Rafael Leão dazzles for Milan: ex-Sporting star's cheeky lob (video) | OneFootball

Last Wednesday, in a rescheduled match from the 24th round of Serie A, Milan and Como could not go beyond a one-all draw (1-1) at San Siro. However, Rafael Leão started for the home side and made his mark on the match with a magical 'chip' goal.

Cesc Fàbregas’ team took the lead thanks to Mike Maignan in the 32nd minute. While trying to pass to Ardon Jashari, he allowed a very easy interception by Nico Paz, who shot between the goalkeeper’s legs to score his tenth goal of the season.

The second 45 minutes saw a more motivated and dominant Rossoneri side. After several dangerous approaches, Rafael Leão found himself alone behind the visitors’ defense. The former Sporting player took advantage of a reckless rush out by Jean Butez and chipped the ball over the goalkeeper to make it 1-1.

Cesc Fàbregas’ men were struggling and pinned back in their own half. Leão – who also recently made his mark – came close to scoring a second, but his header at the far post, following a corner, hit the crossbar. After that, the visiting team managed to relieve the pressure and even came close to winning, but Martin Baturina’s first-time shot went into the side netting.

With this result, Milan remain in second place and are seven points behind leaders Inter. On the other hand, Como sit in sixth place with 42 points. The Rossoneri will be back in action next Sunday, February 22, against Parma at San Siro at 5:00 pm. The match will count for the 26th round of Serie A.
