AC Milan Women 2-2 Sassuolo: Red card costly as Rossonere collapse from two-goal lead

"AC Milan Women coughed up a two-goal lead in the second half of their game against Sassuolo, conceding a late equaliser to draw 2-2. In their last game, Milan suffered a tough defeat 1-0 against Como on Saturday evening, conceding a penalty in injury time after a lengthy VAR check. The Rossonere's Milicia Keijzer was sent off for denial of a clear goal-scoring opportunity, and Nischler sent the goalkeeper the wrong way from the spot."

"After a first half in which both sides traded chances but not goals, everything sprung into life. It started with Park's opener after she had just come off the bench, with the forward converting Cernoia's cross with her head to make it 1-0. Just nine minutes later, it was 2-0 to the Rossonere. Ijeh got the goal this time as she too fired in from a Cernoia assist, this time with a left-footed shot that beat Durand in the Neroverde goal."

The match turned before the hour mark when Dompig received a straight red card for a studs-up challenge. Sassuolo reduced the deficit in the 75th minute through Clelland's long-range strike. In the sixth minute of eight added, Sabatino headed in a Clelland free-kick to level the score at 2-2.
