What looked like being the final blow in a disappointing afternoon came with two minutes left, as Bartesaghi saw a low cross diverted behind for a corner kick. He went to the ground holding the back of his leg, and needed to come off due to a muscular issue.
Then, as the corner was taken short and whipped to the far post by Modric, the ball skimmed off the head of Koni De Winter then hit Strahinja Pavlovic and nestled inside the net. Pavlovic ran straight over to celebrate with Bartesaghi in front of the away end, and after a VAR check for handball the goal was given.
Then, as Cremonese piled bodies forward in search of a last-minute equaliser, Milan sprung a two-on-zero break with Nkunku the one in possession and Leao at his side, and only Audero to beat. The Frenchman rather selflessly square it to his strike partner who tapped into an empty net to put the finishing touches on a 2-0 win.
