Cagliari 0 – Milan 1: Visitors steal the show at Unipol Domus
AC Milan’s 1-0 win over Cagliari on Saturday, was hard fought at Unipol Domus. Cagliari arrived at the game looking pick up points after losing their last game 2-0 to Spezia Calcio whilst Milan were hoping to increase their winning streak after back-to-back victories against Empoli and Napoli. As the table looks today, Cagliari and Milan currently occupy 17th and 1st spots in the table, with 25 points and 66 points respectively after 30 matches.
After an un-eventful first half, Milan continued to apply pressure in the second and were rewarded, thanks to a goal from Ismael Bennacer, 59 minutes in, leaving the final score at 1-0.
For Cagliari, Alessandro Deiola, Gabriele Zappa, Gaston Pereiro and Keita Balde, came on for Babis Lykogiannis, Dalbert, Raoul Bellanova and Alberto Grassi. Milan brought on Ante Rebic, Rade Krunic, Alexis Saelemaekers and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, to replace Rafael Leao, Brahim Diaz, Junior Messias and Olivier Giroud.
The referee booked Raoul Bellanova for Cagliari.
Cagliari will next travel to Udinese, while Milan will face Bologna at home.
