And the away trip to Stadio Via del mare quickly turned into a nightmare for last season champions with two goals before first half reached the half an hour mark.

Federico Di Francesco almost doubled the lead at home if the Italian did not fire the ball wide from Valentine Gendrey’s long cross.

While Milan failed to create any possible goalscoring chances, the host succeeded in making it 2-0 in the 23rd minute, thanks to Federico Baschirotto’s header into the right corner.

Second half came with a ultimate order for Milan to score with the determination to settle for a win, not a draw.

And Rossoneri reduced the arrears after the break when Rafael Leao scored a wonderful goal as he picked up a rebound from Falcone.

Calabria headed nicely in the 70th minute gave Milan some hope to complete the comeback, but the third goal did not come, either for both side.
