In this morning's print edition, Il Corriere dello Sport have reported the stastics of the draw that saw AC Milan come back home with one point after a tough match with RB Salzburg.
Although the Rossoneri recorded a dominance in possession of the ball (about 65%), in the number of passes and in the percentage of successful passes, there is another figure that should be underlined which can explain the difficulties found in the game: we are talking about duels. In fact, RB Salzburg have won 64 duels. AC Milan, however, have won only 47 duels, as relayed by Milannews.it.
The Austrians contested very well for the 'second balls' and 50/50 situations which obviously made life more difficult for the red and black faithful who were looking to grab a win.
