Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: AC Milan gets underway.
  • 5' AC Milan are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined AS Roma backline.
  • 10' Davide Santon is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for AC Milan tonight.
  • 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 20' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 25' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Gennaro Gattuso will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 30' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 35' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 40' Franck Kessie doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 45' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 46' AS Roma manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Stephan El Shaarawy is hanging Marcano on the field on 46 minute.
  • 51' It looks surprising AS Roma does not make any changes. Kostas Manolas has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 56' AC Milan have won 600 goals from 515 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 59' Federico Fazio has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 59 minutes.
  • 64' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 68' AS Roma ring the changes. Javier Pastore has done his job and it is now time for Bryan Cristante to step up.
  • 73' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 76' The AC Milan manager makes a substitution. Ricardo Rodriguez departs to be replaced by Diego Laxalt.
  • 77' Bryan Cristante is having his name booked by the referee on 77.
  • 77' AS Roma manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Davide Santon is hanging Rick Karsdorp on the field on 77 minute.
  • 81' Time for substitution for AC Milan. Hakan Calhanoglu is replaced by Samu Castillejo.
  • 84' Patrick Cutrone is ready to make an impact after coming on for Giacomo Bonaventura at the 84 minute mark.
  • 88' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Daniele De Rossi.
  • 90' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Patrick Cutrone makes it 2-1.
  • AC Milan celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
