AC Milan erased a two-goal deficit in a second-half barrage to stun league-leading Juventus 4-2 at the San Siro on Tuesday.

The dramatic turnaround prevented Juventus from extending their lead at the top of Serie A, keeping the *Bianconeri* seven points clear of second-place Lazio. While Juventus entered the second half appearing in total control, the match turned on its head during a frantic five-minute window that propelled AC Milan into fifth place in the standings.

• Juventus held a 2-0 lead after goals from Adrien Rabiot and Cristiano Ronaldo, but AC Milan responded with four unanswered goals.
• The win moved AC Milan into fifth place in the Serie A standings while limiting Juventus’s advantage over Lazio to seven points.

The Second-Half Collapse

After a scoreless first half, Juventus seized command quickly. In the 47th minute, Adrien Rabiot embarked on a solo run from his own half, finishing with a strike into the top corner. Cristiano Ronaldo soon doubled the advantage in the 53rd minute, slotting home a pass from Juan Cuadrado. Juventus manager Maurizio Sarri described the subsequent defensive lapse as a “blackout,” noting his team had been in total control for the first hour of play before the momentum shift led to the collapse.

We all believed, even when we were down 2-0… We didn’t want to settle for a draw.

Milan’s Offensive Surge

The momentum shifted permanently in the 62nd minute when Zlatan Ibrahimović converted a penalty following a handball in the box. The equalizer arrived just four minutes later, with Franck Kessié finding the net after being set up by Ibrahimović. Milan wasted no time taking the lead; one minute after leveling the score, substitute Rafael Leão beat goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny at the near post. Ante Rebić capped the result in the 80th minute, finishing from point-blank range after a pass from Giacomo Bonaventura to seal the 4-2 victory officiated by M. Guida.

Table Implications

Milan will look to maintain this momentum when they head to Naples this Sunday to face Napoli, a critical fixture as the club fights to protect its hold on a Europa League qualification spot.
