Always and only in comeback mode, always and only suffering: Milan defeats Como 2-1 at San Siro with goals from Pulisic in the 53rd minute and Reijnders in the 75th, overturning the initial lead by Da Cunha in the 33rd. This marks the Rossoneri's second consecutive victory. The first-half performance left much to be desired, but this is what the team can offer at the moment.
Milan - Como's match summary:
Como set the pace at a high tempo from the very first minutes, with Fabregas' team immediately putting the Rossoneri in trouble. A familiar scene this season, Milan initially adapted: after just five minutes, Musah wasted a good chance by shooting wide, and Nico Paz responded immediately with a left-footed strike that failed to hit the target. As the minutes passed, Como grew in confidence, making life difficult for Milan. Conceição's side struggled to build their play, and a defensive lapse led to another chance for Nico Paz, but Maignan managed to block the chip attempt from Fabregas' talented midfielder.
Moments later, the visitors took the lead. After a quick passing sequence, Da Cunha found the shot that broke the deadlock. Como even came close to doubling their lead, but Maignan once again denied Kempf's attempt. San Siro echoed with whistles at halftime, as the Rossoneri supporters continued their protest.
In the second half, the hosts struggled to mount a reaction. Da Cunha even scored a second goal, but it was disallowed for offside. Milan clung to that reprieve, and three minutes later, Pulisic capitalized on a perfect ball from Reijnders, slotting a precise diagonal shot past Butez. Como began to struggle, and with a quarter of an hour remaining, Reijnders himself took advantage of a brilliant through ball from Abraham, firing in at the near post to secure Milan's second consecutive win, as relayed via Milannews.it.
