On Saturday, January 11, Milan hosted one of the outsiders of the championship, Cagliari.
From the start of the match, Milan took control of the ball, trying to find gaps in the visitors' defense. Leau, Hernandez and Reynders made the most striking attempts, but no one managed to score.
Cagliari managed to reach Milan's goal a couple of times, but in the end the first half ended without goals.
With the start of the second half, the Rossoneri rushed to attack in large numbers. First, Pulisic hit the crossbar, and then, still after the American’s shot, Morata reacted to the finish and opened the scoring.
And almost immediately Cagliari responded with a quick attack and equalized with a goal from Zortea. Over the next half hour, Milan completely dominated the field, but were unable to convert this into goals and lost points.
