"Youssouf Fofana and Pervis Estupinan haven't been particularly impressive this season, with the Ecuadorian in particular struggling ever since losing his starting spot to Davide Bartesaghi. Against Inter it was the perhaps surprise duo that sealed the three points for the Rossoneri and kept the title race somewhat alive. Fofana provided the assist for Estupinan who made no mistake in front of goal, firing a rocket into the top corner that was the finish of a top striker."
"It was yet another excellent defensive display in the derby from Milan too, with another clean sheet in the bag against the Nerazzurri, this time with Mike Maignan rarely tested barring a shot from Henrikh Mkhitaryan before the opening goal."
"Well, the result means the gap at the top is cut to seven points, and Milan have also ended Inter's unbeaten run at 15 games (one that ran since the last derby), so there is some reason to believe."
AC Milan secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Inter at San Siro, with Pervis Estupinan scoring the decisive goal in the 35th minute after receiving a through ball from Youssouf Fofana. The goal came from an unlikely source, as both players had struggled for consistency this season. Milan's defense remained solid throughout, with goalkeeper Mike Maignan rarely tested and the team maintaining another clean sheet against their rivals. The victory reduces Inter's lead at the top to seven points and ends their unbeaten streak that had lasted since the previous derby. Despite limited attacking play in the second half, Milan successfully defended their advantage and kept the title race competitive.
