A thrilling encounter unfolded on Monday in the aftermath of the 16th round of the Italian Serie A, as AC Milan clashed with AS Roma at San Siro in a highly anticipated showdown. The match concluded with a 2-2 scoreline, leaving no clear winner after 90 minutes. Notably, African players once again showcased their prowess, with Mehdi Benatia standing out in particular.
The Moroccan defender reaffirmed his commanding presence in the Roman defense, although it proved insufficient to maintain a clean sheet against La Louve. On the opposite side, Gervinho delivered an impressive performance, using his rapid sprints to pose numerous challenges for the Milan defense. Additionally, he earned the penalty that led to Roma’s 2-1 lead, subsequently converted by Strootman.
Despite facing adversity, the Milanese team exhibited resilience. Falling behind on multiple occasions, Allegri’s men consistently found the determination to equalize. A pivotal moment came from the Ghanaian midfielder Sulley Muntari, who secured a crucial point with a late-game equalizer.
