"Roma dominated large parts of the game, particularly in the first half, but when Koni De Winter headed in a corner just after the hour-mark, dreams of another Massimiliano Allegri smash-and-grab were very much cultivated. The lead wasn't to last for too long though as Davide Bartesaghi was penalised for a handball inside the box and Lorenzo Pellegrini converted from 12 yards. Ultimately 1-1 is how it would finish at the Stadio Olimpico, a first draw for Roma all season."
"Massimiliano Allegri chose to make three changes to the starting line-up from the team that beat Lecce last weekend. Luka Modric came back into the midfield, with Davide Bartesaghi returning at left wing-back and Christopher Nkunku chosen up front over Christian Pulisic. Gian Piero Gasperini meanwhile went with Mancini, Ndicka and Ghilardi as his three-man defence, with Celik, Konè, Cristante and Wesley across the midfield line, then Dybala and Soulé operating behind the January signing Malen."
AC Milan and Roma played to a 1-1 draw at the Stadio Olimpico, Roma's first draw of the season. Roma dominated large parts of the match, especially in the first half, using man-to-man marking and an aggressive high press led by a three-man defence and wide attackers. Milan made three changes and shifted to a 4-2-3-1 structure on the ball to bypass Roma's man-marking, with Ricci and Modrić at the base and Rabiot between the lines. Koni De Winter headed a corner after the hour mark, and Lorenzo Pellegrini equalised from a penalty following a handball by Davide Bartesaghi. Milan's unbeaten run extended to 21 games while Inter moved five points clear at the top.
