AC Milan vs. Palermo: Winners and Losers from Serie A Game

Milan eventually won a back-and-forth contest at San Siro on Saturday, earning their second league win of the season with a 3-2 victory over Palermo.

The Rossoneri took the lead in the 20th minute thanks to a well-crafted Carlos Bacca finish. Palermo equalised 12 minutes later through an Oscar Hiljemark header from a corner kick.

Milan regained the lead before half-time, with Giacomo Bonaventura curling home a delightful free-kick on 40 minutes. Palermo head coach Giuseppe Iachini was given a red card in the aftermath of the goal.

Palermo leveled the score again in the 72nd minute, with Hiljemark played through after an intricate passing move to slot beyond Diego Lopez for his second. However, Milan simply weren’t to be denied, and Bacca got his second of the game with 15 minutes remaining, rising to head home from a Juraj Kucka cross.

Milan held on to seal an important win that follows on from their improved performance against Inter Milan last time out.
