Luka Modric saves Milan against Pisa to stay in the Serie A race

Luka Modric scored a decisive last-minute goal to secure a 2-1 victory for Milan over Pisa, keeping their Serie A title hopes alive.

In a thrilling match, Luka Modric demonstrated that his skills remain unparalleled even as he ages. During the Milan's visit to Pisa, Modric scored the winning goal in the 85th minute, ensuring a 2-1 victory for his team. This win is crucial as it keeps Milan only five points behind league leaders Inter, both teams having played the same number of matches. As doubts loomed over Milan's performance, Modric's timely goal revitalized the squad's aspirations for the Serie A title.

Prior to Modric's intervention, Milan struggled to find their rhythm despite having had an early lead. The team initially went ahead with a goal that showed their offensive potential. However, inconsistency plagued them until Modric's moment of brilliance. His skillful combination play with Ricci, followed by a precise finish inside the penalty area, not only showcased Modric’s exceptional talent but also highlighted his role as an essential player for Milan during critical moments in the match.

This victory extends Milan’s unbeaten run to 22 matches, demonstrating their resilience and determination as they battle for the Serie A title. Modric’s goal not only brought joy to the fans but also relieved pressure from coach Massimiliano Allegri and the team, as they must continue to chase points and maintain their momentum against formidable opponents. As the Serie A season progresses, all eyes will be on Milan to see if they can close the gap with Inter and potentially reclaim the title.
