Milan Stages a Superb Comeback Against Parma
AC Milan pulled off a stunning comeback to secure a 3-2 victory over Parma at the San Siro. Under the guidance of Sérgio Conceição, the Rossoneri showed resilience and determination to turn the game around in stoppage time.
The match started on a shaky note for Milan, as Parma took an early lead through Franco Cancellieri. However, Christian Pulisic leveled the score with a precise penalty kick in the first half, keeping the hosts in the game.
As the match neared its conclusion, Milan found themselves trailing again due to a defensive error, allowing Antonio Del Prato to score from close range. It seemed like Parma would walk away with the points, but Milan had other plans.
In the 92nd minute, Tijjani Reijnders equalized with a composed finish after a one-on-one opportunity. Just moments later, Samuel Chukwueze became the hero, scoring the winning goal in a chaotic scramble to secure all three points for Milan.
