Milan started 2023 with a victory over Salernitana. Rafael Leao and Sandro Tonali scored early in the match, substitutes Charles De Ketelaere and Aster Vranckx took the win: 1-2.
Salernitana fired eagerly into the new year and put pressure on Milan. The champion, with the recovered Alexis Saelemaekers in the starting line-up, had difficulty defending, but also got a lot of space.
Rafael Leao missed a first chance, but when he was sent off by Tonali after 10 minutes, he took Salernitana keeper Ochoa to graze. For the third year in a row, the Portuguese is Milan’s first goalscorer of the year.
Tonali took on the role of finisher a little later. His first shot was saved, but by his second attempt, Ochoa had no recourse on his debut in Salerno. Ochoa therefore had to give in quickly 2 times, but then played strong.
Ochoa keeps De Ketelaere from first goal for Milan
Because Milan failed to increase the score: Diaz and Hernandez before half-time and Giroud after half-time lost big chances or found Ochoa on their way. He also encountered substitute Charles De Ketelaere.
Our compatriot eagerly came in with some good actions and was kept from his first goal for Milan twice by Ochoa. Nevertheless, Rafael Leao was a bit resentful about De Ketelaere’s choices on two occasions.
In the end, things got tense after substitute Bonazzoli’s 1-2 (forgotten by Saelemaekers at the far post), but Milan held on, partly due to the hard work of substitute Vranckx. This way it stays somewhat in the wake of leader Napoli, who will visit Inter tonight.
