Welcome to the direct text of Milan-Crotone, a match valid for matchday 21 of Serie A.14:40
Today’s game is what is called a spin: top of the class versus last. Milan, in this second moment because Inter played on Friday, arrives with 46 points and can, if they win, return to the top with +2. Crotone, on the other hand, has 12 points and is looking for points at all costs, aware that today it will be a real company.14:44
Here are the official formations! Milan takes the field with the 4-2-3-1: Donnarumma – Calabria, Tomori, Romagnoli, Theo Hernandez – Meité, Kessié – Saelemaekers, Rafael Leao, Rebic – Ibrahimovic. Available: Tatarusanu, A. Donnarumma, Gabbia, Dalot, Krunic, Calhanoglu, Castillejo, Hauge, Maldini, Mandzukic. 14:48
Crotone lined up with a 3-5-2 made up as follows: Cordaz – Djidji, Golemic, Luperto – Rispoli, Zanellato, Benali, Vulic, Reca – Di Carmine, Ounas. Available: Festa, Crespi, Magallan, Marrone, Rojas, Petriccione, Rojas, D’Aprile, Pedro Pereira, Henrique, Rivière, Simy.14:50
Pioli confirmed as a whole the 11 seen in Bologna in the last round, with the sole exception of Meité who takes the place of the injured Tonali. Calhanoglu is available again but starts from the bench, while Bennacer is out as is Diaz. Stroppa must give up a disqualified Messias, and in attack he lines up without real forwards, leaving out both Simy and Rivière: room for newcomers Di Carmine and Ounas. Many changes in the face of the disastrous defeat in the direct clash with Genoa.14:56
The singer Luca Pairetto leads the meeting, assisted by Cicero and Bresmes. Fourth referee Ghersini, in the VAR is Massa with Alassio.14:57
Reca gave up last, so Pedro Pereira takes his place in Crotone’s 11th outing.15:03
THE WHISTLE BEGINS! First ball played by Milan.15:04
Immediately Milan in offensive projection, Kessié enters the area and looks for a center at the far post for Ibra. Golemic advance.15:06
Ounas starts on the right and centers, on the right from the edge: well over the crossbar.15:07
Calabrian goal annulled for offside. Good action from Milan with Leao who had provided the assistance with the heel. The offside is from Ibrahimovic who had made the key pass, which is the pass before the assist.15:10
OUNAS! He receives on the right side of the area, turns very well and looks to the left around, deflected by Donnarumma over the crossbar!15:13
GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CROTONE! Cross from the right and Di Carmine escapes behind Tomori to hit his head. Slightly out, he hit the area only with his feet on the ground!15:14
Golemic blocks a shot at Leao, served by Theo after a sensational progression.15:15
Fun game so far, Crotone is playing openly, without giving up building from below.15:18
Cordaz covers the mirror well, with a Calabrian header to the far post. Milan corner.15:20
Beautiful action by Crotone, directed by Ounas. Di Carmine gets into his pocket vertically, but his shot is blocked by Tomori.15:21
Ibra tries a free kick from the edge: complete barrier.15:23
MILAN OPPORTUNITY! Rebic enters the area, detours and serves the Saelemaekers that were coming in tow, but Leao annoys him and he does not hit well! It was a great opportunity.15:29
Crotone is still very alive, aggressive in the middle of the field.15:33
Rispoli’s descent to the right, a deviated cross in the middle that rises dangerously but there Donnarumma arrives.15:34
TARGET! AC MILAN 1-0 Crotone! ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC NETWORK! Perfect one-two in the area with Leao, then the Swede opens the inside and, from the left, finds the far post!

Crotone moment of disorder that risked combining a defensive mess, baptizing a ball that instead stayed on the field.15:40
Yellow card for Alexis Saelemaekers, foul on Pereira near the area.15:59
Ibra stopped offside but looked behind the line. In any case, he had searched for a passage downtown that had not found his companion.15:42
Di Carmine heads in the center of the area, also directs well, but fails to impart strength.15:46
DOUBLE WHISTLE! Milan-Crotone 1-0.15:49
Fun first half at San Siro, with lots of offensive actions from both sides. Crotone showed great wit, playing openly and trusting the stage from below. Inspired by Ounas and very active Di Carmine as an offensive reference, the best opportunity falls on his head, left alone in the center of the area. Milan made several transitions on the counterattack and then the goal came with a double from Leao-Ibra, with the Swede making no mistake against Cordaz. 15:51
Crotone has been able to create some problems for Milan, he has played a good game so far and Stroppa’s choice to rely on two not pure forwards is wreaking havoc on the Rossoneri defense, with Tomori taking a couple of times behind him. In any case, there are alternatives on the bench: Simy and Rivière are ready. Milan will continue to play their game and will certainly seek the safety goal. If the game goes downhill, it would be the right opportunity to give minutes to important players, who will have to be prepared when the Europa League starts again and the commitments will be many.15:55
Immediately a substitution in Milan: outside Saelemaekers, inside Samuel Castillejo.16:05
LET’S START ONE MORE TIME!16:06
Crotone’s defense is very careful in this beginning of recovery16:11
Meité’s attempt from the edge: central.16:11
With Vulic’s center percussion, he reaches into the area, but then a rebound turns him out of favor and allows Romagnoli to intervene.16:14
Theo goes down to the area and claims a penalty, for Pairetto there is nothing.16:18
Prolonged action of Milan in the opposite field, which in the end, however, does not find adequate space.16:21
MIRACLE OF CORDAZ! Rebic’s ball from the left for Leao in insertion: low plane in the right corner, but Cordaz falls in a split second and deflects for a corner! What a parade!16:23
Change in Milan: Leão leaves, Hakan Çalhanoğlu enters.16:23
Theo with his left from the edge: he looks for the intersection of the posts but cannot find it.16:23
Change in Crotone: Ounas leaves, Emmanuel Rivière enters.16:24
TARGET! AC MILAN 2-0 Crotone! IBRAHIMOVIC NETWORK! Theo breaks with the power of the left and puts it low. Ibra is only in the small area and all he has to do is support the network.
