Cagliari has caused one of the biggest surprises of the season in Serie A, defeating Milan 2-1 at the San Siro and eliminating the Rossoneri from the Champions League.

This victory came through goals from Borrell and Juan Rodríguez, in a match where Milan started quickly with a goal from Alexis Saelemaekers after an assist from Fikayo Tomori.

The match was full of tension from the start, with Milan scoring very early, but Cagliari reacted and equalized after a deflected corner kick, which Borrelli took advantage of inside the area.

In the second half, Cagliari took the advantage with Juan Rodríguez's goal, after a situation created by Nadir Zortea and Gianluca Gaetano's shot that was initially stopped by Mike Maignan.

Milan attempted to get back into the game with changes from coach Massimiliano Allegri, introducing players like Rafael Leão and Luka Modrić, but failed to change the fate of the match.

In the end, Cagliari held on to the score and ended a long streak without a win at this stadium since 1997.

This defeat was decisive for Milan, as it cost them a place in the top four and qualification for the Champions League, while Como took advantage of the situation in the race for Europe./Express newspaper/
