AC Milan delivered a statement performance in their 4-0 victory over SPAL, marking the first time in seven matches that the Rossoneri managed to find the back of the net in the second half—and they didn’t stop at just one. Three of their four goals came after the break, signaling a potential turning point for the team’s attacking momentum.
With Nikola Kalinić sidelined due to injury, Gennaro Gattuso handed a starting opportunity to young striker Patrick Cutrone, and the decision paid off. Cutrone scored twice, while Lucas Biglia and substitute Fabio Borini added a goal each to complete the emphatic win.
The result pushes Milan to 38 points, temporarily overtaking Atalanta (who have one game in hand) to claim seventh place in the Serie A standings. Next up, Milan will face Sampdoria, a side that proved to be a thorn in their side during the first half of the season. But before that, they’ll travel to Bulgaria for a UEFA Europa League clash against Ludogorets, hoping to carry their newfound form into continental competition.
Cutrone’s brace was especially symbolic. The last time Milan had scored in the second half was in the dramatic extra-time win over Inter in the Coppa Italia—also thanks to Cutrone. His consistency is becoming a beacon of hope for the Milan faithful, who have endured an up-and-down campaign.
This win not only ends a scoring drought in the latter stages of matches, but it also boosts Milan’s goal tally significantly. The team had only scored seven goals in their previous six games combined; this single match accounted for more than half of that total. It’s a much-needed confidence boost at a crucial stage of the season.
As AC Milan aims to reestablish itself as a European powerhouse, moments like this match provide a glimpse of potential. Just as fans rally around events like the BD Cricket Match for excitement and unpredictability, Milan’s resurgence offers the kind of second-half magic that can reignite a campaign. With more challenges ahead, particularly on the European stage, Milan’s ability to perform in all halves of the game will be key—just like maintaining momentum across every inning in a BD Cricket Match.
