MILAN: Santiago Gimenez and Christian Pulisic powered AC Milan to a crucial 3-1 home win over Bologna today, a victory that not only kept their slim top four hopes flickering but also set the stage for a tantalising Coppa Italia final clash on Wednesday.
The result lifted Milan to eighth on 60 points, three behind Juventus in fourth, who will face sixth-placed Lazio, also on 63 points, tomorrow.
Bologna sit seventh with 62 points.
The match acted as a thrilling dress rehearsal for Wednesday’s Coppa Italia final, where the two sides will face off once more at the iconic Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
After a mostly uneventful first half, Riccardo Orsolini took charge four minutes after the break, cutting in from the right and drilling a low shot into the corner to put Bologna in front.
Gimenez brought Milan level in the 73rd minute, latching onto a diverted cross from Pulisic and, left unmarked in the box, he slotted home with calm precision.
Pulisic then completed the turnaround for Milan with 11 minutes remaining, capitalising on a blocked shot that fell into his path while Gimenez scored Milan&#8217;s third in stoppage-time.
Witness football history in Malaysia as Manchester United take on the Asean All-Stars – it&#8217;s the clash you can&#8217;t afford to miss.
