Milan 3-1 Roma: “Rossoneri” dominance against mistakes made by Mourinho’s players

Milan took on Roma in a decimated way, but scored a great win with them 3-1 for the 20th game of Serie A, which brings it close to breathing for the champions Inter (who did not play against Bologna).

The “Rossoneri” only took the lead in the 8th minute with a penalty from Olivier Giroud and in the 17th minute Junior Messias made it 2-0. The game had a rhythm and the Roma took the lead when they stopped making unforgivable mistakes in the backcourt. Mike Menian became the protagonist with some formidable interventions but couldn’t do anything in the 40 ‘when Tami Ibrahim changed the direction of a shot by Lorenzo Pellegrini to reduce the score.

In the second half, when there was a lot of nerve and some conflict, Jose Mourinho’s players showed a much better picture, threatening Milan home twice, but Menian turned out to be a great day. The entry of Rafael Leao gave the home team pace from the left, which they took advantage of in 74 ‘. Rick Carsdorp received a second yellow card on one attempt from Theo Hernandez and everything seemed to be decided.

With one player up, Milan was superior, had a crossbar with a foul by Alessandro Florenzi in the dismissal phase and in 82 ‘Leao took the ball from Chris Smalling’s chase and scored 3-1. The only black mark for Stefano Pioli’s team is the penalty that Rui Patricio scored in the delay against Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
