Mourinho goodbye? Milan dealt with Roma in the central match of Serie A

In the 20th round of the Italian Serie A, Milan hosted Roma at their home ground. This clash became the focal point of the round.

The Rossoneri approached the match in a superior position, given that Roma is currently undergoing a clear crisis, both in terms of gameplay and results. Both teams shared the desire to seek redemption for their exits from the Italian Cup. This week, both Rome and Milan were eliminated by Lazio and Atalanta, respectively.

Dark clouds loomed over José Mourinho's team just after 10 minutes into the game. Adli put the hosts ahead from a pass by Reinders.

Roma had several opportunities to bounce back, but the Wolves' players lacked precision in the final stage. However, Giroud faced no such issues; the Frenchman doubled Roma's advantage with a header from Kjaer's delivery.

The Wolves re-entered the game in the middle of the second half: Paredes converted a penalty for a foul by Calabria on Lukaku. However, Mourinho and his team were not destined to secure points today: Hernandez scored Milan's third goal after an exquisite backheel pass from Giroud.

Milan now has 42 points, securing the third position under Stefano Pioli's guidance. Roma sits in the ninth position.
