Serie A: despite a goal from Giroud, AC Milan sinks at Monza

AC Milan missed the opportunity to dislodge Juventus Turin from 2nd place in the Italian Championship standings, losing 4-2 at Monza on Sunday at the end of the 25th day.

Before the return play-off to reach the round of 16 of the Europa League in Rennes on Thursday, Milan, winner 3-0 of the first play-off, started the match without its executives, Rafael Leao, Christian Pulisic and Olivier Giroud, spared. In this second configuration, the Lombard club experienced a nightmarish first sixty minutes.

He conceded two goals, including one from the penalty spot after a rash tackle by Malick Thiaw, at the end of the first period (45th and 45th 6th) then found himself outnumbered after the exclusion of Luka Jovic for hitting a player. Monza (54th). So much so that Milan coach Stefano Pioli had to start Leao, Pulisic and Giroud. The top scorer in the history of the France team, served by Pulisic, quickly revived his team with his 12th goal of the season (64th).

Pulisic thought he would offer his team a long-unexpected point by equalizing (88th). But the young Frenchman Warren Bondo gave Monza the advantage again with a superb 20-metre recovery (90th), then Lorenzo Colombo added a fourth goal in added time. AC Milan, which remained in nine matches without defeat (seven wins and two draws) remains 3rd (52 pts), two points from Juventus and far from the leader, Inter (63 pts).
