Reports from Football Italia
A spectacular Ismael Bennacer volley consolidated Milan’s leadership with victory in Sardinia, but only the crossbar denied Cagliari in the final minute.
The Rossoneri were top of the table after back-to-back 1-0 wins and had Theo Hernandez available after suspension, but lost Sandro Tonali, Daniel Maldini, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Simon Kjaer. The Sardinians were right in the thick of relegation danger again after two consecutive defeats. Daniele Baselli had COVID-19, with Nahitan Nandez, Kevin Strootman and Sebastian Walukiewicz injured.
