The battle for the Scudetto is a mission. AC Milan win the Serie A Week 29 game defeating Empoli on Saturday 12 March 2022 at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy. Milan remain in the 1st position reaching 63 points thanks to the goal by Pierre Kalulu. It was not an easy win. Empoli battled having a couple of chances to bring home three key points for the run-up to the Scudetto. The Rossoneri resisted. In Milan’s last three Serie A home games, neither the Rossoneri nor their opponents have managed to score more than one goal (three total goals); in the period, from January 23 onwards, only Genoa (two) saw fewer goals in their home games.
Well done, AC Milan Coach Stefano Pioli https://t.co/hDXoLzXYvf
