  /  R47

Milan maintained their winning run with a 1-0 victory at Brescia thanks to Ante Rebic's 71st-minute strike.

Match Report

Ante Rebic was once again the match-winning hero as Milan beat Brescia 1-0 at Stadio Mario Rigamonti to make it three Serie A wins in a row and climb up to sixth place.

The Croatia international scored twice in last week's 3-2 home win against Udinese, including a last-gasp strike, and netted the only goal in Friday's clash with Brescia.

Milan are now unbeaten in five matches in all competitions this calendar year but they also had Gianluigi Donnarumma to thank for this latest victory.

Match Events

17' Bennacer's shot wide out

CLOSE! Milan respond in force, with Bennacer trying his luck with a wicked half-volley from 20 yards out. The goalkeeper is beaten, but fortunately for Brescia, the ball ripples into the side netting.

19' CLOSE! Ibrahimovic's header stopped by Joronen

Ibrahimovic’s presence proves too much for Brescia’s defence as the veteran striker towers hight to meet a cross from the right. His header isn’t a clean one, though, and loops up, making it an awkward save for Joronen, who just manages to keep it out.

34' Torregrossa's header wide out

What a chance for Brescia! That really should be 1-0 to the hosts, as Milan’s defence completely switches off and allows Torregrossa to meet Tonali’s corner unchallenged. However, he can only head wide from 12 yards out.

40' CHANCE! Ibrahimovic's shot wide out

WHAT A MISS! Wow, that is some miss from Ibrahimovic! Milan have been second-best but should have been 1-0 up after Hernandez put it on a plate for Ibrahimovic. But, from six yards out, the striker somehow skews wide.

55' Donnarumma makes s decent save

What a save! Brescia are all over Milan at the moment and Donnarumma has just had to pull off an outstanding stop to deny Bisoli an opener. 

56' OFFSIDE! Torregrossa’s goal disallowed

The hosts maintain the pressure, with a long-range strike taking a deflection on its way into the net, only for the offside flag to rule out the goal.

60' What a save from Donnarumma

Another stunning stop from Donnarumma, who is single-handedly keeping the scores level at the moment. This time, the goalkeeper lunges to his left to keep out Torregrossa’s effort, which was heading for the top corner.

71' GOAL! Brescia 0-1 Milan (Rebic)

REBIC MAKES IT 1-0 TO MILAN! Well, Brescia have been made to pay for their earlier profligacy and it is super-sub Rebic who has given the visitors the lead, bundling home from close range after a scramble in the six-yard box.

76' Donnarumma makes a brilliant save again

CHANCE! Donnarumma comes to the rescue again for Milan! The ball falls kindly to Ndoj on the edge of the box, only for the substitute to scuff his shot slightly. It was still on target, but Milan’s goalkeeper scrambles down to parry it wide.

83' Disallowed! Castillejo scores but the goal is offside

NO GOAL! Castillejo has just slammed home from close range, but his celebrations are cut short by the referee’s whistle, as Ibrahimovic – who nudged it into his team-mate – was offside.
