AC Milan secured a crucial victory against Torino, winning 3-2 in the match played at San Siro. The Rossoneri started the game on the back foot, with Torino creating threats through Vlasic and Ismajli. However, in the 37th minute, Pavlovic scored a fantastic long-range goal, putting AC Milan ahead. Torino reacted immediately, and after a save by Maignan on Zapata, Simeone equalized in the 44th minute on the rebound. In the second half, AC Milan shifted gears: Rabiot scored to make it 2-1 in the 54th minute with an assist from Pulisic, followed by Fofana extending the lead in the 56th minute, taking advantage of a passive Torino defense. Despite D'Aversa's substitutions giving Torino new energy, Maignan stopped another chance from Simeone. In the final moments, Gimenez returned to the pitch after months of absence, and in the 82nd minute, VAR awarded a penalty to Torino for a foul by Pavlovic on Simeone, with Vlasic converting to make it 3-2. Despite Torino's late surge, AC Milan held on, even coming close to a fourth goal with Ricci. Three valuable points for the Rossoneri in the Champions League race.
