Postmatch editorial

The pre-match tension never quite broke

The final score was Roma 1-1 AC Milan. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Lorenzo Pellegrini 74', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Roma led Shots on target 7-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Roma also shaded Total shots 15-5.
