👑 Modric stunner, Allegri and Milan shine, Fullkrug penalty nightmare | OneFootball

Milan secures three hugely important points at the end of a nail-biting match that went down to the wire, decided by the endless class of the 2018 Ballon d'Or winner, Luka Modric, who created the play that sealed the Rossoneri's victory.

Milan takes the lead in the 39th minute with Loftus-Cheek, who heads in Athekame's cross after a move started by Modric. In the second half, Rabiot scores in the 47th minute, but VAR disallows it for a handball by Fullkrug; shortly after, the German himself misses a penalty, hitting the post. Missed goal, conceded goal: Pisa takes advantage and in the 71st minute equalizes through Loyola, who benefits from a short clearance by Pavlovic.

In the 85th minute, Modric steps up: a quick one-two with Ricci, a central run, and an outside-of-the-foot finish makes it 1-2, with Allegri going wild on the bench. In the final minutes, Rabiot is sent off for a second yellow card, but the result doesn't change: 23rd consecutive positive result, the longest unbeaten streak in the top five European leagues, and temporarily just five points behind Inter.

🔚 It ends like this: 23rd positive result for Milan, 1st in Europe!

The match is brought home by Milan, now unbeaten in 23 matches: as explained by DAZN, this streak is the longest in the top five European leagues. The Rossoneri haven't lost since the match against Cremonese.

🟥 Rabiot sent off for double yellow: too many protests!

90'+ - Milan plays the final moments of the match outnumbered due to the sending off of Adrien Rabiot.

Already booked (he was one booking away from suspension and would have missed Milan-Como), the Frenchman continues to protest loudly towards Fabbri: the referee does not tolerate the attitude and shows him a second yellow, which inevitably becomes a red card.

⚽ Modric, one-two with Ricci and GOLAZO: Allegri unleashed!

85' - Ladies and gentlemen: only applause for the goal scored by the maestro Luka Modric, which gives Milan the 1-2 lead.

The play is worthy of the true champion he is. The Croatian takes control in the central area, exchanges quick passes with Ricci, and bursts into space, cutting through the defense. In front of Nicolas, he keeps his cool and beats him with a sensational right-footed outside touch.

Allegri's reaction is a masterclass: all his grit comes out after the Croatian's goal, as he's held back by his assistant Landucci. Just before, he had said: "to win these matches you need guts."

RANDOM STATS: Luka Modric (40 years and 157 days) is the third oldest player to score in Serie A after Alessandro Costacurta (41 years and 25 days) and Zlatan Ibrahimovic (41 years and 166 days).

⚽ Pisa equalizes: Loyola's FIRST goal in Serie A!

71' - Chance for a second goal wasted, Milan punished by Felipe Loyola's first goal in Serie A, the same player who had caused the penalty taken (and missed) by Fullkrug.

The Tuscans break through on the left wing and send a driven ball into the center: Pavlovic intervenes but his attempt to clear turns into an accidental assist for Loyola. The Pisa player finds himself one-on-one with Maignan and slots home the equalizer with a precise finish.

😱 Penalty on Pavlovic, Fullkrug misses: hits the post!

54' - Milan is awarded a clear penalty, for a foul (actually a "double" one, as highlighted by Luca Marelli in technical commentary on DAZN) by Loyola on Bartesaghi.

Fullkrug steps up to take the penalty, but shoots terribly: the German tries to fake, but Nicolas stays on his feet until the end and the shot is too angled: it hits the outside of the left post and the chance to double the lead is gone.

❌ Rabiot scores, disallowed for handball by Fullkrug

47' - Rabiot finds the net with a splendid left-footed volley that beats Nicolas, but the joy is short-lived. VAR calls Fabbri over for a handball by Füllkrug in the build-up to the assist: after review, the referee cancels the goal.

🔄 Nkunku off for Fullkrug: tactical change?

46' - Milan returns to the pitch with a change: Fullkrug comes on for Nkunku. Allegri's move seems tactical, but we await confirmation. 

⚽ Loftus-Cheek UNLOCKS Pisa-Milan: header goal!

39' - Milan moves the ball quickly, switching play from left to right until Modric releases Athekame. The winger's cross is precise and whipped in, perfect for Loftus-Cheek's run: the Englishman rises unchallenged just a few steps from goal and beats Nicolas, giving the Rossoneri the lead.

RANDOM STATS: between the 31st and 60th minute, Milan is the team that scores the most goals in Serie A: with Loftus-Cheek's, the tally rises to 19 goals. Pisa, on the other hand, has conceded 19 goals in the first half in 25 matches, only Torino (20) has more in this Serie A season.

😴 30' gone and only chance for Stojilkovic: denied by Maignan

The only highlight in the first thirty minutes comes from Pisa's striker, who faces Maignan but the French goalkeeper somehow keeps out the shot.

🗣 Allegri on Leao, Pulisic and the standings

Before the kickoff of Pisa-Milan, Max Allegri speaks to DAZN: "Arrive at the derby at least five points behind? We need to get as many points as possible for our goal and then we'll see. Inter is a team that moves fast, tonight will be a tough, serious match with great respect for us. We need to play very well technically, with very precise passing. They are very physical, we need to defend crosses well. Matches are won on the pitch."

"Leao is much better, I was unsure whether to play him until the end. Pulisic will have 15/20 minutes, we have a good bench and so far those who have come on during the match have always done well."
