Charles De Ketelaere almost got to celebrate his first goal in the AC Milan shirt. Almost, because our compatriot was offside and saw the VAR put a stop to it.
Fortunately for Milan, Messias had already opened the score after a smooth combination. At halftime, the visitors seemed to have everything under control, after halftime that was slightly less the case.
It started with a red card for Rafael Leao. He attempted a bicycle kick, but hit his opponent in the process. Result: two yellow cards and a tough assignment for his teammates.
They gave up on Sampdoria, who suddenly believed in his chances. Djuricic equalized, Milan already felt the mood.
After a corner kick, the Italian champion was awarded a penalty. Olivier Giroud remained icy calm and converted the eleven meter. Good for three points and a furious coach with the opponent, although AC got away well in the final phase.
Aster Vranckx made his debut for Milan in that slot. The Belgian was allowed to show up 13 minutes before time and stood his ground against the burly relegation candidate.
