In the 35th round of the Italian Serie A, AC Milan suffered an unexpected defeat away against Sassuolo. This match held significant importance not only for the result but also for its impact on the league table.
From the opening minutes, the hosts were more active, and in the 5th minute, Domenico Berardi opened the scoring, putting Sassuolo ahead. This goal should have served as a serious wake-up call for the visitors, but events took an even more difficult turn.
In the 24th minute, AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori received a red card following a foul, leaving his team a man down. At that moment, the game's scenario changed completely — the players were forced to focus more on defense than on attacking.
At the start of the second half, Sassuolo solidified their lead. In the 47th minute, Lorente scored with an accurate strike to make it 2-0. For the remainder of the match, AC Milan attempted to change the situation, but their numerical disadvantage and the disciplined play of the hosts left them with no opportunities.

As a result, AC Milan remains in 3rd place with 67 points and has effectively dropped out of the title race. This defeat was a heavy blow for the team, as every point was crucial with so few matches remaining in the season.
Sassuolo, conversely, secured an important victory, bringing their total to 49 points and moving up to 9th place in the standings. The hosts demonstrated a confident performance on their home turf, managing to bring a strong opponent to its knees.
Notably, this result also affected the championship race. If Inter records even a draw in their match against Parma today, the fate of the Scudetto will be decided prematurely.
In short, it was an unfortunate and decisive night for AC Milan — the team has officially left its championship dreams behind.
