The one-on-one shot completely made Montella give up wanting to score as soon as possible, and he once again came to the sidelines to direct his players to slow down the tempo of the game a bit, and no longer risk trying to make more threatening passes, so as to reduce the risk of being tackled. He also asked the visitors to step up their scrambling and use fouls early on the home side to stop them when they counter-attacked, which also allowed them to keep the number of fouls almost the same when they had twice as much possession.

Neither side could make any dangerous moves on the pitch for the next 10 minutes, and AC Milan struggled to force holes in the home defence's defence after reducing the penetration of direct balls, so they could only put pressure on the opposition through wide crosses and long-range shots, but nothing was always achieved. On the Torino side, because it was difficult to counterattack and did not dare to invest too many troops in the positional battle, it did not achieve much in the offensive end, and only one missed shot was recorded.

However, after such a period of calm and calm, Li Mudi keenly noticed that the mentality of the Milan players showed some signs of relaxation, and secretly signaled that Belotti and other offensive players could appropriately push forward and disrupt the rhythm of the opponent's previous ball control. The move paid off, as the visitors' backline had to move back to find space to pass the ball in the face of the aggressive scrambling of the Torino players, causing their midfield to retreat five to eight metres and ease the pressure on the home team's defence. The two sides then engaged in a battle closer to the mid-to-long line, with the home side taking the opportunity to recover some of the gap in possession and the game was closer to a balance.

The Torino players who came from the Christmas and New Year's holidays have regained their physical condition from the beginning of the season, and after the last round of games away to Sassuolo, their competitive form has also returned to a very ideal situation, so even if the temperature is a little low today, they are very flexible, and it is almost like the three consecutive defeats before the winter break. In the 19th minute, Jesse continued to play with Baseli and Belotti to hit the wall, and the Spanish winger went all the way to the edge of the small penalty area, but unfortunately he kicked in front of the goal and missed anyone, and finally flew out of the bottom line on the other side. However, the goal did not attract enough attention from the visiting players, who still wanted to regain control of the midfield and put more effort there.

Two minutes later, the home side played an unexpected link-up as they suddenly burst into the air and caused a mistake in AC Milan's entire defence. Falke formed a breakthrough on the right side after receiving Benasi's ball, and Romagnoli was afraid that Bonaventura, who came back from the defense, was not an opponent, so he hurried over to help with the bag. But who knew that the deft Spaniard showed his flashy footwork, as he flicked the ball with the outside of his left foot through the opposition gear with the outside of his left foot on the Bonaventura's scramble, and then accelerated through the gap between the two defenders.

The Milan central defender had an ominous premonition in his heart, and subconsciously stretched out his hands on Falke's shoulders to pull him down outside the sideline of the penalty area, but he didn't expect the Torino right winger to accelerate out of his control, and passed the ball to the top of the arc in the middle of the penalty area before Calabria, who ran back.

Jesus, who had been waiting there for a long time, did not hesitate to choose to hit the goal with his right foot without stopping the ball, but due to the slight bounce of the ball, although he kicked the angle without adding too much power, if he flew towards the goal like this, it should not pose much threat to Donnarumma. But who knew that the right leg of Abate in front of him who stretched out to try to block the shot sent an own goal assist, and the ball grazed the shin guard and refracted slightly, and fell right at the feet of Belotti, who was unguarded five meters in front of the goal. The Torino centre-forward immediately fell to the ground and sent his right foot, the ball hit the arch of the ball and bounced into the bottom left corner of the goal, and even though the Milan goalkeeper reacted quickly to make a save, he didn't have time to touch the ball and flew into the side-netting. 1-0, the Red Bulls finally took the lead in the twenty-first minute after the start of the game.

As the home players frantically ran to the sidelines to celebrate, the Milan players raised their hands to signal that the ball was offside, but the linesman was adamant that there was no problem. The slow-motion replay of the broadcaster also appeared on the broadcast interface in time, and at the moment when Hesse took the shot, the central defender Paletta, who was marking Baseli from the distance, dragged to the last position, so the red bebe's shot was not offside, and the linesman's decision was clear.

