Nit is not easy for AC Milan to start carburaging under the technical command of the Portuguese Ruben Amorim. This Sunday was one more trip on the Serie Italy, this time in front of the Sassuolo, in a complicated journey, as the Italians had won the two home games they had played so far.
In a match to count for the sixth day of the azzurri championship, the international Portuguese Gonçalo Ramos was called to the title, where it was hoped that he could even continue the ‘selective vein’ that he had demonstrated in the national selection of Portugal.
The meeting ended up with a great offensive ascendant of the rossneri group, who owned and mastered the first part, with several opportunities for danger, which ended up not having the desired direction, which linked the null to the interval.
Despite an initial 45 minutes of quality, Ruben Amorim proceeded to the withdrawal of Pervis Estupiñan, who had seen a yellow card and was a risk of expulsion to the side of AC Milan, which counted on the introduction of veteran Luka Modric to command the baton in the midfield.
And this introduction was even beneficial for the Milan assembly, which reached the first goal of the match with the assistance of the international and captain of the Croatia selection, who served the French Adrien Rabiot to make a shot from outside the big area and mark, at a well-done time, at 63 minutes.
But the rossoneri party lasted very little time, since Sassuolo showed five minutes later the reason why he had only won for the championship at Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore. Cas Odenthal made the draw goal by finding a lost ball in the large area of AC Milan, not begging to shoot counting and return equality to the scorer.
Ruben Amorim still tried to launch some weapons since the bench of alternates, but he could not score any more, even having some luck, as Thorstvedt still scored, but saw the bid be cancelled by the referee, who whistled before for offensive foul play.
Sassuolo still had another chance at the last shot of the game, but the dangerous kick went into the hands of Mike Maignan, who still had to struggle not to let AC Milan have another goal and have a total hecatombe in the final minutes.
With this tie, Ruben Amorim sees his team not taking advantage of AS Rome's slip, holding the fifth place of Serie A, with 12 points added, aggravating its way out of the house, where it already takes three draws in three games. Sassuolo was able to cement the position to 10, although it is still at risk because Atalanta has not yet played for the sixth day.
