Despite being rated superior, the Milan representative played in a deadlock for most of the first half. It was not until the 39th minute that midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek broke the deadlock with the opening goal, helping the away team temporarily take the lead.
In the second half, Milan's game did not improve much. Notably, striker Niclas Fullkrug missed the opportunity to increase the gap when he unsuccessfully converted a penalty in the 56th minute. Wasting opportunities caused the red and black striped team to pay the price when Pisa equalized 1-1 by Arturo Loyola in the 71st minute.
In a context of great pressure, Luka Modric's experience continued to speak up at the right time. In the 85th minute, the Croatian midfielder scored an important goal, sealing a 2-1 victory for Milan.
The final minutes of the match were tense when Adrien Rabiot received a red card in injury time. However, Milan still maintained the score to return with all 3 points.
This victory helps AC Milan consolidate their 2nd position in the standings with 53 points after 24 matches, continuing to chase the leading team Inter Milan with a 5-point gap.
