"An almost perfect game plan executed excellently by Milan, there are several reasons to like the performance against the Giallorossi. Even on a personal level, there was so much to praise from different players. Rafael Leao continued to show his maturity, and the team all played their roles. However, the limelight will go on Mike Maignan for his penalty save and Strahinja Pavlovic, whose time with the Rossoneri is being defined by consistent, strong performances, this time crowned by a goal."
"A short free kick and a penalty kick that Youssouf Fofana gave away in the span of a couple of minutes were the only real threats, but fortunately for him, Maignan bailed him out with a save on Dybala's penalty kick. All things considered, there was definitely luck involved. Nevertheless, a clean sheet is a clean sheet. Excluding a few moments with individual errors coming from Koni De Winter and Davide Bartesaghi early on, and Fofana late on, it was smooth sailing for Milan."
AC Milan secured a crucial 3-0 win over Roma at San Siro, strengthening their Scudetto chances. The team executed a near-perfect game plan with high individual performances, notably from Rafael Leao, Mike Maignan and Strahinja Pavlovic. Roma controlled the first 25 minutes but Milan reorganized and limited chances thereafter, especially in the second half. A short free kick and a penalty were the only significant threats; Maignan saved Dybala's penalty. Defensive pairing Matteo Gabbia and Pavlovic were solid, while Luka Modric, Samuele Ricci and Alexis Saelemaekers worked to close spaces. Occasional individual errors occurred, but Milan kept a clean sheet.
