If they treat Ligue 1 fans to the crazy Olympico between OM and OL, Italian football fans have a Milan derby that should not be missed. With Mike Maignan back in goal, AC Milan won against Inter (2-1) and relieved their coach Paulo Fonseca, under pressure, during the 5th day of the Italian championship.
Five days after his defeat at home in the Champions League against Liverpool (3-1), AC Milan was not favored by the forecasts for this 240th edition, in all competitions, of the Milan derby. But he had a better start and finished better than Inter. American Christian Pulisic gave the Rossoneri the lead in the 10th minute by running into the penalty area and over four Inter players.
Gabbia saves AC Milan
At length, Inter finally came to their senses: the reigning champion was equalized thanks to Federico Dimarco (27th) launched into the Milan area by the opening from Lautaro Martinez. In the 89th minute, Matteo Gabbia gave Milan the win with a header.
Thanks to the second win this season, AC Milan returned to 7th place with eight points and ended Inter’s series of six consecutive derby wins. He also gave his coach some rest while a defeat would have meant his dismissal three months after his arrival.
After the first defeat of the season, Inter, who had won their 20th league title during the previous derby in April, fell to 6th place (8 pts), three lengths behind the surprising leader, Torino.
