AC Milan were so close to winning a third derby in a row against their rivals Inter, but ultimately suffered late heartbreak and had to settle for a draw.
Milan went into the break a goal ahead thanks to Tijjani Reijnders’ goal from close range after Rafael Leao had a cross parried, but Stefan De Vrij popped up in the 93rd minute to equalise and ensure it ended 1-1.
Today’s front pages…
It means lost ground on Fiorentina and Juventus who each won earlier on Sunday, but in truth it was not a result Milan can feel too gutted about given Inter hit the post three times and conducted a siege in the second half.
La Gazzetta dello Sport: “At the last gasp. What a Sunday. Inter level against Milan in the 93rd minute. Reijnders opens the derby, three posts, Inzaghi’s anger: ‘We should have had a penalty’.”
Corriere dello Sport: “All in the final minutes: Inter comeback against Milan. Roma catch the leaders. De Vrij avoids another defeat and the Spaniard blocks Napoli.”
Tuttosport: “Milan: dream interrupted, the exorcist De Vrij emerges. Draw in minute 93 after hitting the woodwork three times and having a penalty denied.”
QS: “Derby, a heart-pounding show. Milan-Inter 1-1 at the end of the match: Reijnders first, De Vrij already 93′.”
Damn boi, we need to dictate the game better, hold the ball and tiki taka so we don’t concede last minuten goal like that, but question is who can do it.
