JAKARTA - AC Milan won their first victory in the Italian League under coach Sergio Conceicao. In a duel at the Giuseppe Sinigglia Stadium, Wednesday, January 15, 2025 in the morning WIB, MIlan beat the hosts Como 1907 with a score of 2-1.

Conceicao successfully led Milan to win the Italian Super Cup or Supercoppa Italiana in his debut as coach to replace Paulo Fonseca. The success of defeating Juventus and then overcoming one city rival, Inter Milan, in the final match is clearly Conceicao's good capital when he navigated the league for the first time as a coach.

But Conceicao, who had been poor in Serie A during his time as Lazio, Parma and Inter, made an unsatisfactory debut. Milan were only able to draw 2-2 against Cagliari.

Disappointing results because the Rossoneri appeared at home. They have only won once from the last five matches, including against Cagliari.

Only one point in the home game, Conceicao finally won his first win when Milan visited Como's headquarters. In that duel, Milan fell behind before getting up to beat the promotional team funded by the Indonesian cigarette company.

Victory over Como made Milan successfully go up one strip. Now, they are ranked seventh with 31.

Meanwhile, Como is still struggling at the bottom and is in danger of getting down to the relegation zone. Even though they were unbeaten for the previous six matches, Como has not improved their position.

Now, Cesc Fabregas' team is ranked 16th with 19 points. Como is only one point ahead with Cagliari who is in 18th position or the relegation zone.

In that duel, Milan had to work hard to face Como's decisive game. The hosts showed a high fighting spirit so that they were able to balance Milan. Even Rafael Leao et al were unable to break into Como's goal throughout the first half.

The heading of Alvaro Morata's striker for the first 45 minutes made Conceicao make changes. Morata was withdrawn to be replaced by Tammy Abraham. Likewise, Ismail Bennacer and Christian Pulisic who suffered injuries were replaced by Alex Jimenez and Yunus Musah.

It's just that the substitution actually made Milan's game worse. On the other hand, Como managed to put pressure and finally took the lead first. Assane Diao winger successfully broke Como's deadlock in his debut.

The 19-year-old, who just joined last week after being recruited from Real Betis, welcomed Maxence Caqueret's assist to change the score to 1-0 in the 60th minute.

The goal finally made Milan rise. They began to press Como's defense. After many failures, Milan then equalized the score when Theo Hendez managed to take advantage of a rebound which started with a corner kick in the 71st minute.

Hernandez's volley from close range managed to equalize to 1-1. The goal was Hernandez's 30th ever scored in the Italian League.

This also makes the player of the French national team as the first Milan defender to score that much goals as well as past Milan's legendary defender, Paolo Maldini, who has recorded 29 times against opponents.

Hernandez's success in breaking the deadlock made Milan even more excited. They immediately kicked off and in just five minutes, Milan was already ahead.

This time, Leao, who put Milan ahead 2-1 after his hull kick which finished Abraham's assist, was saved by goalkeeper Jean Butez.

The score lasted until the game was over. Milan also won in away matches as well as became valuable capital when they played a big match against Juve for the second time in January and then faced La Liga representative Spain Girona in the Champions League.
