Maxwell Acosty was on target in the Europa League on Thursday evening as Rijeka lost 3-2 to AC Milan at the San Siro.
Acosty who spent ten years playing in Italy before moving to the Croatian champions this summer caught Bonucci in possession at the half-way line and was able to waltz undisturbed towards goal, where Donnarumma’s half-hearted rush off his line failed to stop the ball going in.
Rijeka gained in confidence and once again Milan were punished for lazy defending, as Crnic harassed Alessio Romagnoli into an error and the referee judged it to be a foul. Donnarumma guessed the right angle, but couldn’t keep out the Elez penalty.
It seemed as if they were doomed to an embarrassing draw at San Siro, but in stoppages Fabio Borini’s ball over the top allowed teenage hitman Cutrone to spring the offside trap and he stuck out a toe to flick it beyond the goalkeeper. It was a Pippo Inzaghi-esque finish.
