JAKARTA - AC Milan opened hope and heated the competition for Group F of the Champions League. In a duel at the San Siro Stadium, Wednesday, November 8 in the morning WIB, Milan won 2-1 over Paris Saint-Germain.

Milan won their first win in the Champions League. A very important victory is because it opens up Milan's chances of qualifying for the round of 6.

Previously, Milan was not taken into account because they could never win in the group stage. They were only able to draw twice and lost once.

Namun dengan kemenangan ini, Milan menjaga persaingan di Grup F. Tambahan tiga poin itu memang tak mengubah posisi Milan.

They remain in third place with five points. Two points adrift with Borussia Dortmund who won the top of the table after a 2-0 win over Newcastle United.

Meanwhile, PSG, which has six points, is in second place. Of the groups, no one has confirmed their passing to the last 16.

With two more matches remaining, Newcastle, which is at the bottom of the standings, still has a chance to advance to the knockout round. The Toon Army has four points.

In that match, Milan was actually hot late. PSG, who took the initiative to attack, managed to take the lead first. PSG's goal was created when the game had only been running for nine minutes.

Starting from Marquinhos' corner which was greeted by Milan Skriniar's header without being prevented by goalkeeper Mike Maignan. Score 10 for PSG.

Only Les Parisiens' advantage did not last long. Milan only took three minutes to equalize.

Milan's goal started with the striker Olivier Giroud who fired a shot at PSG's goal. But goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma managed to thwart it.

The rebound ball was immediately grabbed by Rafael Leao through a corner kick or bicycle kick. This time Donnarumma, who was the former Milan goalkeeper, failed to save his goal.

In a 1-1 draw, PSG took the initiative to attack again. PSG star Kylian Mbappe had a good chance after escaping the offside trap. However, Maignan's strike by the captain of the French national team was thwarted.

Next up was Ousmane Dembele's turn which threatened the Rossoneri goal. But his shot is still soaring.

Meanwhile, Milan got a chance through Giroud. However, this veteran striker kick was still wide so the score remained even until the end of the first half.

In the second half, Milan implemented an open strategy. They beat PSG's defense. Leao's goal inspired Milan to turn things around.

The host's efforts immediately paid off when the game had only been running for five minutes. Giroud's header which met Theo Hernandez's pass managed to break into Donnarumma's goal. The score changed to 2-1.

Milan again pressed. However, the brilliant save made by the goalkeeper, who has only returned to the San Siro for the first time since PSG was recruited in 2021, has always thwarted Milan's efforts.

At least the Italian national team goalkeeper who was thrown in fake money with a picture of his face by ultras Milan thwarted Milan's goal opportunity. Yes, Donnarumma's departure to PSG disappointed fans.

The rescue he made failed to save PSG from defeat. The final score remains 2-1 for Milan.
