AC Milan 1-1 Cremonese: Frustrated Rossoneri held at home

AC Milan 1-1 Cremonese: Frustrated Rossoneri held at home by table-bottom Cremonese, with Junior Messias scored in injury time to rescue late point at San Siro.

Messias scored a last-gasp equaliser to save Stefano Pioli’s side from a humiliated display, against a relegation-threatened side, in a game thought to be easy to keep their hope on top four race.

AC Milan 1-1 Cremonese – Highlights

A win, which was mandatory, would have kept Milan level with city rivals Inter Milan in the race to Champions League spot, but Rossoneri almost got defeated.

Alexis Saelemaekers thought he could open the scoreline for his side with his early finish after 11 minutes, but VAR review ruled out the Belgium star for being offside.

Dominated but could not score, Divock Origi threatened the visitors but failed to score, as the host went into the break frustrated.

Cremonese went ahead when David Okereke got away from Malick Thiaw and Kalulu before his strike hit the bottom-left corner in front of the angry home crowd.

It was almost over for any hope of at least a point for Milan, but Messias’s free-kick woke San Siro when it found the net via a deflection in the third minute of stoppage time.

Late drama was Charles Pickel’s red card for punching Sandro Tonali, but that was it.

Milan now have won just two of their last nine league games during a crucial run of the very last few rounds to go till the end.

While their direct competitors as Lazio, Juventus, Inter and Atalanta all won the mid-week fixtures, the hope for next season’s European spot seems to be out of reach for Milan.
