Match Events

16' Yellow Card! Paqueta booked

A third booking for Milan, and this time it’s Paqueta who is walking a tightrope after sliding into Rincon just as the Torino midfielder was about to latch onto a poor goal kick from Donnarumma! What was the Milan goalkeeper thinking there?

50' NO PENALTY! Belotti tackled down in penalty area

Belotti is bundled over by Musacchio as the former goes for a header, and the Torino skipper is incensed that referee Guida hasn’t awarded a penalty! Despite replays showing that the forward does have a strong case, VAR isn’t consulted and play goes on!

58' Penalty Goal! Torino 1-0 Milan (Belotti)

Belotti makes no mistake from 12 yards out, smashing the ball down the middle and sending Donnarumma the wrong way to his left! A vital goal for the hosts, who will be level on points with their opponents should they continue to hold out!

69' GOAL! Torino 2-0 Milan (Berenguer)

The Olimpico Grande erupts with joy after Torino take advantage of a bad header from Musacchio following Ansaldi’s cross, which goes straight to Berenguer who unleashes a curler past a flailing Donnarumma!

81' Red Card! Romagnoli sent off

Guida has finally reached his limit with the Milan skipper’s behaviour throughout the match, and after sarcastically clapping another decision against his side, the referee whips out a second yellow and then the inevitable red! It goes from bad to worse for Gattuso and his troops!

Match Report

Milan, who were eliminated from the Coppa Italia semi-finals by Lazio on Wednesday, lacked a clinical edge with Krzysztof Piatek only entering the game in the second half and have now won just one of their last eight matches in all competitions.

Italy international Belotti fired home from the spot in the 58th minute after Franck Kessie fouled Armando Izzo and, after Piatek was thrown on in response, Berenguer sent a fine effort past Gianluigi Donnarumma.
