"Mariano Troilo headed in late on as Parma claimed a 1-0 win over AC Milan, who saw their Serie A title hopes take another hit at San Siro. Milan were on a 24-game unbeaten streak in the top flight heading into Sunday's clash, but with their first loss since the opening weekend, they remain 10 points behind the leaders. Mateo Pellegrino volleyed narrowly wide in the opening two minutes, but Milan were on top from there without creating too many clear-cut opportunities."
"Pulisic also saw a low drive cleared off the line by Troilo on the other side of half-time. Rafael Leao rattled the frame of the goal with a fine volley after meeting Adrien Rabiot's cross, but Parma continued to stand firm. And that paid off as, in the 80th minute, Troilo rose above his defender to head Emanuele Valeri's corner into the far post."
Parma secured a 1-0 victory over AC Milan at San Siro thanks to Mariano Troilo's 80th-minute header from Emanuele Valeri's corner. The goal was initially ruled out for a foul on Mike Maignan but was awarded after a VAR review determined Lautaro Valenti did not impede the goalkeeper. Milan dominated possession and produced 25 shots worth a combined 1.33 expected goals, with Christian Pulisic, Rafael Leao, Adrien Rabiot and Ardon Jashari each having multiple attempts, but failed to convert. Parma defended resolutely, managing nine attempts worth 0.46 xG, and claimed the decisive finish with their final shot. The result leaves Milan 10 points behind the leaders.
