Romagnoli scores and then gets sent off in the final, when Scamacca, Berardi and Kjaer’s own goal had already reversed the situation
Unexpected victory for Sassuolo, who placed the coup of the day at San Siro forcing Milan to their second consecutive defeat in the league. It ends 1-3 with the initial advantage of Romagnoli (later expelled) overturned by the seals of Scamacca and Berardi, in addition to Kjaer’s own goal. In particular, this is the third match in a row without success for Pioli’s team, which could leave Napoli, who are busy tonight with Lazio, the possibility of taking it off in the lead. The Rossoneri immediately try to play the game and in the 21st minute they take the lead thanks to Romagnoli’s header on Theo Hernandez’s cross, but they don’t even have time to rejoice that on the other side Scamacca is inventing the pearl of the immediate 1-1. Sassuolo recovered incredibly morale and after the half hour overturns everything with an own goal by Kjaer, who is unlucky in a rebound in front of goal after the save from Maignan on a shot by Scamacca himself. In the second half Milan tries to increase the engine revs to hunt for a comeback, but it doesn’t seem like a lucky afternoon for Pioli’s men. In the 66th minute the Sassuolo trio arrives with a great play by Berardi, who leaves Romagnoli in place and with the right strikes Maignan for the 1-3 goal. Black day that continues for the “devil” in the 77th minute, the minute in which Romagnoli remedies a direct red for a foul from the last man, leaving the Rossoneri outnumbered and effectively dropping all hopes of a comeback.
