"Mike Maignan has admitted that AC Milan started slowly against Como, but hung in there and struck when it counted to claim the win. Marc-Oliver Kempf scored the opening goal with a header from a corner that Maignan could do very little about as Milan's zonal marking system seemed to let them down again. However, he then made several world-class saves to keep his team in it, a couple to deny the lively Nico Paz."
"We knew playing here would be difficult. We were prepared. We started slowly, they scored, but we didn't concede a second. We held firm as a team and scored when we wanted to. We closed down well, and that gave us the three points tonight."
"He scored two beautiful goals and earned a penalty, but above all, there's a lot of work behind it that we can see, not just the goals. He's done very well for the team."
AC Milan started slowly and conceded after Marc-Oliver Kempf headed in from a corner as zonal marking appeared to falter. The goalkeeper then produced several world-class saves, including stops to deny Nico Paz, which kept Milan competitive. Milan won a penalty when Adrien Rabiot was fouled and Christopher Nkunku converted to level the score. Rabiot scored twice in the second half to complete a comeback and secure three vital points. The team defended resolutely, closed down opponents effectively, and expended substantial energy to grind out the result in a difficult away setting.
