"Lorenzo Pellegrini scored a penalty to earn Roma a deserved point in a 1-1 draw with AC Milan, who missed the chance to close the gap to Serie A leaders Inter. Koni De Winter's first goal in just under a year had put Milan on top after a nervy first half, but they could not hold out for all three points, and now sit five points behind their rivals."
"Roma raced out of the blocks, with Donyell Malen - on his home debut - seeing a shot tamely deflect into Mike Maignan's gloves after just 18 seconds. Malen continued to lead the charge, forcing Maignan into another save shortly after before drilling wide from the edge of the six-yard box after peeling away from Milan's defence. Maignan was called into action twice more in the first half as Milan struggled to deal with Roma's pressure, with both Malen and Zeki Celik denied"
Roma earned a 1-1 draw at Stadio Olimpico after Lorenzo Pellegrini converted a penalty following Davide Bartesaghi handling Zeki Celik's cross. Koni De Winter put Milan ahead in the 62nd minute when Luka Modric's bending cross was flicked over the line. Roma dominated early, with Donyell Malen forcing several saves from Mike Maignan and producing numerous chances. Milan improved after halftime but struggled to sustain pressure and managed few clear opportunities late, with Niclas Fullkrug's blocked shot in stoppage time the best chance. Milan remain five points behind Serie A leaders Inter. Expected goals favored Roma 2.75 to 0.44.
