MILAN: Young Argentina forward Nico Paz continued his hot form for Como with his ninth goal of the season in a 1-1 draw at AC Milan on Wednesday, which prevented the rossoneri from making significant inroads into Inter Milan&#8217;s Serie A lead.
Former Real Madrid player Paz has also mustered six assists in his 25 league matches this season.
His goal gave Como the lead just after the half-hour mark, but Portugal forward Rafael Leao earned Milan a share of the spoils with an equaliser midway through the second half.
The stalemate for Milan cut their city rivals Inter&#8217;s lead to seven points and extended Massimiliano Allegri&#8217;s team&#8217;s unbeaten league run to 24 games.
But Inter&#8217;s run of 12 wins and a draw from their last 13 matches in Serie A has seen them storm clear at the top of the table.
The point was enough to move Como above Atalanta into sixth spot and a European competition qualification position for Cesc Fabregas&#8217;s men.
