the opponent's oversights.

Demerit of a Milan that makes too many mistakes for a team that wants to raise the Scudetto.
