National player Malick Thiaw also won the third game of the season in Serie A with 19-time Italian soccer champions AC Milan and thus maintained the top of the table for the time being.
With ex-Schalke Thiaw in the starting XI, Milan won 2-0 (1-0) at AS Roma on Friday evening (09/01/23), who continued their false start with just one point from three games. Former French world champion Olivier Giroud (12th, penalty kick) and Rafael Leao (48th) scored for the guests, who were outnumbered for a long time after yellow-red for Fikayo Tomori (61st) in the Olympic Stadium. Leonardo Spinazzola (90+2) scored late for Roma, with Belgium strike tank Romelu Lukaku playing as a substitute a day after signing from Chelsea.
