AC Milan falls seven points behind leader Inter in title race after 1-1 home
draw with Como
MILAN (AP) --- AC Milan fell seven points behind Inter Milan in the Italian
title race after drawing 1-1 at home to Como on Wednesday.
Argentina midfielder Nico Paz put the visitors ahead in the 32nd minute
following a clumsy error from Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
The France No. 1 tried passing the ball from the edge of his penalty area, but
Paz swiftly intercepted it and shot through Maignan's legs for his ninth league
goal of the season.
Portugal winger Rafael Leao equalized midway through the second half for Milan
with a neat lob, after being set up by midfielder Ardon Jashari.
Second-place Milan is four points ahead of defending champion Napoli in third.
Como moved into sixth spot on goal difference from Atalanta in the race for a
Champions League place next season. Fifth-place Juventus is four points ahead.
