Milan nearly lost to Como

The rescheduled Serie A round 24 match at San Siro between AC Milan and Como 1907 drew attention not only because of football legend Tom Brady’s presence in the stands but also due to the intense action on the pitch. Although favored, the home team struggled greatly to secure a 1-1 draw.

The first half went at a moderate pace until a sudden turning point at the 32nd minute. Goalkeeper Mike Maignan, known for his foot skills, made a careless pass just outside the penalty area. Nico Paz quickly intercepted and easily tapped the ball into an open net, giving Como the lead.
