Sent to the bench, Olivier Giroud scored after coming into play but AC Milan, 10 against 11, ended up losing at Monza (4-2) on Sunday evening.
The 25th day of Serie A put a dent in the title race. The suspense was already very slim, but Inter Milan now has nine and eleven points more than Juventus and AC Milan. And this, with one match less! The Milanese could have overtaken the Bianconeri, but they lost their derby in Monza (4-2) on Sunday evening, despite a new goal from Olivier Giroud.
Three days after the 3-0 victory against Stade Rennais in the Europa League, Stefano Pioli decided to relegate Olivier Giroud to the sidelines (for only the second time this season in the league). The Rossoneri were unrecognizable and the Biancorossi scored two goals at the end of the first period by Matteo Pessina from the penalty spot (45th) and Dany Mota (45th + 6).
Jovic, the scandalous gesture
AC Milan was then completely weighed down by Luka Jovic, who was sent off for a completely unnecessary slap (53rd). But Giroud, who had just entered the game, got his team back on track (64th) – for his 12th goal in Serie A this season. Better, as regulation time approached, Christian Pulisic equalized with a nice left-footed shot (88th).
This Lombard meeting was decidedly crazy since Monza regained the advantage thanks to Warren Bondo in the 90th minute, with a shot beyond the reach of Mike Maignan, before a fourth goal from Lorenzo Colombo, the 21-year-old striker on loan from AC Milan (90th+6). Monza is a quiet 11th.
