After trailing 2-0, the Milanese finally earned a draw at Sassuolo this Sunday in the league.
AC Milan has come a long way: trailing 2-0 at Sassuolo, then 3-1, Olivier Giroud and his teammates snatched the point from the draw (3-3), Sunday during the 32nd day of the Italian Championship.
AC Milan, which remained on five consecutive victories in the league, completely missed the start of the match: in the absence of Mike Maignan, spared, and with Giroud and Christian Pulisic on the bench, the Rossoneri were led 2 to 0 after ten minutes of play. Rafael Leao reduced the score with an individual exploit (20th), but Sassuolo took off again thanks to Armand Lauriente for his second goal of the afternoon. The French striker missed a chance in the 58th minute to knock out AC Milan. The entries of Giroud and Pulisic woke up Milan who reduced the score through Luka Jovic, before the equalizer from Noah Okafor (84th).
