Serie A Football News – Milan Remain Unbeaten after a 1-0 Win
Torino have not won against Milan at the San Siro since the 1984/85 season, although ‘il Toro’ started well.
However, the hosts landed them their first blow when Olivier Giroud scored the opener in just 14th minute.
Still, the visitors looked comfortable with the ball because they had 54% possession of it till the half time break.
The hosts, the Rossoneri, however, were clearly the more dangerous of the two sides.
Indeed, Rafael Leao forced Milinkovic-Savic into a save from long-range before Krunic also headed, just wide, in the 45th minute.
By the 54th minute, Torino boss Ivan Jurić had seen enough as he decided to introduce three new faces. Jurić added substitutes Antonio Sanabria, Dennis Praet and Ricardo Rodriguez to the equation on the pitch.
Star striker Andrea Belotti, who ruined one of his side’s best chances shortly after the break, was one of the players who had to quit the pitch for these new substitutes.
The aforementioned substitute trio, then, had a fantastic opportunity to level the score. But Ciprian Tatarusanu saved Sanabria’s shot skillfully, while Praet’s deflected effort hit the bar while flying out for a corner.
