Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Lille OSC gets underway.

- 12' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Jeremy Pied.
- 17' A quiet spell here at Stade Pierre-Mauroy. Lille OSC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 22' Supporters expect more eagerness from Gianluigi Donnarumma, as he is very good at scoring at Stade Pierre-Mauroy with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 27' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

- 33' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.

- 45' A moment of madness from Ismael Bennacer on 45 minutes earns him a Yellow card. AC Milan will be frustrated.
- 46' A stunning finish from Samu Castillejo — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 51' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Stefano Pioli will be considering his options from the bench.
- 56' Jonathan Bamba needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 28 Yellow cards this season.

- 63' The supporters are chanting for Jonathan Ikone. He replaces Yusuf Yazici on 63 minute.
