The game
The confrontation between the two teams had a lot of fighting, but few clear chances. The best opportunity in the first half was for Roma, in the 33rd minute, when Pellegrini received it from Spinazzola in the small area and had the chance to open the scoring. However, in the finalization, the ball hit Abraham, who involuntarily prevented his teammate’s goal.
In the second half, both teams loosened up more and managed to score at the end. Three minutes into stoppage time, Roma launched a counter-attack with Celik, who passed the ball to Abraham. The attacker hit cross, hitting the first finalization on goal in the game and leaving the home team in front of the scoreboard.
However, three minutes later, Milan managed to set the record straight again. Leão crossed from the left and Saelemaekers appeared on the second stick to kick and tie the confrontation at the end of the lights.
