AC Milan Held to 1-1 Draw by Cremonese in Frustrating Home Game

AC Milan’s recent frustrating home game at San Siro against Cremonese ended in a 1-1 draw on Wednesday night, causing them to lose ground in the top-four battle for a Champions League spot. Despite making a bright start and creating several opportunities, Milan struggled to break down Cremonese’s low block defense throughout the game

Milan’s Missed Opportunities

Milan’s missed opportunities included a disallowed goal for Saelemaekers and Origi’s low-angled shot that was tipped wide. Moreover, De Ketelaere had an opportunity to score when Meite’s backpass to the goalkeeper was intercepted by the 22-year-old, who was swiftly closing in on the goal.

Repetitive Rhythm of the Game

Despite dominating possession, the Rossoneri were unable to find a way past the away side’s deep defense due to their lack of creativity and cutting-edge quality.

As the second half began, Milan continued to dominate, but their struggles with the end product persisted. At times, it felt like Milan was playing a game with themselves to see how difficult they could make things.

Late Equalizer and Drama

Milan’s late equalizer came in the third minute of added time via a bizarre method. A free-kick was awarded right on the edge of the box and flicked off Krunic, going in at the near post. The game ended with a late red card for violent conduct against Charles Pickel, who appeared to have punched or used his forearm on Tonali’s head.
