At San Siro, a Milan team, at times ostentatiously superior, but naive and not bright enough to allow the Norwegians of Bodo Glimt, at the end of an applauded action, to pass first in the lead thanks to a goal by Junker (15'), passed the preliminary round of the Europa League with the score 3 to 2. One minute after the goal immediately, AC Milan with Calhanoglu draws with an impregnable surface-to-air missile (1-1). The number 10 Rossoneri drags Zlatan Ibrahimović's orphaned team with two goals and an assist for little Colombo (his professional debut). The Rossoneri played well and took the lead with Colombo (born in 2002) taking away the enthusiasm of the first minutes from the Norwegians. Milan's quality is evident with Theo Hernandez on the left and Kessié's impetuosity in midfield (also in the defensive phase). At the beginning of the shooting, Calhanoglu's trio (50'), author of a perfect right hand on Castillejo's football. Hauge shortens to 55'. Mister Pioli took some risks especially in the restarts of the opponents and opted for the entry of Daniele Maldini (a defender), who had a goal annulled by a millimetre. In the final, Bodo Glimt touches the draw several times, but AC Milan resists bypassing the third preliminary round of the Europa League. Now in the Europa League playoffs, the last step before the group stage, AC Milan will face the Portuguese on the Rio Ave (victorious on penalties): the group pass is up for grabs.
