Milan survive late Torino scare after decisive second-half double

AC Milan scored twice in the space of three minutes to secure a dramatic 2-1 victory over Torino in Serie A on Sunday, surviving a late scare after the hosts pulled one back in stoppage time.

The match was goalless at half-time, but the contest changed quickly after the interval as Milan took control and established a two-goal advantage.

Sisi opened the scoring for the visitors in the 64th minute, taking advantage of an opportunity to give the Rossoneri the lead and put Torino under immediate pressure.

Milan then struck again just three minutes later. France midfielder Adrien Rabiot followed up the move to score in the 67th minute, doubling the advantage and leaving Torino with a difficult task if they were to rescue anything from the match.

Late Torino pressure

The home side refused to concede defeat and were rewarded for their persistence in the third minute of added time. Che Adams reduced the deficit, bringing Torino back into the contest and setting up a tense finish at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.

The late goal lifted the atmosphere and gave Torino renewed belief that they could complete a comeback of their own. The hosts pushed forward in search of an equaliser, but Milan defended their lead through the remaining minutes and held on for an important away win.

Milan’s victory was secured by the rapid sequence of goals early in the second half, when Sisi and Rabiot found the net within three minutes of one another. Torino’s late response ensured the closing stages were far from comfortable, but Adams’ effort ultimately proved insufficient to change the result.

The three points represent a valuable boost for Milan’s Serie A campaign. Torino, meanwhile, were left to reflect on missed opportunities and a narrow defeat after coming close to salvaging a draw in the final moments.

The match was accompanied by a social-media clip highlighting Rabiot’s second goal, with the France international praised for following the ball and finishing quickly to extend Milan’s lead.
