Maignan`s Save!
Stulic latched onto Tete Morente`s disguised pass, and his shot from a tight angle forced Maignan to parry the ball for a corner at the near post.
Ricci and Pulisic were introduced for AC Milan, replacing Saelemaekers and Loftus-Cheek. Bartesaghi, who was preparing, sat back down.
Pavlovic made a remarkable run across the field, setting up Gimenez, but the striker`s first touch was poor, allowing Tiago Gabriel to successfully block the shot.
