The Chase Continues
The title battle in Serie A is officially wide open after AC Milan vs Como finished in a gritty 3-1 comeback win for the Rossoneri. Crucially, Massimiliano Allegri’s side refused to buckle under pressure. They extended their impressive unbeaten run to 19 league matches and narrowed the gap to league leaders Inter Milan to only three points.
Although Como went into the game with an unbeaten home record (5 wins and 4 draws), AC Milan’s quality eventually shone through. The team needed this win to stay in touch with Inter, who had already extended the distance to six points within the space of 24 hours.
From Scare to Dominance
The game at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia started with a surprise, but it finished with a masterclass in resilience.
- The Silencer (88′): As Como pressed for an equalizer, Rabiot capped a “Man of the Match” performance with a stunning long-range strike to lock in the 3-1 victory.
- The Scare (10′): Como struck first. Marc-Oliver Kempf climbed highest to head home, putting the hosts 1-0 up and stunning the visitors.
- The Equalizer (45′): Right before the break, Adrien Rabiot forced the issue. He earned a penalty after a foul in the box. Christopher Nkunku stepped up and calmly converted to level the score at 1-1.
- The Turnaround (55′): After the break, Milan seized control. Rafael Leao burst down the left flank and delivered a perfect chip, which Rabiot swept into the net to make it 2-1.
Adrien Rabiot
Adrien Rabiot single-handedly carried Milan across the line. The French midfielder won the penalty that turned the tide in addition to scoring the two decisive goals. His physical superiority and clutch finishing ensured that AC Milan vs Como became a statement victory rather than a setback.
Two Advantages for Milan
Despite sitting second, AC Milan possesses two clear advantages over Inter in the title run-in.
First, Allegri’s side now fights on a single front. With no European engagements or Coppa Italia distractions, their fitness levels should remain superior during the grueling final months.
Second, they have beaten the “big guns” without a loss, defeating Inter, Napoli, and Roma this season. if they can turn their 7 draws into wins, the Scudetto is well within reach.
