Milan-Frosinone, here’s the video with highlights and highlights of Saturday’s Dec. 2 Serie A evening match, with moviola episodes and report cards.
After the disappointing Champions League defeat against Borussia Dortmund, Pioli’s AC Milan seeks to regain confidence, game and results against Di Francesco’s hostile Frosinone. Pioli is still missing Giroud, who has to serve the last of his two disqualification turns. Many then absences in defense, forcing the coach to deploy Hernandez centrally.
In attack, then the injured Leao is still missing. So the Pulisic-Jovic-Chukwueze trident returns. Milan needs the three points at all costs in order to stay attached to the Scudetto train and get closer to Inter, who will play at the Maradona against Napoli on Sunday night.
Milan is hoping for a resurgence from Jovic. The former Real and Fiorentina man, after eight games played in this league, is still out of goals. Di Francesco seeks points away knowing that Frosinone has lost its last four away from home.
Highlights of the challenge
The Rossoneri start off shy, and for the first few minutes the ball of the game is in the hands of Di Francesco’s men. Milan’s first attack is brought to an end on 24′ Chukwueze with a left-footed counter-balance shot, there is a deflection and the shot ends up just outside. Frosinone immediately responds with Oyono, who sows panic in Milan’s rearguard and then angles his shot a bit too much. At 42′ Cuni found himself face-to-face against Maignan and tried a lob, but the Milan goalkeeper was not fooled. Soon after, Jovic, on a counterattack, signed the 1-0.
At 50′, Milan managed to put in the second goal: a long throw from Maignan, on which Pulisic came on the run, who beat Turati with a dig. With a scheme on a corner, at 34′, Milan scores the 3-0 with Tomori. In the 83′ minute, Frosinone shortened with Brescianini taking advantage of a mistake by Theo Hernandez. The Ciociari attacked more and with more creativity than Milan, but failed to make an impact.

(Maignan (LaPresse)
The best on the field for Milan is Pulisic: the American is the most proactive and combative and also scores the best goal of the match (7.5). Resurrects after a long oblivion Jovic, with a goal and an assist (7). Bad in the Rossoneri Reijnders, never precise and clean (5.5). In Frosinone above sufficiency only young Ibrahimovic plays (6.5). Soulé and Oyono (6) also do well. Badly, on the other hand, Romagnoli and Barrenechea (5). Back to shine in goal after the uncertainties of Champions Mike Maignan (7). Very disappointing for the ciociari Cuni, who misses the goal of the potential 0-1 (5). On the other hand, for the Rossoneri, the performance of Chukwueze, never dangerous going forward and often confusing (5.5), is not very encouraging.
Moviola and highlights of the match
Referee confidently handles a match that only becomes more nervous in the final. No episodes to comment on. All four goals could have hinted at a suspected offside position, but they are all regular.
