Match Overview

Cremonese started better and had their first chance at six minutes when Vardy headed dangerously at the far post, sending the ball out. A minute later, Maleh shot from outside the box, but the ball went over Milan's goal. At 19 minutes, Vardy tried from a distance with a strong shot, forcing goalkeeper Maignan to make his first save.

At 34 minutes, Rafael Leão had a good chance to score for the red and black team, receiving the ball in the middle of the area to finish, but his shot was poor and went wide. At 44 minutes, Pulisic controlled the ball in the area and shot, but Audero saved it, and was called into action again at 46 minutes with a low shot from Fofana from the edge of the area.

In the second half, at 15 minutes, Rafael Leão received a cross in the small area and only needed to push it into the net, but he missed and wasted another chance. Thirteen minutes later, the Portuguese forward received the ball on the left side of the area and shot with effect, but Audero prevented the goal again.

Only at 45 minutes did Milan manage to score. In a set-piece play from a corner, Modric crossed precisely from the far post, and Pavlovic rose to deflect and score for the visitors. Four minutes later, Nkunku broke away on a counterattack and, as the goalkeeper came out, passed to Rafael Leão to score the second and seal Milan's victory.