Montella became more and more impatient after conceding the goal, shouting for his players to cheer up, continue to fight hard in midfield, and once won the ball and pressed the home team back into the half. With this order, the away team players also fought more fiercely, and Locatelli and Baca both received yellow cards. However, the Torino team, who had already led by one goal, refused to back down at all, and instead took measures to fight violence with violence, and Barceli also made too big a move in the tackle and received a yellow jewel card. However, Milan's goal of this adjustment was completely destroyed, but before the "little plane" could react next, the red bull raised its horns again.

In the 25th minute, after the visiting left-back's cross from Calabria was headed over by Ranocchia for the nth time, Torino played a multi-player combined attack. Benassi split the ball up front and down the right flank, where Fassy cut inside after a bottom-down feint, and his long-range shot from the edge of the box was blocked by Bonaventura and bounced into the left side of the box. The inserted Bassetli slapped the ball on, took a step to avoid Bertoracci's down-and-down tackle, and then tried to finish in the six-yard box, but Donnarumma was on the spot and took the lead with his right hand to lift the ball out.

But the landing point was still taken by Belotti, who was actively running and looking for opportunities, and the red babe took a step in the direction of his own field and then gave it back to Falke, who kicked directly at the goal but failed to hit the power, and the ball came to the goal again, this time waiting there was replaced by Benasi. He unexpectedly opted to take a left-footed heel down the Milan goalkeeper's flying block, and the ball bounced into the visitors' goal after passing under Donnarumma's armpit. 2-0, Torino scored two goals in four minutes, which severely damaged the morale of the opponent.

Seeing that the opponent seemed to be collapsing, Li Mudi naturally did not miss a good opportunity to completely seal the victory, and he instructed the home team players to continue to press the opponent's possession and strive to play an effective counterattack again. In the 28th minute, Jesse made another brilliant breakthrough, starting from five meters behind the midfield line and hitting the corner of the opposition penalty area, but unfortunately could not find a chance to get off the ground under the bag of three players of the visiting team, and was tackled.

Three minutes later, however, he made another comeback and it paid off, as he caught the attention of the opposition defender and sent a through ball. Torino left-back Bareka cut in at high speed on the outside and got the ball into the box as soon as he got it, and Abate, who was not slow to defend and intercepted the opponent on the touchline. Just when Bareka wanted to make a change of direction with his left foot, the two men made physical contact, Abate slightly hooked the foothold of the Torino left-back, and the Milan player hurriedly raised his hand to signal the opponent to fake a fall, but the referee Paolo Tagliavento still blew the penalty very decisively.

After the referee had chased away the protesting visitors, Torino's top scorer Belotti placed the ball at the penalty spot, took two steps back, and as soon as the whistle blew to allow a penalty, he immediately started running and kicked the ball down the middle. However, Donnarumma surprisingly didn't have time to pick a direction to save, but stayed in place after a shake in his center of gravity, and if the ball wasn't so fast, maybe he might not have been able to pull his body back.

However, it was precisely because of the power on the ball that the Milan goalkeeper subconsciously reached out to block and failed to hit the ball away, and the red Beibei, who was also very agile, got the opportunity to make up the shot. Don Jr. was finally unable to save his team in the face of this closer-range strike, and the ball flew from his left-hand side into the top corner of the net. At 3-0, just over half an hour into the game, the Red Bulls had a three-goal lead.

It is worth noting that this goal is also the thirtieth goal scored by a homegrown player in Torino's Serie A this season, and it is far ahead of the list of this statistic.

With this goal conceded, basically no one believes that AC Milan will be able to walk away from the Olympic Stadium today, and even the most die-hard Rossoneri fans do not think that another Istanbul miracle will happen today. However, I have to admit that they are indeed one of the two greatest teams in the history of the Apennine Peninsula, and they are indeed very outstanding in terms of mental quality, and ordinary people will inevitably give up on themselves in this situation, but the visiting players have the belief that even if they die, they must die with dignity. Fifteen minutes before half-time, the visitors unexpectedly squeezed the Torino players into their half, preventing them from finishing again.

