MILAN (ITALPRESS) – A Milan in full defensive emergency found good responses at San Siro against Frosinone, prevailing 3-1. Redemption arrives, therefore, after the home defeat in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund. Excellent performance from Jovic, scorer of his first goal in the championship and an assist for Tomori’s goal, Pulisic’s goal in between the two goals, and Mazzitelli’s goal at the end for Di Francesco’s yellow and blues.
The first chance of the match came in the 23rd minute, when Chukwueze kicked with his left foot from outside the area, finding the deflection of a defender, with the ball going out just to Turati’s left. In the 35th minute Musah came close to taking the lead by hitting the post, but the action was thwarted by the American’s initial offside. The Ciociari came close to taking the lead in the 42nd minute, when Cuni stole the ball from a less than attentive Tomori and flew towards Maignan, trying to overtake him with a touch underneath, but the goalkeeper was ready and saved his outgoing players. Missed goal, goal conceded. On the reversal of the source, Chukwueze receives the ball in the area and crosses to the center, Romagnoli frees the header and Jovic takes advantage by hitting Turati with his left foot from close range. For the Serbian it is the first goal in the Rossoneri shirt. The two teams go into the locker room at 1-0.
Pioli’s men scored the second goal just five minutes into the second half. Maignan serves an assist directly from a pass that surprises the defensive line, Pulisic tames the ball beautifully and flies towards Turati, passing him with a fine touch underneath for 2-0. The hosts control the game without worry and in the 29th minute they find the hat-trick. Hernandez catches Jovic from the left, with the center forward acting as a header for Tomori who, from two steps, scores to seal the 3-0 which closes the score. In the 37th minute, Calabria and his teammates celebrate Bennacer’s return to the field after a long injury. Two minutes later, the newly promoted team found the winner thanks to Brescianini who beat Maignan thanks to a mocking free kick from the right which was not touched by anyone, deceiving the French goalkeeper. The result will no longer change. Thanks to this victory, Milan remains in third position at 29, temporarily moving to -3 behind Inter. Frosinone remains in eleventh position with 18 points.
