Overview
- Como led through Marc-Oliver Kempf before a VAR-checked foul on Adrien Rabiot yielded a first‑half penalty that Christopher Nkunku converted, with Rabiot adding goals on 55 and 88 minutes for a 3-1 Milan victory.
- Allegri overruled Rafael Leao to assign the spot kick to Nkunku, a moment defused on the field by Mike Maignan as he calmed Leao before the conversion.
- Maignan produced multiple decisive saves, notably on Nico Paz and Da Cunha, as Como dominated large stretches, struck the woodwork, and suffered their first home defeat of the season.
- Allegri described his side as resilient and said he changed systems during the match, highlighting in-game adjustments that helped Milan absorb pressure and counter effectively.
- The result moves Milan three points behind Inter and above Napoli in the table, while reports point to advanced talks on Maignan’s contract extension, which Allegri framed as a club matter.
