"Loftus-Cheek then made the breakthrough before half-time, powering in a header from Zachary Athekame's cross to relieve Milan of some pressure ahead of the restart. Fullkrug came on for the second 45 minutes and could have put the game to bed after Strahinja Pavlovic was fouled by Loyola in the box, but the former West Ham striker clipped the outside of the left post with his spot kick."
"The visitors were left searching for a winner when the ball fell kindly to Loyola in the box before he found the bottom-right corner, but Modric played a give-and-go with Samuele Ricci before evading Simone Canestrelli's challenge to poke past Nicolas. Rabiot, however, risked making things difficult for the visitors when he received two yellow cards in the space of 20 seconds, first for a foul on the edge of the box and the second for dissent,"
Luka Modric scored an 85th-minute winner to give AC Milan a 2-1 victory over Pisa, after Felipe Loyola had cancelled out Ruben Loftus-Cheek's opener. Loftus-Cheek opened the scoring with a powerful header from Zachary Athekame's cross. Niclas Fullkrug missed a penalty by clipping the outside of the post after Strahinja Pavlovic was fouled in the box. Filip Stojilkovic had an earlier chance well saved by Mike Maignan. Adrien Rabiot received two quick yellow cards and was sent off, but Milan held on and moved to within five points of Serie A leaders Inter. Milan produced 2.35 xG to Pisa's 0.77.
