The first half was evenly matched, with Gabriel Strefezza providing a chance for Como, while Milan relied on Rafael Leão to create chances, but goalkeeper Butez made some crucial saves. After the break, coach Conceição made three changes, bringing on Jiménez, Musah and Abraham to add strength to the attack. However, Como took the lead first, thanks to a brilliant goal from Assane Diao, who scored on his home debut.
Milan reacted quickly: Théo Hernandez equalized with a volley from a corner kick, making him the top-scoring defender in Serie A, the only one to have scored 30 goals. Meanwhile, it was Leao who sealed the deal with a beautiful goal.
In the end, a great opportunity from Patrick Cutrone for Como, which was wasted, while Maignan made a great save.
