👉  AC Milanwon the Serie A Week 22 match against Parma on Sunday, January 26, 2025, at the iconic San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy.  Milan staged a thrilling comeback scoring two goals in injury time to secure a 3-2 victory.  Christian Pulisic converted a penalty, while Reijnders and Chukwueze added to the tally.  Parma had initially taken the lead twice with goals from Cancellieri and Delprato. Just think about it! In a historic moment for Serie A, Milan achieved an amazing comeback, scoring two goals after the 90th minute to clinch their first-ever win from behind!

With this win, Milan climbs to 6th place, now tied with Bologna at 34 points, just 3 points behind Juventus. Lazio, currently in 4th, is 5 points ahead but still has a match to play. The Rossoneri remain in contention for a Champions League spot. On the other hand, Parma, who aimed for victory, now finds themselves just one point above the relegation zone.

Milan’s three crucial points came from a fierce display of determination in the final moments. However, this victory shouldn’t overshadow the ongoing challenges for Conceiçao’s squad, including a lack of goals from their forwards and the ease with which opponents penetrate their defense. Additionally, the situation with Leao and Theo Hernandez, who was substituted at halftime, raises concerns. As for Parma, they performed admirably until the 90th minute but faltered dramatically in injury time.

Looking ahead, Milan will take on Inter in the highly anticipated Milan derby on February 2nd at 18, while Parma will face Lecce in a crucial relegation battle on January 31st at 20:45.

Milan heads into this match following a 1-0 victory at home against Girona, which has lifted Conceiçao’s squad into the Champions League’s top 8, putting them in a strong position to qualify directly for the round of 16.

Next week, on Wednesday the 29th, they will take on Dinamo Zagreb in an away match.

The action starts…

Parma took the lead in the 24th minute when Matteo Cancellieri found the back of the net with a left-footed shot aimed at the bottom left corner. Emanuele Valeri provided the assist. As Theo Hernandez slid to the ground, Cancellieri skillfully controlled the ball, shifted to the left, and curled a shot that left Milan’s goalkeeper, Mike Maignan, unable to respond.

AC Milan leveled the score at 1-1 in the 38th minute when Christian Pulisic successfully converted a penalty with a right-footed shot aimed at the bottom left corner. The penalty was awarded after a foul by Zion Suzuki. Pulisic, known for his precision, sent the ball to the right of Suzuki, who anticipated the shot but couldn’t quite get there. This goal brought Milan back into the match after Cancellieri had given the opposing team an early lead.

Parma surged ahead again in the 80th minute, with Enrico Delprato finding the back of the net with a simple tap-in. He couldn’t miss, especially after Maignan’s stunning save from Camara’s attempt left the goal wide open.

A late goal in the 92nd minute to equalize for the 2-2.

What an incredible turnaround! AC Milan clinched the winning goal in the nail-biting 95th minute. Samuel Chukwueze found the net from just a few feet away with a left-footed shot into the bottom left corner, thanks to an assist from Strahinja Pavlovic. The Rossoneri made a stunning comeback in the dying moments, with Chukwueze’s knee catching Suzuki off guard after Pavlovic’s header. Two goals in stoppage time made it a thrilling finish, and the former Villarreal player was right where he needed to be.
