AC Milan and Cagliari played to a draw in Serie A’s Week 20 on Saturday, January 11, 2025, at the famous San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy. Fresh off their triumph in the Italian Super Cup, Milan was keen to build on that success and move closer to the Champions League positions. However, they were held to a draw at home by a resilient Cagliari side. The Rossoneri controlled the first half but only managed to break the deadlock early in the second half with a goal from Morata. Cagliari quickly responded with an equalizer from Zortea. Milan pushed hard for a winner, coming close twice with Abraham, but ultimately couldn’t secure the victory.

In the end, both teams settled for a point, which was a more satisfying outcome for Cagliari. They now sit on 18 points, while Milan matches Bologna with 28 points.

The action starts…

AC Milan opened the scoring in the 51st minute when Alvaro Morata found the back of the net against Cagliari’s goalkeeper, Elia Caprile. Theo Hernandez sprinted down the left flank and sent a cross into the penalty area. Christian Pulisic took a quick shot that hit the post, but Morata was quick to react and capitalized on the rebound to score!

Cagliari brought the score to 1-1 in the 55th minute. Nadir Zortea found the back of the net with a right-footed strike from outside the box, sending the ball into the bottom left corner past Milan’s goalkeeper Mike Maignan, thanks to an assist from Mattia Felici.

✅    Stats before the game:

Milan has gone 13 games without a loss against Cagliari in Serie A, with 10 wins and 3 draws. However, after their first leg ended in a 3-3 draw, the Rossoneri risk not winning either match against the Sardinians this season, which would be a first since the 1999/2000 season when they also had two draws.

In the 2000s, Milan played Cagliari at home 18 times in Serie A, scoring 46 goals and conceding 11, winning 17 of those matches. No other team has been defeated more often at San Siro during this period, with Lazio being the only other team to match that record.

Cagliari, fresh off a victory against Monza, hasn’t won back-to-back Serie A games since March 2024, and in their last two successful outings, they lost the following match. Milan has drawn three of their last four home league games, including the last two, and they haven’t had three consecutive home draws in Serie A since January 2020.

Sergio Conceição started his tenure as Milan manager with two wins in the Super Cup; the last Milan coach to win their first three games across all competitions was Arrigo Sacchi in August 1987. Conceição will be the second Portuguese coach to manage Milan in Serie A, following Paulo Fonseca. The last two coaches before him did not win their league debuts, with Cristian Brocchi being the last to do so in April 2016 against Sampdoria. In the last two Super Cup matches, Milan came from behind to win, but throughout the first half of the season, they only managed to come back from a deficit three times, resulting in three draws and no victories.
