AC Milan secured a remarkable 3-2 victory over Parma on Sunday, with two goals in stoppage time that turned a tense situation into a jubilant celebration at the San Siro.
With the match appearing to be slipping away in favor of Parma, thanks to Enrico Delprato’s 80th-minute goal, AC Milan stunned their home crowd by finding the net twice in the dying moments.
The game, which had been filled with frustration for Milan’s supporters, was transformed when Tijjani Reijnders scored a dramatic equalizer in the 91st minute, followed by Samuel Chukwueze’s last-gasp winner moments later.
The victory pushed AC Milan into sixth place, just five points behind Lazio, who occupy the fourth spot. Milan now looks ahead to their crucial Champions League match against Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday, aiming for direct qualification to the competition’s last 16, before facing city rivals Inter Milan in a highly anticipated derby next weekend.
Chukwueze’s decisive goal, which came after a scrappy finish, completely changed the mood in the stadium and provided a massive morale boost for the team. This win is especially significant as Milan is gearing up for some high-stakes fixtures in both domestic and European competitions.
The match, however, was not without its moments of tension. In the 80th minute, Parma’s Delprato capitalized on a rebound after AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan had made a crucial save to deny Drissa Camara.
The visitors’ goal seemed like it could be enough for the win, leading to a frustrated reaction from Milan’s fans, some of whom turned their attention to the directors’ box, sarcastically applauding the club’s management.
Before Reijnders’ equalizer, the home crowd had only been vocal during a controversial moment when Strahinja Pavlovic thought he had scored the equalizer. However, the goal was ruled out for offside, and the frustration among Milan fans grew.
