2021-01-03T19:43:47.532Z


Author of an excellent start to the season, AC Milan won at Benevento this Sunday and remains leader of Serie A.


AC Milan, even without Ibrahimovic, even at ten for an hour, even under pressure from Inter Milan, found the resources to win at Benevento (2-0) and preserve his leader's chair, three days of his clash against Juventus.

The goal obtained in the 15th minute thanks to a penalty snatched by Ante Rebic and transformed by Franck Kessié (15th) did not weigh heavily when the Rossoneri found themselves at ten, after the exclusion of Sandro Tonali (34th) .

But Gianluigi Donnarumma, saved by his post on a strike from Roberto Insigne (20th), stepped up decisive interventions to defend the Milan advantage.

And Rafael Leao, on the other hand, speeded up Benevento goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipo to double the bet at the start of the second half (49th) of a clever pivot lob that Ibrahimovic would not have denied, absent due to injury since the end. November.

The Milanese unbeaten in 27 matches in Serie A

Enough to disgust the team of ex-Milanese "Pippo" Inzaghi, who in vain multiplied the hot situations in front of the Rossoneri cage and even missed a penalty, sent aside by Gianluca Caprari (61st).

AC Milan, which also touched the post at the end of the match (Kessié, 84th), is now unbeaten for 27 consecutive matches in the league.

On Wednesday, Juventus will arrive at San Siro to test the strength of Stefano Pioli's young team.
