The first half of the Champions League match between Milan and Red Star has endedat half-time the partial result was 1-0 in favor of the Rossoneri.
Two injuries, then Leao unlocks her – Great opportunity for Milan to extend their European streak of successes and put themselves in a firing position. Fonseca knows this and it can also be seen in the formation choices, which in fact involve turnover only on the right defensive flank, while in the attacking midfield there are Musah and Loftus-Cheek in place of the injured Pulisic. The Devil then builds the first actions and manages to kick into the target defended by Gutesa with Reijnders and Leao already in the first minutes, but shortly after the quarter of an hour a shiver runs down the Rossoneri’s backs: Fonseca and his team are saved by the crossbar which The young talent Maksimovic’s left-footed shot slows down. Bad news for Fonseca and for the Rossoneri universe after half the first half: first Pulisic’s replacement, Loftus-Cheek, gets hurt, two minutes later Morata also withdraws due to physical problems. In their place come Chukwueze and Abraham, who immediately becomes dangerous as soon as he enters. However, in the meantime the pace has collapsed and it is not easy for the Rossoneri to find the key to the problem. A flash is needed to interrupt the offensive monotony and this arrives in the 43rd minute, with an amazing play by Leao who in a few moments tames a deep throw from Fofana and scores the 1-0 with a left-footed shot under the crossbar. Thus (and with saves from Gutesa on Abraham and Fofana) the first half also ends.
