"Milan took the lead in the 62nd minute through Koni De Winter's fine header, but the Rossoneri were unable to hold on as they conceded a penalty 12 minutes later. Lorenzo Pellegrini stepped up to coolly dispatch from 12 yards, with the spoils shared as Milan's impressive unbeaten streak in Serie A extended to 21 matches. Indeed, it is the longest such stretch across Europe's top five leagues, though Milan may feel they were perhaps fortunate to leave the capital with a point."
""I think the first few minutes were good, then Roma pushed us back, they kept getting to the second ball quicker than we did and were dangerous," Allegri told DAZN Italia. "Maignan did well to keep us in the game with some good saves. After the break, it was different. We did better on a technical level and Roma also lost some of their intensity.""
"Roma ended the contest with an expected goals (xG) total of 2.75 from their 15 shots, seven of which tested Mike Maignan, to Milan's measly 0.44 from their five attempts. Roma's dominance was summed up at the break, with Milan ending a first half of a league game with 10 more shots conceded than taken (11 v one in this match) for the first time since July 2020, against Napoli (11)."
AC Milan drew 1-1 with Roma at Stadio Olimpico after Koni De Winter's 62nd-minute header was cancelled out by Lorenzo Pellegrini's penalty in the 74th minute. The result extended Milan's unbeaten Serie A run to 21 matches, the longest across Europe's top five leagues, while Milan's xG was only 0.44 from five shots compared with Roma's 2.75 from 15 attempts. Roma dominated in the first half and forced numerous saves from Mike Maignan. Allegri said Milan improved after the break and took a positive point, maintaining distances with Napoli and Roma in the table.
