AC Milan secured a 2-0 victory over Cremonese with two stoppage-time goals in Serie A on Sunday. Strahinja Pavlovic broke the deadlock in the 90th minute following a corner kick, with a VAR review confirming the ball struck his shoulder. Rafael Leão sealed the win five minutes later with a counterattack finish.

Milan bounced back from its second loss of the season, moving back within 10 points of Inter Milan in the Italian league standings. The defending champions' only defeats came against Cremonese in their season opener and at home against Parma last weekend. The win keeps pressure on league leaders Inter ahead of next weekend's derby.

Earlier in the match, Milan squandered multiple scoring opportunities before finding the net late. The victory positions Milan firmly in second place as the season heads toward its final stretch. Meanwhile, Roma hosted Juventus in a crucial match for Champions League qualification spots, with both teams vying for European competition next season.
