It's a bad draw. AC Milan needed a big result in what is becoming an increasingly tight race for Champions League football but were held by Salernitana at ...

Salernitana, though, grew into the half and gained some belief, thanks to Candreva’s right-footed shot, that was well-saved by Maignan, and an equalising goal just after the hour mark: Bohinen for Bradarić, who then squared to an unmarked Dia to slot home from 6 yards. An immediate response by the home side saw Bennacer again dangerous after 65 minutes, but his effort from the edge of the area flew just over. There was a scare five minutes later, though, when a Bennacer lost possession, after good pressing, putting Maignan in difficulty; Bohinen picked up the ball, laid it off to Kastanos who had time to pick his spot, but a timely block by Krunić took it wide of the post for a corner. The Rossoneri started the second half by keeping the ball and showing a few flashes of brilliance.And after 52 minutes, they nearly doubled their lead: Bennacer drove forward through the middle of the park, eventually unleashing a left-footed cross-come-shot that Leão just couldn’t direct on target. Two minutes before the end of regular time, Thiaw gave the ball away on the halfway line leaving a run through on goal for Dia, but he was unable to get past Maignan, who came out with an vital interception to stop him. Still, AC Milan did manage to overtake the Giallorossi to move into fourth place on 48 points.

AC Milan failed to build on their Champions League success and thus fueled the top-four worries, drawing 1-1 against Salernitana at San Siro tonight.

Diaz (5.5): He did quite well in the first half and helped Milan break down a tough Salernitana defence. For a higher rating and the MOTM award, though, he needed to do better in open play. Nearly scored a goal but was denied by Kalulu (who had no idea of it). Tomori (5.5): He made a couple of rash fouls this evening and the positioning wasn’t always the best. Saelemaekers (5.5): A couple of good moments here and there, but not enough contribution in the end. Hernandez (6): If he had played like he did when Leao went off all game, then the rating would have been higher.

Ochoa is the hero again for Salernitana, as he somehow keeps a Florenzi header out on the line. Bennacer swings a corner in towards the front post and this time Giroud beats Gyomber to it, glancing a header in from six yards. After a look at the monitor, the referee overturns his decision. There is contact but Bennacer is looking for it and throws himself quite dramatically to the ground. Giroud, who has his back to goal, leaps into the air and attempts an acrobatic overhead kick, but it flies inches over the bar! Salernitana's resistance finally breaks with the last action of the first half!

Goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa succeeded only in palming Théo Hernandez’s cross-shot onto the head of Alessandro Florenzi, who nodded it onto his foot and volleyed toward goal. Milan remained fourth but inched one point clear of Roma. The veteran forward did break the deadlock in first-half stoppage time when he headed in a corner.

Derby delight and top spot. Coach Corti: "The group makes the difference"

The Rossonere have now won 9 straight games, 8 of which have been in 2023 and they are unbeaten in this calendar year. "We're on a great run," Corti continued. "We nee to start games better but the girls reacted well and they gave it a go, doing just what we looked at during the week.
