AC Milan temporarily returned to Inter at the top of the Italian Championship, thanks to its success (3-1) in Cagliari during the 6th day, Wednesday.
Without Mike Maignan, who remained in Milan after his recent minor thigh injury, nor Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao, replacements for the first time this season, AC Milan took time to find their bearings.
Cagliari, looking for its first victory of the season, took the opportunity to take the advantage thanks to Zito Luvumbo (29th) who took advantage of a disagreement in the Lombard defense to shoot Marco Spotiello.
This goal woke up Milan: Noah Okafor propelled the ball released by Boris Radunovic on a cross from Christian Pulisic (40th) into the Sardinian goal.
In added time of the first period, Fikayo Tomori, launched by Yacine Adli, started for the second time since his arrival at AC Milan in July 2022 and long injured in a knee, doubled the lead (45th 1st).
Jostled at the start of the second half, Stefano Pioli’s players took shelter after an hour thanks to another summer recruit, Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
After this fifth success in six matches, AC Milan totals 15 points like Inter who host Sassuolo on Wednesday evening (8:45 p.m.).