In the 37th minute, Suso began a series of individual performances, first receiving a return pass from Abate on the right side of the box, and his outflanked effort went wide of the near post, shocking the home fans into a cold sweat. A minute later, he got past Bareka on the right, cut inside and fired a left-footed shot over the crossbar by Hart, before taking a free-kick straight into Joe Hart's goal from the edge of the right-hand corner, but it was still wide of the near corner.

In the 42nd minute, Milan played a series of passes in the center of the penalty area, Bertolaci sent a through ball in the middle, Bonaventura and Baca continued to cleverly use their heels to make the ball, and the ball returned to Bertolaci in the box. Unfortunately, his left-footed shot from 12 yards was floppy and too angled to be denied by the England goalkeeper who didn't make a move, and Milan almost pulled one back shortly before the break, and it was also a wake-up call for Torino, who retreated in the next few minutes to finally survive the difficult period and return to their dressing room with a three-goal advantage.

In the fifteen minutes of the break, the Torino team members were in a very good mood, not only because of the revenge of the defeat in the first round on the road, but also because the team's instant points have surpassed the defeat of Atalanta and today's opponent AC Milan, and returned to fifth position, just in time to get the ticket to the Europa League qualification. At this point, their minds have begun to drift to the cup game three days later, and even Li Muddy is thinking about replacing key players such as Belotti and Benassi if the visitors still can't close the gap in the 65th or 70th minute.

Although he has been using rotation or even pure substitutes in the Italian Cup before, after reaching the main match, the opponent's strength is obviously stronger than himself, and if he still does so, it is equivalent to admitting defeat directly. The Turin boss, who has always had his hopes of a cup winner who can go straight to the Europa League, will not give up this second leg before the league can secure a top-five finish, and if they are to use the main two-front operation, they must be protected at the right time.

Just when the home side were in a playful mindset, waiting for the final whistle to blow before going to Milan and beating the same opponent again three days later to progress to the quarter-finals of the Cup, the Rossoneri gave them a blow at the start of the second half. Torino kicked off the ball after a simple pass in midfield twice before passing the ball forward, Belotti took the ball and suddenly made a personal breakthrough move, Romagnoli, who did not anticipate this, had to kick the red babe on the calf after being squeezed half by the former, Tagliavento stopped the game without saying a word, and ran over to show a yellow card to the Milan central defender. The center of the home team with unbearable pain lay on the ground for a long time and did not recover, and was supported by the team doctor to the sidelines, and it took almost a minute to get better, so frightened that Li Mudi's underwear was wet with sweat. The current Red Bulls can't do without this powerful center, and once he is injured for more than a month, then European qualification will definitely be out of play.

After seeing Belotti relieved himself and the team doctor gave a non-serious answer, the coach of the home team and the fans who had been paying attention to the situation exhaled easily. However, this kid is also a good fighter, and within two minutes of returning to the field, he gave Romagnoli a flying tackle from the side and back in a front-court scramble, of course, no one except himself knew whether this action was intentional or not. But in the eyes of the referee, this kind of action is absolutely not allowed, fortunately, Red Beibei is not a dirty player, his right foot is indeed running towards the ball, and he also touched the ball first, so Tagliavento's sentence is still lenient, just a yellow card. And the teammates of the national team each received a yellow card on each other in more than five minutes, which can be regarded as a needle-to-needle match and a competitive effort.

However, just when everyone thought that the confrontation between the two men could be further escalated in the future, the Torino center forward, who had just been punished by the referee, walked up to the Milan central defender who was sitting on the ground and sorted out the shin guards, smiled and stretched out his hand to pull the opponent up. It seems that after the anger was vented, everyone's mentality was adjusted back in time, otherwise it would really make people afraid that there would be disharmony in the later games.
