Milan resolved with hierarchy and defeated Como by 3-1 in one of the pending Serie A matches to sustain its pursuit of Inter Milan, which continues as the tournament leader. As reported by the Argentine News Agency, the team of Massimiliano Allegri won again after two rounds without victories and is now three points from the top of the table. The development was adverse for the Rossoneri from the start. Rafael Leao led a rapid transition and assisted with precision to Adrien Rabiot, who controlled the ball with his chest and finished with his left foot to turn the score around. Despite the attempts of Cesc Fàbregas's team, the visiting team controlled the pace and sealed the result towards the end, again with Rabiot, who scored with a low shot from outside the area. In the other match of the day, Bologna returned to victory by defeating Hellas Verona 3-2 at the Marcantonio Bentegodi stadium. However, as the first half was closing, the visiting team found the equalizer through a penalty converted by Christopher Nkunku, a goal that changed the scenario. In the second half, Como tried to take the lead, but Milan imposed its greater individual weight. The Rossoblù struck first with a counterattack finished by Gift Orban, although the home team reacted quickly with a notable left-footed strike from Riccardo Orsolini. Vincenzo Italiano's team took advantage of the rival's confusion and went to the break with a two-goal lead thanks to the goals of Jens Odgaard and Santiago Castro. In the second half, Bologna managed the difference and allowed Verona to react, which reduced the deficit through an own goal by Remo Freuler, but failed to equalize. The victory put Bologna back in the race and deepened the critical situation of Hellas Verona, which remains in last place in the table.
