Milan won away in the big meeting with Roma, but collapsed in the final minutes.
Otherwise it started well for the Rossoneri.
Pierre Kalulu put de Milan ahead after half an hour. The defender stayed ahead of a corner and scored his first goal of the season.
– It is done forcefully by Kalulu shrugging off his defender and then nodding straight into the grass with an unpleasant rebound, said expert C More commentator Matias Concha.
The score was 1-0 at halftime.
Roma looked for an equalizer in the second half and in the 66th minute coach José Mourinho replaced the super-promised Swede Benjamin Tahirovic. But it was another Swede who got to celebrate shortly after.
With just over ten minutes remaining in regular time, Tommaso Pobega made it 2-0 for Milan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic was seen on the touchline applauding his team-mates.
Roma reduced in the final minutes with Roger Ibañez in a set situation and in the 93rd extra time, Nemaja Matic had to stand up inside the Milan penalty area and take a cross free kick on goal. Ciprian Tătărușanu saved, but Tammy Abraham made it 2-2 in the rebound.
– How can he (Matic) be so alone and nod? That’s the big question, Concha said and continued:
– What a shot.
The match ended 2-2.
The defending champions now three in Serie A and are now seven points clear of Napoli, who defeated Sampdoria 2-0 last Sunday.
Roma are in sixth place in Serie A.
