Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:

AC Milan, 1st position with 49 points and a positive goal difference of +22
The duel for salvation against leadership. Spezia win the Serie A Week 22 game defeating AC Milan on Saturday 13 February 2021 at the Alberto Picco Stadium in Spezia, Italy. The victory helps Spezia to avoid falling down to the relegation zone reaching 24 points. AC Milan must forget this painful defeat and prepare for the UEFA Europa League next week against Crvena zvezda on Thursday 18 February in Belgrade. Simply put, Spezia got a well deserved victoy. Milan failed to fire a single shot on target for their first Serie A match since August 2019.
It is Spezia to open the score in the 57th minute. Giulio Maggiore defeating AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma from very close range with a left footed shot in the center.
