Parma beats Milan at San Siro 1-0 with a goal by Troilo from a corner in the 80th minute: goal initially disallowed and then awarded after a 4-minute VAR review. It was a match in which Milan attacked, struggled to create clear chances in the first half, and pushed even harder in the second half, but couldn't find the net due to bad luck (hitting the post) and inaccuracy.
Milan loses for the first time after 24 consecutive positive results and remains at 54 points, 10 points behind Inter, who are running away at the top, and stays 8 points ahead of Juventus, who lost yesterday to Como. Parma moves up to 12th place with 32 points and secures their third consecutive win after victories over Bologna and Verona.
In the first half, Parma started well with two shots from Pellegrino, especially one that grazed the post. Shortly after, Loftus-Cheek collided with Corvi and was forced to leave on a stretcher (details here), but Milan still dominated the match and looked dangerous with Jashari and Pulisic, though they failed to create any clear-cut chances.
At the start of the second half, Milan attacked and only Troilo saved a shot on an open goal from Pulisic, which came after a deflection between Corvi and Leao (with a probable foul by the Milan striker). Ten minutes later, Leao hit the inside of the post with a volley.

Parma sat back and suddenly scored the 1-0: from a corner, Troilo jumped over Bartesaghi and scored with Maignan being blocked by Valenti, the referee initially disallowed the goal. VAR called him to the monitor and he changed his decision: Valenti's obstruction was not enough to be considered a foul, and Troilo did not push Bartesaghi, who did not jump for the corner. In the final minutes, Milan attacked but couldn't find the net.
80th MINUTE - Troilo scores from a corner but referee Piccinini immediately disallows the goal, as he believes Valenti blocked Maignan. The referee is called to the monitor and changes his decision: it's 1-0 Parma.

Luca Marelli considers the contact very light: "Valenti tries to block Maignan from intervening, stands in front of him to prevent him from getting involved. There is contact but it's minimal."

There is also doubt about the contact of Troilo jumping on Bartesaghi's back: "He puts his arm over him even though Bartesaghi doesn't jump, for me this goal should not be allowed," says Marelli.
64th MINUTE - Rabiot sends Leao into the box who shoots on the volley, the shot hits the inside of the post and rolls across the face of the goal before going out. A bitter laugh from the Milan striker.

53rd MINUTE - Saelemaekers sends Leao through on goal but Corvi comes out well at his feet, the rebound falls to Pulisic who shoots but Troilo's sliding tackle is decisive and prevents the goal.

Just before that, Leao had complained about a slight tug from Mandela Keita in the penalty area, protests that led the referee to book Leao.

45th MINUTE - Apart from two early shots from Pellegrino, Milan dominated play in the first half and tried several times with Jashari, Pulisic, and a header from Leao: 9 attempts, 5 on target but none truly dangerous.

30th MINUTE - On a contested ball in the box, Saelemaekers falls dramatically near Mandela Keita, the referee Piccinini gestures for him to get up and the Milan winger shakes his hand.


7th MINUTE - Scare for Loftus-Cheek: on a cross from Saelemaekers, the midfielder hits his head against Corvi who crashes into him coming out. In the fall, he also collides with Valenti. Loftus-Cheek is taken off on a stretcher, Jashari comes on in his place.
The concern is for the blow to his jaw according to DAZN, and the player was taken to hospital for checks.
For completeness, Luca Marelli explains that it would not have been possible to award a penalty: "It's a clash of play, the defender got there before both the goalkeeper and Loftus-Cheek".
Minor muscle problem during warm-up for Gabbia, De Winter plays in his place.
Before the match, Marco Landucci, Allegri's assistant, spoke to DAZN: "Leao is better, if he plays it means he can do it. In our opinion, he can play as a striker very well and he's already scored 8 goals. We have faith in him as we do in many other players. Substitutions are fundamental for the final result"
