AC Milan made another misstep in Serie A and lost at home with Parmascore 1-0, in a match of stage #26 of Serie A. Following the result, Chivu's Inter is officially 10 points at the top of the championship and seems decisively distant to the “Scudetto”!

Mariano Troilo's goal in the 80th minute secured the three points for the Crusaders and a solid lead for Inter at the top of the table.

AC Milan messed up again in Serie A: great news for Cristi Chivu: 10 points ahead and the title is fast approaching!

AC Milan competed in misses right from the start of the game. Jashari opened the scoring with a shot from distance, saved by Corvi in the 22nd minute. Pulisic's shot followed in the 45th minute, but it went wide.

In the first half, AC Milan also suffered a loss. Loftus-Cheek was injured in the 11th minute and was replaced by Jashari.

In the second half, Milan pressed the accelerator again and Leao and Pulisic wasted two good chances in the 54th minute. The Portuguese also hit the bar in the 64th minute. The match was heading for a 0-0 and a point for both teams, but Parma struck.

Center back Troilo scored with a header in the 80th minute. The goal was initially disallowed for an attacking foul. After the success was checked for about 3 minutes, the goal was validated, not without displeasing the AC Milan players and fans. With the three points Parma secured their position #12 in the ranking.

The defeat at San Siro does not help the “devils” in the fight for the title. At this moment Cristi Chivu's Inter has a lead of ten points at the top of the standings. Napoli, in 3rd place, are 14 points clear of the leaders and seem completely out of the reckoning for the Scudetto.

Although they have a consistent lead, Cristi Chivu's team has a hell of a schedule in the last 12 stages of Serie A and will even have a derby with AC Milan, it will be decisive in the title fight.

Until the end, AC Milan has an easier schedule and has fewer matches against the teams at the top of the ranking. Inter, in addition to the duels in the championship, is also engaged in the Coppa Italia and, at least for the moment, also in the European cups.
