However, Massimiliano Allegri's team equalized before the break, thanks to a goal from Davide Bartesaghi, who scored his first Serie A goal. The unlikely substitute ghosted in at the back post to slot home Ruben Loftus-Cheek's cross.

After the interval, Milan took the lead, with Bartesaghi scoring again, but Sassuolo refused to give up. They increased their pressure, and eventually, Armand Lauriente scored the equalizing goal with around 15 minutes remaining.

The match was a closely contested and evenly matched contest, with both teams creating chances throughout. In the end, the result was a fair reflection of the teams' overall performance.
