ROSSONERI WIN IN COMO | OneFootball

AC Milan get back to winning ways in Serie A with a 3-1 victory over Como in their rearranged matchday 16 fixture. Despite a rocky start, with Kempf opening the scoring in the tenth minute, the Rossoneri reacted and came from behind to claim all three points. Nkunku equalised from the penalty spot on the stroke of half-time, whle Rabiot (the star of the show) scored a second-half brace to keep AC Milan in second place. The Rossoneri now have 43 points, three behind leaders Inter. Furthermore, the win takes our unbeaten run to 19 league games.

Our boys dug deep in the second half and were clinical when it mattered. After Como took the lead, the Rossoneri held their nerve, aided by a string of great saves by Maignan, especially to deny Da Cunha and Paz. After the break, AC Milan showed great character, and Rabiot made it 2-1 in the 55th minute before finishing it off in the 88th. It's an important win, away at a tough ground. Next up, we host Lecce at San Siro on Sunday night.

MATCH REPORT The first half began with Como taking the lead in the 10th minute, thanks to Baturina's assist for Kempf's header. AC Milan struggled to find spaces and gaps, but grew into the game with the passing of time. In the 22nd minute, Fofana forced Butez into a save with a shot from outside of the box. Como, however, were playing better, attacking the spaces well and testing Maignan twice: first with Paz from the edge of the box in the 24th minute, and then with a header from Da Cunha in the 40th. In the 43rd minute, a foul by Kempf on Rabiot earned AC Milan a penalty, converted by Nkunku: the first half ended 1-1.

In the second half, AC Milan started strongly and in the 55th minute Rabiot completed the comeback with a left-footed half-volley to finish off a perfect counterattack, thanks to a fine assist from Leão. Como tried to react, but Maignan confidently denied efforts from Paz and Caqueret. Allegri made strategic substitutions, bringing on Füllkrug and Ricci to add freshness to the team. In the 88th minute, Rabiot sealed the result with a powerful shot from outside the box, completing his brace. In the closing stages, Como went all out, but the Rossoneri defence held firm. The match ended 1-3 to AC Milan, who came away victorious from a tricky away trip.
