Overview

• Luka Modric scored in the 61st minute from an Alexis Saelemaekers delivery to secure Milan’s win in Serie A’s third round.
• Santiago Giménez started up front and missed a clear one‑on‑one around the 82nd minute after a Christian Pulisic pass, then was replaced by Christopher Nkunku.
• The miss prolonged Giménez’s goalless run for Milan in official matches, with his last club goals recorded on May 9 against Bologna.
• Massimiliano Allegri was sent off late for vehement protests after several Milan penalty appeals were not awarded, including incidents involving Nkunku, Giménez and Pulisic.
• Milan moves to six points with two wins from three matches, while Bologna remains on three points after the narrow defeat.
