CAGLIARI (ITALPRESS) – Just a goal of the returning Leao to Milan to expel the field of Cagliari. After a first colorless time, it is the Portuguese network in the start of shooting to launch the seven times European champions towards a victory that is worth the momentary head of the ranking.
After not even two minutes, Estupiñan is surprised behind the Palestra that enters the area and goes to the shooting, but his right is too crushed and ends on the side. The hosts prefer and get several shots from the flag, but they fail to puncture against an opponent particularly subtone at this stage. At 32′, Adopo fits well but hits too centrally in the head, without being able to take advantage of a good Esposito cross from the left. In full recovery, Rodríguez commits penalty in the area on Loftus-Check but is not granted for a previous Leao outage. You go to rest on 0-0. In the start of the shoot, Leao centered the cross with a right-round but the action is “annullata” from the guardline who then saw a ball previously exited at the bottom. Guests leave strong and at 5′ pass in advantage.
Rabiot exploits a precise verticalization of Fofana and serves to trailer Leao, which adjusts the ball on the left and transfixes Caprile for 1-0. At the 24′, there is room for the red-black debut of the newly purchased Fullkrug. The team trained by Pisacane does not react and, despite the turn of change, can no longer hold Maignan. At 42′, a good combination between Fullkrug and Pulisic brings to the conclusion the American, but his left is stopped in corner from Caprile. Three minutes later, Modric kicks a surprise ground punishment on which Caprile intervenes to avoid worse trouble. In the final, Allegri’s men manage the advantage well and put the result in the safe.
Thanks to these three points, Milan climbs up at 38 altitude waiting for the other matches. Cagliari remains at the fourteenth place with 18 points per activity.
