AC Milan suffered a disappointing home game at San Siro, allowing newcomers Pisa to hold them to a 2-2 draw. They even came close to losing.

Milan narrowly escaped at San Siro

Before the 8th round, Milan topped the table with 16 points, just one point ahead of Inter, Napoli, and Roma. Beating Pisa — a team rated weaker — was considered a must to keep the Rossoneri at the summit.

Taking advantage of playing at home, Milan quickly made a difference. In the 7th minute, Ricci delivered a precise through ball to Rafael Leao, who broke through to score the opening goal. The early goal seemed to promise an easy match for the San Siro hosts, but a surprise occurred.
