Ibrahimovic, The God Of Savior, Prevent Milan From Losing At Home

JAKARTA - AC Milan rose from two goals behind to compensate for guest Verona, in the seventh round match of the Italian League which was played at the San Siro Stadium, Milan, on Sunday or Monday morning WIB.

Milan remain at the top of the Italian League standings with 17 points, while Verona are in eighth position with 12 points, Antara noted on the official Italian League website.

Verona had a two-goal lead at the start of the first half. Antonin Barak (6) 's goal gave Verona the lead, before a Davide Calabria (19') own goal doubled the visitors' lead.

Milan then came back from behind thanks to an own goal from Giangiacomo Magnani (27 '). Nearing the long whistle, Zlatan Ibrahimovic (93 ') scored an equalizer.

Verona appeared aggressive from the start of the match. Mattia Zaccagni had the ball in the byline and sent a lure for Nikola Kalinic to strike. However, Milan's goal was still safe thanks to the alertness of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

From a corner kick, Federico Ceccherini's header bounced off the crossbar, the ball then hit Donnarumma, and Barak became the fastest player to strike the bounced ball. It was the first time in the Italian League this season Milan were in a trailing position.

Rossoneri tried to get up immediately. Alexis Saelemakers fired a shot that goalkeeper Marco Silvestri was able to stop, but it was Verona who managed to double the lead when Zaccagni's volley accidentally deflected Calabria into his own net.

Milan managed to reduce the gap midway through the first half. Franck Kessie leaps up to head a Saelemaekers cross, the ball then deflects Magnani into the Verona net.

At the start of the second half, Federico Dimarco almost made it 3-1 with his shot which was still soaring after Zaccagni pushed his way through the Milan defense.

Moments later Hakan Calhanoglu put the ball into the Verona goal, but he was in an offside position when Rafael Leao deflected the ball at the Turkish player.

Milan were awarded a penalty in the 65th minute when the referee decided Massimo Lovato had fouled Kessie in the forbidden box. Unfortunately, Ibrahimovic, who became the executor, let off a kick soaring high.

The hosts were increasingly attacking the Verona goal. The visitors scored again as Ibrahimovic snatched a Calabrian cross with a volley. However, after being reviewed, the referee decided that the ball had hit Ibrahimovic's arm.

The Swedish player then became Milan's savior as the match ended. Verona keeper Silvestri thwarted Ibrahimovic's chance, a ball that came alive then headed for Ibra into the far corner of the net.
