24 January 2020 The third victory in a row for Milan comes with effort and apprehension. At the 'Rigamonti' in Brescia the Rossoneri pass 1-0 and continue to climb the rankings. The 'swallows' remain in the penultimate place at risk of overtaking. Rebic is still the match winner, after the brace (with a decisive goal in the recovery) last Sunday against Udinese.

Corini without Balotelli (disqualified), Ayé joins Torregrossa. Romulus in support. Pioli insists on 4-4-2, Leao is partnered with Ibrahimovic. Pleasant race full of emotions. Joronen and Donnarumma perform in advances that avoid complicated situations. Bennacer sets fire to the dust with a sudden stirrup that parades near the pole. Head Ibrahimovic seriously engages the 'swallows' extreme. Torregrossa spends moments of terror on the Rossoneri's rear guard when he runs away to Kjaer who puts him down. The Dane is already booked and referee Valeri graces him for the second yellow card. Two occasions for Brescia, both head-on (Torregrossa to the side, Ayé defused by Donnarumma), then Ibrahimovic's sensational error on Hernandez's assist: only in front of Joronen, the Swede puts aside.

Torregrossa's stunt in the middle of the area opens the second half: ball out of centimeters. It is the beginning of an excellent moment for the hosts. Tonali recovers in midfield and extends towards Bisoli who sinks in the area and pulls on Donnarumma out. There is a goal canceled in Torregrossa (offside confirmed by Var), then Tonali with a cross makes Donnarumma sweat cold: the ball is not much more than 'seven'. Then the AC Milan goalkeeper becomes Torregrossa's nightmare. First he flies to send a splendid shot in a corner, then neutralizes a diagonal on the ground. Meanwhile, Pioli sent Rebic (outside Leao) to the field to awaken his own. Calhanoglu tries from the outside, the nice left lap laps the post. Another opportunity for Brescia on a corner, then AC Milan passes. At 71 'Ibrahimovic goes off to the right and hits the bottom, Castillejo is thwarted in the close deviation, but the ball reaches Rebic who bags from three meters. Angry reaction from the 'swallows', who feel they don't deserve the passive. Ball centered from the right, Ndoj (recently entered) comes in tow and does not hit very well, Donnarumma reaches a corner. Corini tries with Alfredo Donnarumma in the last 11 'instead of Ayé. There is a goal disallowed in Castillejo for Ibrahimovic's previous offside. Then Theo Hernandez is unleashed: a solitary run of fifty meters and the ball printed on the crossbar with the left hand just inside the area (86 '). Without success the final assaults of Brescia.
