Overview
- Pavlović scored in the 39th minute after a driving run and cross from Rafa Leão to put Milan ahead at San Siro.
- An 82nd‑minute handball by Youssouf Fofana on a Pellegrini set piece gave Roma a penalty that Mike Maignan saved from Paulo Dybala.
- Roma controlled large portions of play but were wasteful in front of goal, finishing with roughly 20 shots and seven on target without scoring.
- The result tightens the Serie A summit, with Napoli on 22 points and Milan, Inter and Roma clustered on 21.
- Dybala left with a muscle issue after the missed penalty, which Gian Piero Gasperini described as very serious, with medical updates pending.
