Just in the nick of time! Cagliari pulled off a draw against AC Milan in the Serie A Week 12 clash on Saturday, November 9, 2024, at the Unipol Domus Stadium in Cagliari, Italy. This result brings Cagliari’s total to 10 points, putting them level with Como and Genoa. However, the situation is still quite risky for the rossoblu, as they are just one point ahead of Lecce and two points clear of Monza and Venezia, with Monza having a game in hand. On the other hand, Milan goes into the break with 18 points and is in danger of losing ground in the race for a Champions League spot.

Francesco Camarda, at just 16 years and 244 days old, is now the second youngest player to start a Serie A match for Milan during the three-point era, following in the footsteps of Gigio Donnarumma, who debuted at 16 years and 242 days on October 25, 2015, against Sassuolo. Camarda is set to make his first start for Milan, as confirmed by Fonseca recently. With Morata unavailable and Abraham not performing at his peak, the Portuguese coach put his faith in the rising star from the Rossoneri youth academy.

After a stellar showing at the Bernabeu, Leao is back in the starting lineup for the league, playing in an attacking midfield role alongside Pulisic and Chukwueze. Reijnders and Fofana will anchor the midfield, while Maignan will be protected by Pavlovic and Thiaw in defense, with Theo on the left and Emerson Royal on the right.

The action starts…

In a thrilling start, Cagliari took the lead with a quick goal in the 2nd minute! Nadir Zortea scored with a well-placed right-footed shot into the bottom left corner. The assist came from Sebastiano Luperto, who capitalized on a corner conceded by Emerson Royal. Zortea, previously with Frosinone, made a fantastic first-time strike from inside the area after a slight deflection from Luperto, leaving Maignan with no chance as it found the far post. A brilliant shot that the French keeper could only retrieve from the back of the net.

AC Milan leveled the score at 1-1 in the 16th minute. Rafael Leão, the Portuguese forward, found the back of the net with a right-footed shot aimed at the bottom left corner, leaving Cagliari’s goalkeeper Alen Sherri with no chance. The assist came from Tijjani Reijnders, who delivered a fantastic ball that sailed over the Cagliari defense. Leão skillfully timed his run and executed a perfect lob that crossed the goal line.

AC Milan took the lead once more in the 69th minute. Tammy Abraham scored from just a few feet away, placing a right-footed shot into the bottom left corner. After the Rossoneri’s quick restart, Loftus-Cheek set up Pulisic on the right side. Pulisic’s left-footed attempt was saved by Sherri, but the rebound landed at Abraham’s feet, allowing him to score into an empty net. Milan is leading again!

What a moment! Cagliari leveled the score in the 89th minute. Gabriele Zappa delivered a fantastic right-footed shot to the top right corner, thanks to an assist from Tommaso Augello.
