AC Milan's title hopes dashed by Cagliari's resilience

In a thrilling encounter at the San Siro, AC Milan fell to Cagliari with a final score of 1-2, marking a disappointing end to their Serie A campaign. Despite an early goal from Alexis Saelemaekers, the home side was unable to maintain their advantage.

The turning point came shortly after halftime when J. Rodriguez put Cagliari ahead in the 57th minute. This goal shifted the momentum firmly in Cagliari's favor, as they effectively managed the game thereafter, limiting Milan's chances to just three shots on target.

Both teams received two yellow cards, but it was Cagliari's tactical discipline and clinical finishing that ultimately secured their victory. AC Milan's inability to capitalize on their early lead and convert more of their chances proved costly, leaving them to reflect on a season that ended in disappointment.
