The Derby della Madonnina ended tied

The Derby della Madonnina ended 1-1 between Milan and Inter at San Siro. Hakan Calhanoglu put the Nerazzurro ahead of the penalty, Stefan de Vrij equalized with a goal against and Lautaro Martínez ruined a shot from twelve steps.

While they were still settling in at the San Siro, Franck Kessie fouled inside the box, the referee charged a penalty and Calhanoglu executed with precision against his former team to open the scoring. The Rossonero reacted quickly and achieved equality with some fortune, as De Vrij headed the ball against his own goal after a free kick taken by Sandro
Tonali from the right.

The match judge again marked the maximum penalty for the Nerazzurro for a foul by Fode Ballo Touré at 25 ‘. This time Calhanoglu did not take charge of the shot, the one who caught the ball was Lautaro and finished across the post, but Ciprian Tatarusanu stretched with his whole body to cover the shot and maintain equality.

The team led by Simone Inzaghi continued attacking until the end of the first half and had the best chances before the break: Ballo Touré saved a shot from Nicolo Barella on the line and Lautaro defined a deflection after a perfect assist from Edin Dzeko.

Pioli made three modifications in the first quarter of an hour of the second half: Pierre Kalulu entered for Ballo Touré, Alexis Saelemaekers replaced Brahim Díaz and Ante Rebic replaced Rafael Leao. Inzaghi, more satisfied with the performance of his team, only changed Barella due to injury for the entry of Arturo Vidal, who had an unbeatable chance with the ball in motion at the penalty spot, but his shot was miraculously saved by a defender.

Argentine Joaquín Correa entered through Dzeko to accompany his compatriot in the last quarter of the match, and then Lautaro left his place to Alexis Sánchez. However, the clearest chances in the final stretch were for Milan with a free kick by Zlatan Ibrahimovic that Samir Handanovic blocked and a shot on the post by Alexis Saelemaekers.

The score was tied until the end and they distributed points at the San Siro. The result seems to be better for Rossonero, who remains at the top of the Serie A table alongside Napoli with 32 points.
