Overview
- Milan scored three times before half-time to win the Derby della Madonnina 3-1 at the San Siro on Saturday, with Christian Pulisic and Adrien Rabiot scoring early and Diego Moreira adding a free-kick late in the half.
- Diego Moreira produced a standout derby debut with two first-half assists and a 43rd-minute free-kick, directly creating Milan’s key chances and forcing Inter to chase the game.
- Inter dominated possession and volume statistics — roughly 57% possession, far more passes and 11 corners — but repeatedly failed to turn territory into clear chances from dangerous positions.
- Coach Cristian Chivu said injuries to key players, including Lautaro Martínez, Curtis Jones and John Stones, forced selection and tactical changes that weakened Inter’s balance and left wing-backs exposed.
- The result moves Milan to fourth and extends their unbeaten derby run to eight matches while handing Inter their first league loss of the season and raising urgent questions before Inter host Como and Milan visit Genoa next weekend.
