At San Siro stadium, AC Milan started the match not easily against Torino - a team that has been in stable form recently. After many tit-for-tat situations, the home team took the lead in the 36th minute thanks to Pavlovic's beautiful long-range shot. However, Torino quickly brought the match back to balance when Giovanni Simeone took advantage of the opportunity to volley and score an equalizing goal before halftime.
In the second half, AC Milan increased the pressure and re-established the advantage in the 54th minute with Rabiot's close-range tap-in after Pulisic's favorable cross. Just one minute later, Fofana increased the score to 3-1, helping the San Siro home team create a safe distance.
However, Torino did not give up. Vlasic narrowed the gap to 2-3 from the penalty spot in the 83rd minute after a controversial situation in the penalty area. The final minutes of the match were tense, but AC Milan still maintained an important victory to continue to nurture hope in the leading group race.
Meanwhile, in Turin, Juventus is expected to win all 3 points against Sassuolo to maintain an advantage in the top 4 competition. The home team soon had the opening goal in the 14th minute by Yildiz after a quick ball deployment from goalkeeper Perin.
However, Sassuolo showed resilience when equalizing at the end of the first half thanks to a combination between Pinamonti and Berardi. In the second half, Juventus created many clear chances but could not take advantage of them successfully. The most regrettable was the situation where Locatelli missed a penalty in the 84th minute when he could not beat goalkeeper Muric - who had an excellent match with many important saves.
The draw caused Juventus to drop a regrettable point in the race for a European cup spot next season, while AC Milan with 63 points after 30 matches continues to chase the leading position of Inter Milan.
