As it happened
AC Milan manager Stefano Pioli made seven changes to his side that lost 3-1 to Torino last weekend.
Salerniterna manager Stefano Colantuono made five changes to his side that lost 2-1 to Hellas Verona last timeout.
AC Milan started the match brightly and took the lead in the 22nd minute when Vincenzo Fiorillo made a big mistake and Rafael Leao had an easy task to put the ball into the back of the net.
It did not take long before the home team scored the second goal when Alessandro Florenzi produced a cross from a corner and found Olivier Giroud inside the box which he scored with a brilliant finish.
)
Pioli’s side continued putting pressure on the Salernitana defence and got the third but it was ruled out for offside by the VAR with the first half ending in a 2-0 lead for the home side.
The second half started and Salernitana rallied their players and pushed for a goal from a corner kick.
Junior Sambia took over corner duties and expertly found Simy, who jumped highest and coolly planted a header into the back of the net.
)
Salernitana thought they were heading for a comeback but their hopes were dashed by the home side in the 78th minute.
Christian Pulisic showed his great technique and produced a beautiful cross into the box which was headed in by Davide Calabria.
Salernitana kept believing and got another goal to make it 3-2 when Junior Sambia picked up the ball from a rebound and from the edge of the box he unleashed a low shot into the bottom right corner.
The away side were not done and got the deserved equaliser when Simy rebounded inside the box and gleefully rifled the ball low inside the left post with the game ending in a 3-3 draw.
