Serie A – Milan-Salernitana 1-1: Giroud opens, Dia draws. Ochoa imposes a draw on the Rossoneri

A haunted day ends at San Siro for the teams competing for second place. Milan can’t catch Inter and have to settle for a point against Salernitana. The Rossoneri keep possession of the ball, but risk the counterattack of the Campania players. Kastanos has the opportunity to take the lead, Dia’s run in the open field is even more tempting, closed in a sensational way by Maignan outside the area. Just as the first half expired Giroud finds the winning turn of the head and makes it 1-0. In the 61st minute Bradaric serves to Yes the equalizer, taking advantage of an inexplicable hole in the center of the home defense. In the final some sensational episodes in the Campania area, including a save by Kalulu with his arm on an attempt by Florenzi.

The social moment

MVP

OCHOA – He can do nothing about Giroud’s close shot. In the finale he dons the red superhero cape and flies to save his sons on at least three occasions.

Fantasy football

Promoted: GIROUD – Giants in the middle of the penalty area, imposing his presence and his quality in acting as a point of reference. Tonight as long as he was on the pitch he took Milan on his shoulders, literally.

Failed: THIAW – Lots of mistakes, big and small: Dia graces him in the first half, then doesn’t forgive his hole in the second half. Too many oversights, too many blackouts.
