Two changes for Milan
Divock Origi and Malick Thiaw come on instead of Kjaer and Saelemaekers. Milan will try to come back to the score!
Kjaer faster than Martinez
Dzeko performs a huge match while being very sure technically and he finds his partner Martinez with his eyes closed! The Argentinian tries a big bridge on Kjaer but the Dane is the fastest.
MAIGNAN PUSHES DOWN DZEKO!
Maignan has just kept AC Milan alive! Bastoni is not attacked and progresses without being worried, the Italian defender gives perfectly to Dzeko who strikes with the left foot! It is deviated by the foot of Maignan!
MESSIAS MAKES A MISTAKE OF ONANA!
What a magnificent opening from Tonali in depth between three Inter players! The ball arrives at Messias who rolls up a shot… Right next to it!
BRAHIM DIAZ NOT FAR FROM THE FRAME!
Very active in the first period, Brahim Diaz can change the course of a match and that’s what he’s trying! His shot from afar grazes Onana’s post!
Giroud sanctioned
Free kick for Milan shot at the far post towards Giroud who commits a fault in a duel with Dumfries!
INTER MILAN LEADS BY TWO GOALS AT THE BREAK!
It’s the break at San Siro! Thanks to a thunderous start to the match, Inter Milan leads 2-0 against AC Milan! Pioli’s players conceded two goals from Dzeko and Mkhitaryan between the 10th and 16th minute due to a very passive defense. In commitment and aggressiveness, the Nerazzurri are above.
4 more minutes
The central referee has just granted 4 minutes of additional time while Krunic takes a yellow for protest.
Mkhitaryan also picked up a yellow card.
Milan en domination
Calabria is taking its lane more and more and sending some well-felt crosses! For the moment, the Acerbi-Bastoni hinge is keeping watch.
Theo too virulent sur Dumfries
As soon as Dumfries has the ball, Denzel Dumfries is punished by the French defender who has a dispute with him!
Giroud weaned from balloons
Olivier Giroud is not having the best evening of his life with very few balls to use. He’s starting to freak out!
LAUTARO NOT FAR FROM THE FRAME!
The AC Milan defense is in agony with one shot after another! Dimarco is countered but it comes back to Lautaro Martinez who hits half-volley but it’s above!
PENALTY CANCELLED!
The referee will see if Kjaer really knocks Lautaro down and finally cancels the penalty! No card for the Argentinian, Maignan asked for it.
PENALTY FOR INTER!
Huge mistake by Simon Kjaer which benefits Lautaro Martinez! The Argentinian enters the area and has his jersey pulled by Kjaer! Penalty for the referee!
The heel of Calabria!
Overflow from Junior Messias who crosses hard at the first post! Calabria pops up and lands a subtle backheel that ends up in Andre Onana’s side netting!
Bastoni is boiling
Alessandro Bastoni is hot this evening, he is looking for Giroud and Brahim Diaz in turn with heads against heads. The referee calls him to order!
Milan wants to put the danger
Good free kick to follow for Milan which is gradually returning to the opposing camp. Tonali crosses to the near post but it’s sent off!
Dzeko does not fit
Still in good shots, Dzeko finds himself in the box and tries a sudden strike! It is way above!
Dzeko in a big night
At 37, Edin Dzeko shows the full extent of his talent with a small bridge and acceleration in the center of the field! He tries to throw Lautaro Martinez but it’s countered.
Inter a notch above
In involvement, aggressiveness and precision, Inter Milan is in total domination. Tonali fakes a foul before the surface friends the referee doesn’t flinch.
Bennacer is going out, alert for Maignan
Hard blow for Milan with the premature exit of Ismael Bennacer, replaced by Junior Messias! Mike Maignan seems to complain about his foot but will keep his place.
THE POST AND MAIGNAN INTERPOSE!
What a monstrous strike from Calhanoglu which ends on the post of Maignan! The ball comes back to Mkhitaryan who hits on goal, but Maignan diverts!
Two Milanese fall for a corner
On an AC Milan corner, Giroud and Saelemaekers fall after duels with Acerbi and Bastoni. No fault for the referee!
THE BUUUUUT OF INTER IS EXTRAORDINARY!
But what about Milan? Incredible action from Inter with a tumble from Dimarco who crosses at the entrance to the area! Mkhitaryan emerges, overtakes Tonali and ends the action with a shot under the bar! 2 to 0, Inter is on cloud nine!
DZEEEEKOOOOO FOR THE OPENING OF THE SCORE!
1 to 0 for Inter Milan thanks to the goal of veteran Edin Dzeko (37 years old)! Dimarco’s corner at the penalty spot for Dzeko’s surprise volley with his left foot! It’s under the bar, Maignan is beaten!
Big atmosphere in San Siro
The atmosphere is quite crazy at the San Siro stadium, the sound never goes down! Free kick for Inter taken by Dimarco and it will be a corner!
No strong possession yet
The two teams fail to hold the ball in these first minutes, which gives a very choppy game.
Theo with the l’impact
The first contacts are already very vigorous with in particular Theo Hernandez who comes to destabilize Dumfries.
