24 September 2020 AC Milan pass the third preliminary round with more than a few apprehensions.

Bodo / Glimt at San Siro yields 3-2 but 'gives' unexpected thrills to the hosts in the final.

In the playoff to access the group stage, the Rossoneri will face Rio Ave in Portugal, who overcame Besiktas on penalties.



Ibrahimovic stopped by the coronavirus, the 18-year-old Lorenzo Colombo replaces him.

Behind him Castillejo, Calhanoglu and Saelemaekers.

After the start of Milan, the Norwegians wait and leave.

So, at 15 ', Hauge flies to the left and jumps Kessie, an excellent low cross that Junker shoots on the net.

A surprise advantage, which does not last long.

Time to put the ball in the center and Calhanoglu receives and adjusts the ball at 18 meters for a great left under the crossbar (16 ').

The Rossoneri change their attitude.

Haikin is good at closing the mirror to Bennacer after Calhanoglu's high recovery.

The goalkeeper on Colombo's turn is still impeccable.

Triangulation between Calhanoglu and Kessie on corner action, the Turkish shoots at the goalkeeper.

Milan overtake in the 32nd minute: Hernandez hits low from the back, Calhanoglu pulls his heel, Colombo comfortably scores his first European goal.



Pioli's team looks for the point of tranquility and would like to have found it in the 50th minute: Castillejo's corner towards the edge of the area, where Calhanoglu intervenes on the fly and shoots a low shot in the low corner.

Another goal of fine workmanship.

However, Hauge replies at 55 'with a wave from 20 meters on which Donnarumma, perhaps covered, is not flawless.

The goal takes away the Rossoneri's confidence.

Zinckernagel scares the defense, his diagonal hisses high.

Daniel Maldini (third generation) alternates with Colombo, the impression is that Milan are feeling tired.

The blow of the ko is on the foot of Saelemaekers, primed by Krunic, Moe saves on the line.

You have to suffer until 90 'and beyond.

Donnarumma saves his team on Saltnes's header with a great reflex.

Just at 92 'the same Saltnes devours himself a very occasional only in front of Donnarumma.

Milan is breathing a big sigh of relief.
