New era for Milan clubs
Print Edition
CRISTIAN Zapata’s stoppage-time equalizer prevented the new era at AC Milan from getting off to a losing start on Saturday as the Rossoneri fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2 at city rival Inter Milan.
Antonio Candreva and Mauro Icardi scored in the first half but Alessio Romagnoli reduced the deficit in the 83rd before Zapata’s leveler in the 7th minute of stoppage time.
Milan remained 6th in Serie A, two points above Inter in the race for the final qualifying position for the UEFA Europa League.
This was the first match since the US$800 million takeover of Milan was completed last Thursday by Chinese-led Rossoneri Sport Luxembourg, ending Silvio Berlusconi’s 31-year reign.
Inter, which is also owned by a Chinese group, was taken over last year by Suning.
“It was an advert for the East, it was a hard-fought match, which gave the fans emotions — both positive and negative,” Milan coach Vincenzo Montella said. “I think Milan and Inter offered up a great spectacle.
“This team gave the last victory to Berlusconi, against Palermo, and also the last trophy and that’s a privilege. A win would have been better today but a draw which arrived in this way and for how the team played is a good start.”
New Milan president, Li Yonghong, was in the stands for the derby match.
Elsewhere, it was: Roma 1, Atalanta 1; Juventus 2, Pescara 0; Genoa 2, Lazio 2; Empoli 2, Fiorentina 1; Sassuolo 2, Sampdoria 1, Cagliari 4, Chievo 0; Torino 1, Crotone 1; and Bologna 0, Palermo 0.
