AC Milan Held to Draw by Serie A Newcomers Pisa

AC Milan once again failed to overcome a newly promoted side, drawing 2–2 with Pisa in a dramatic Serie A clash. The hosts got off to a flying start when Rafael Leão opened the scoring in the 7th minute, putting Milan ahead early at the San Siro.
After the break, substitute Juan Cuadrado made an instant impact — the Colombian winger earned a penalty and confidently converted it himself to level the score. Moments later, Leão came agonizingly close to restoring Milan’s lead, striking the crossbar with a powerful effort. Pisa’s resilience paid off four minutes from time when M'Bala Nzola completed a stunning comeback, making it 2–1 to the Tuscan side.
However, deep into stoppage time, Atékémé rescued a point for the Rossoneri with a last-gasp strike, setting the final score at 2–2. It’s another frustrating result for Massimiliano Allegri’s men, who once again dropped valuable points against a Serie A debutant .
