"The home side had the bulk of the chances in the first half, with Pervis Estupiñán and Ruben Loftus-Cheek both hitting the woodwork. It was the 40-year-old Croatian though that broke the deadlock for Milan, getting onto the end of an Alexis Saelemaekers pass to expertly slot it past Poland keeper Lukasz Skorupski on the hour mark. Christopher Nkunku came on to make his Milan debut and within seconds appeared to win a penalty, only for VAR to overturn the decision."
"That led to outrage amongst the home fans and dugout and manager Massimiliano Allegri was sent to the stands for his reaction. It was a match full of debuts following the summer transfer window closing, and former Marseille teammates Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe were reacquainted after their training ground altercation, which led to the Ligue 1 club deciding to move both players on."
Luka Modric scored his first Serie A goal as AC Milan beat Bologna 1-0 at the San Siro. The home side created the bulk of first-half chances, with Pervis Estupiñán and Ruben Loftus-Cheek both hitting the woodwork. Modric, aged 40, converted an Alexis Saelemaekers pass to beat Lukasz Skorupski on the hour. Christopher Nkunku made his Milan debut and briefly appeared to win a penalty, but VAR overturned the decision after referee Matteo Marcenaro reviewed Remo Freuler's challenge. Massimiliano Allegri reacted angrily, removed his blazer, and was sent to the stands, ruling him out of the next match. Adrien Rabiot played the full 90 minutes.
