27 October 2019A Rome absent-minded and burdened by the commitment in the Europa League on Thursday beats Milan and overtakes Cagliari in fifth place with 16 points, just one length behind Napoli. At the Olimpico it ends 2-1 for the Giallorossi the game at 18.00 on Sunday afternoon of the ninth day of the championship. For the Rossoneri (in white held away) a setback after the equal joke with Lecce, on the second bench of Pioli. Devil at 10 points.

Fonseca with 4-2-3-1: Pau Lopez; Spinazzola, Fazio, Smalling, Kolarov; Mancini, Veretout; Zaniolo, Pastore, Perotti; Džeko. Pioli confirms the 4-3-3: Donnarumma; Conti, Musacchio, Romagnoli, Theo Hernandez; Paquetá, Biglia, Kessié; Suso, Leão, Çalhanoğlu. Arbitra Orsato of Schio.

Milan arrogant at the start, Rome more cautious. After some confused action, the first pitch only arrives at 12 'with Leão: maybe Lopez touches it, but Orsato grants remittance from the bottom. At 16 'Paquetà scored but started from an offside position on Suso's vertical position. On the other side, on the 17th minute Pastore's right-footed right-hand shot ends not far from Donnarumma's right post. Always' el Flaco 'dangerous on 19' after a ball recovered on Kessié, wide diagonal. Fought game in midfield. Kessiè defends a good ball, then Çalhanoğlu engages Lopez on the ground. Kessié is still the protagonist immediately afterwards: he sends Leão in depth, who instead of throwing the ball back to him, intercepted by a defender. Bright yellow on 37 ': Zaniolo explodes a left-footed shot, Donnarumma takes refuge in a corner. From the corner, Veretout, Mancini head-shot, Džeko all alone at the far post to cross, for his fifth personal success (38 '). Only a half-miracle from Donnarumma avoids the doubling of the Roman player, even if Pastore for three meters pulls the Rossoneri goalkeeper, wasting a big chance (42 '). A mistake by Biglia causes a shiver to run down the Rossoneri's back.

In the start of recovery, Pastore is immediately active, but his left is oversized. Milan in trouble. Biglia loses the ball and Musacchio concedes punishment from the limit on Perotti; Kolarov's shot, deflected by the barrier, ends wide with Donnarumma out of action. On the corner kick, Smalling's big shot to the side of little (51 '). Pioli recalls Conti and inserts Calabria on 52 '. Fonseca answers with Antonucci for Perotti in the 53rd minute. Unexpectedly in the 55th minute Milan scored: Calabria centered on the right, Hernandez towed and fired, the deviation of Smalling prank Lopez. The draw takes very little: Calabria loses the ball on the way out, Džeko verticalizes, after a ball rebound to Zaniolo who with a left to turn stabs Donnarumma (59 '). Pioli lets Piątek enter for Paquetà at 63 '. Milan manages to move the center of gravity forward, but Biglia's shot on 69 minutes is easy for Lopez. At 70 'Mancini takes off alone on the corner but misses the target dramatically. Third change for the Rossoneri in the 72nd minute: Bennacer for Biglia. Second substitution for Roma: Çetin for Spinazzola. A defensive error sends Zaniolo into the goal, Donnarumma's response to Milan is great. Last change for Roma in the 83rd minute: Zaniolo comes out, Santon enters. Opportunity for Milan from side foul action: on Piątek's cross, Çalhanoğlu ends in a right footed shot but is only outside the net. Still the turkish on a free kick, ball on the side But Milan are unable to straighten out the game.
