AC Milan squandered the chance to move top of the Serie A table after being held to a dramatic 2–2 draw away to Parma. Despite a strong start from Massimiliano Allegri’s side, the Rossoneri failed to secure all three points in a match full of twists and missed opportunities.

Alexis Saelemaekers opened the scoring early on and later earned a penalty that Rafael Leão coolly converted to give Milan a two-goal lead. However, the hosts fought back — Adrián Bernabé pulled one back in first-half stoppage time, and shortly after the break, Enrico Delprato equalised, capitalising on a rebound after Pellegrino’s shot struck the post.

In the dying minutes, Christian Pulisic and Saelemaekers both came close to restoring Milan’s lead, but their efforts narrowly missed the target. Parma held firm defensively to claim a well-deserved point, while Milan were left to rue a missed opportunity to climb to the summit of Italian football.
