SPAL was leading 2-0 after half an hour thanks to a hit by Mattia Valoti and a beauty from 38-year-old Sergio Floccari, who scored from a great distance. Marco D’Alessandro got red on the stroke of half-time, but AC Milan still looked at a margin of two hits ten minutes before the end and Ibrahimovic initially could not change that. Rafael Leão brought the tension back and in the extra time the equalizer fell: the Belgian Alexis Saelemeakers passed and Francesco Vicari unfortunately extended the ball into the own goal.
