During the Serie A match that took place on Saturday evening, AC Milan defeated Sampdoria with a score of 2:1. The guests started the match superbly. In the 6th minute, Junior Messias scored after receiving a pass from Rafael Leao. At the beginning of the second half, Milan encountered troubles. In the 47th minute, Rafael Leao received his second yellow card and had to leave the field. Furthermore, in the 57th minute, Sampdoria managed to equalize the score. Filip Djuricic, who had hit the opponents' crossbar in the first half, this time did not miss, sending the ball into the net with a great header. However, not even ten minutes passed before the referee awarded a penalty to Sampdoria. Olivier Giroud successfully converted the penalty in the 67th minute. After these matches, AC Milan currently holds the second position in the league table. In the meantime, Sampdoria started the season in a very uninspiring way and currently sits in 18th place.
