Despite the expulsion of Fikayo Tomori, AC Milan disposed of AS Roma this Friday, opening the third day of the Italian championship.
AC Milan, reduced to ten per hour of play, signed their third victory in as many matches of the Italian Championship 2023-24 by winning on the field of AS Roma (2-1), Friday. Leader before the kick-off of the 3rd day, AC Milan consolidated its status and its ambitions with a first goal from the 9th minute on penalty, thanks to Olivier Giroud, his fourth of the season.
The Milanese could have doubled the mark in the 21st minute on an opening from Théo Hernandez taken over by Christian Pulisic, but a reflex save from Rui Patricio delayed the deadline. Upon returning from the locker room, Rafael Leao concretized the clear superiority of his team with an acrobatic recovery (48th). The exclusion of Fikayo Tomori, after a second warning (60th), woke up the Olympic Stadium which ignited ten minutes later for the first steps in the Roma jersey of Romelu Lukaku, on loan this week from Chelsea.
Spinazzola saves honor
But the Belgian striker, whose last match dated back to mid-June, could not relaunch his new team, deprived for this match of the Argentinian Paulo Dybala. It was Leonardo Spinazzola (90 + 2nd) who saved the honor with a long shot deflected by a Milan defender. After three matches, including two at home, AS Roma only pocketed one point (18th).
