"AC Milan sent a signal to their Scudetto rivals with a narrow win against Cagliari on Friday evening. While it wasn't a fantastic performance, there are many positive stats to take from the game. As things stand, the Rossoneri are at the top of the standings with 38 points, two points ahead of their city rivals Inter. The Nerazzurri will face Bologna on Sunday evening and could reclaim first place, but at least Massimiliano Allegri put pressure on Cristian Chivu."
"Taking a look at the overall stats for the game, you can tell that it wasn't the most entertaining Friday entertainment at Unipol Domus. Both teams had under one in xG and very few shots on target, with just one for the home side and four for Milan. Milan converted their only big chance of the game, and it's worth noting that this was also their first shot on target."
AC Milan beat Cagliari narrowly on Friday to move to the top of the Serie A table with 38 points, two ahead of Inter. Both teams registered under one xG and few shots on target, with Milan having four shots on target and converting their lone big chance — their first shot on target. That marks the 12th time this season Milan scored the opening goal with their first shot on target. Adrien Rabiot provided the assist and covered wide areas of midfield, while Rafael Leao scored despite playing at around 70% fitness to avoid injury.
