Overview

  • Marc-Oliver Kempf put Como ahead after 10 minutes before Christopher Nkunku leveled from the spot following a foul on Adrien Rabiot.
  • Rabiot struck on 55 minutes from Rafael Leão’s clipped pass and clinched the result late with a low drive after a Niclas Füllkrug header.
  • Mike Maignan produced multiple crucial saves, including point‑blank efforts on Nico Paz and Lucas Da Cunha, with Massimiliano Allegri saying the goalkeeper "kept us alive."
  • Como dominated long stretches, hit the woodwork twice and led key metrics, but Milan converted three times from four shots on target.
  • Allegri shifted shapes during the match and used Füllkrug off the bench despite a reported fractured toe, as Milan moved to 43 points, three behind Inter and three clear of Napoli.
