AC Milan Held to 1-1 Draw by Relegation-Threatened Cagliari in Serie A

New coach Sergio Conceicao's league debut sees Milan dominate but fail to capitalize, leaving the team eighth in the standings.

AC Milan drew 1-1 at home against 18th-placed Cagliari, despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances.
Alvaro Morata opened the scoring for Milan in the 51st minute, but Cagliari equalized just four minutes later through defender Nadir Zortea.
Milan's forwards struggled to convert opportunities, with 24 created chances and 11 shots on target yielding only one goal.
Coach Sergio Conceicao, appointed in late December, criticized the team's lack of rhythm and called for more selfishness in front of goal.
The result leaves Milan eighth in Serie A, eight points behind fourth-placed Lazio, though they have two games in hand.
