AC Milan Primavera played out a spectacle this afternoon, but there are certainly elements to be frustrated by, as they were held to a 3-3 draw by Fiorentina.
A six-goal thriller could very well have been anything but that. In fact, it was only in the final minutes of the game that things got properly lively. After last week’s loss to Parma, a reaction was needed, and whether the right one was seen is something else.
Match report
Milan were on top for much of the first half, with a few nice chances inside the first 25 minutes. Then, in the 31st minute, the young Rossoneri team got the advantage, with Angelicchio firing the ball into the top corner.
Giovanni Renna’s side saw out the rest of the half, but it was not without signs of danger, with Fiorentina pressing for a goal. Just after half-time, it arrived, with Cisse giving away a spot kick, which was converted.
It needn’t matter too much, though, as Vladimirov got his side back in front after a beautiful delivery from Lontani. But the game was not done there, and more drama followed.
The first 10 minutes of the second half seemed like it was going to be the deciding period of the game. Then, the final 10 rolled around.
Jallow levelled the scoring five minutes from time, after the Viola came close just a minute before. It wouldn’t go unanswered for long, though, and Castiello got his side ahead with a diving header. Home advantage, again.
But it was not to be, as Conti got Fiorentina level with one of the final attacks of the game. A fantastic game for the neutrals, but not what the Primavera needed…
