Pervis Estupinan is Football Italia\u2019s Man of the Match in\u00a0 Milan\u2019s 1-0 win over Inter.<\/a><\/p>

Milan 1-0 Inter player ratings<\/h2>

Milan:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Maignan 6.5; Tomori 6, De Winter 6.5, Pavlovic 6.5; Saelemaekers 6, Fofana 6.5 (73\u2032 Ricci 6), Modric 7, Rabiot 6.5, Estupinan 7; Leao 5.5 (73\u2032 Fullkrug N\/A), Pulisic 6 (84\u2032 Nkunku N\/A). Coach: Allegri 7.<\/p>

Best Milan player: Estupinan 7 \u2013<\/strong> There are several, but Estupinan slightly beats his teammates thanks to his winning goal<\/a> in the first half. Maignan was just as decisive a few minutes earlier as he produced a key save to deny Mkhitaryan. De Winter and Pavlovic were very solid at the back, Modric led the Rossoneri with experience and quality. Not a news that.<\/p>

MILAN, ITALY \u2013 MARCH 08: Pervis Estupinan of AC Milan scores their team\u2019s first goal during the Serie A match between AC Milan and Inter at Giuseppe Meazza Stadium on March 08, 2026 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Marco Luzzani\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>

Lowest Milan rating: Leao 5.5 \u2013<\/strong> He didn\u2019t do much, did he? Even when the Rossoneri had space on the counter, the Portuguese star was too sloppy and made too many touches, losing momentum and hurting the opponents.<\/p>

Milan coach: Allegri 7 \u2013<\/strong> He told Estupinan after just seven minutes that he had to find space behind Luis Henrique, and that\u2019s exactly how Milan<\/a> scored the winning goal. Milan kept things tight at the back, but, to be honest, they probably thought they\u2019d have needed to sit deeper to win the game.<\/p>

Inter:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Sommer 6; Bisseck 5.5 (80\u2032 Diouf N\/A), Akanji 6, Bastoni 5.5 (68\u2032 Carlos Augusto 6); Luis Henrique 5 (59\u2032 Dumfries 6), Barella 5.5 (68\u2032 Frattesi 5.5), Zielinski 5.5, Mkhitaryan 6 (59\u2032 Sucic 5.5), Dimarco 5.5; Esposito 5, Bonny 5. Coach: Chivu 5.<\/p>

Best Inter player: Mkhitaryan 6 \u2013<\/strong> It\u2019s hard to pick one as many Nerazzurri were below par. Mkhitaryan probably had the best chance for the Nerazzurri, but was denied by Maignan, just a few minutes before Estupinan\u2019s winner. Dumfries\u2019 introduction in the second half was a clear upgrade on Luis Henrique. Inter have missed him so much.<\/p>

<\/smartframe-embed><\/p>

Lowest Inter rating: Luis Henrique 5 \u2013<\/strong> At the end of the day, he made the decisive mistake that allowed Milan to win the match. It had already happened against Juventus and Arsenal. When the Brazilian is defending, opponents will always have a chance to hurt on that flank. It happened tonight, and Estupinan didn\u2019t waste it.<\/p>

Inter coach: Chivu 5 \u2013<\/strong> It wasn\u2019t easy without his starting strikers. Lautaro was injured on the bench<\/a>, and Thuram wasn\u2019t available due to a fever. Inter have now lost their first game since the reverse fixture on November 23. Besides that, they were never really dangerous. The ball moved too slowly, and the strikers didn\u2019t link up well. The good news is that Inter still hold a seven-point lead over Milan.<\/p>","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
