AC Milan

  3.00

  Christian Abbiati

  Called into action early on after Yepes came close to turning into his own net, before saving well for Amauri's second half header. Perhaps could've done better for Sansone's late strike, but a solid performance from the Italian.

  Mattia De Sciglio

  Pushed forward very well and eager to join in the Milan attacks, while performing his defensive duties to the highest standard.

• 
  165

  34

  3.00

  Cristian Zapata

  Cheaply gave the ball away to Paletta in the first half with the scores level, but settled following the incident and churned out an effective display in the heart of the Milan defence.

•

  87

  3.00

  Mario Alberto Yepes

  At times struggled with the physical presence of Amauri, losing out on a first half header that forced Abiatti into a save, after almost turning a Parma cross into his own net.

•

  2.50

  Sulley Ali Muntari

  Not the greatest of performances from the midfielder, who should've netted in the second half following some great work from Niang. Didn't go enough to convince Allegri that he warrants a starting spot.

• 
  172

  59

  3.00

  Antonio Nocerino

  Attempted a speculative second half effort from distance following a Pavarini clearance, but failed to turn his shot on target. Solid display from the Italian.

•

  3.50

  Kevin-Prince Boateng

  Saw his low cross turned in by Paletta at the end of the first half in a game where the midfielder was continuously involved in a majority of Milan's attacks before his 65th minute withdrawal.

• 
  318

  4.00

  Riccardo Montolivo

  Worked tirelessly in the midfield to counteract the Parma threat from deep and continuously cut out a number of attacks from the visitors before seeing a later long range effort denied by Pavarini.

• 
  215

  23

  3.00

  Kevin Constant

  Given the run around by Biabiany and continuously beaten by the former Inter man, although did come close to a first half assist for Balotelli before a much improved second half performance.

•

  4.00

  Mario Balotelli Top of the Match

  Regularly involved in the teams attacking impetus, but failed to really test Pavarini until his 75th minute free kick which flew into the top corner and secured all three points for the hosts.

  Bakaye Traoré

  Not enough time to make an impact.

  2.50

  Bojan Krkic

  Full of running following his 65th minute introduction, but never really got going and looked off the pace, especially after Niang looked to play him in with the score at 2-0, in which he completely misread the pass.

  Nicola Pavarini

  Solid when called upon against the misfiring Milan frontline and could do little for the Paletta own goal and Balotelli's free kick.

• 
  27

  22

  2.50

  Djamel Mesbah

  Not the strongest of performances upon his return to the San Siro and was often caught out at left back by Niang. His poor header in the first half almost led to the opener from Boateng.

•

  2.00

  Gabriel Paletta Flop of the Match

  Could've opened the scoring in the first half after capitalising on a poor Zapata clearance, but dragged his effort wide, before turning Boateng's cross into his own net.

•

  2.50

  Andrea Coda

  Worked hard to keep Balotelli's creative influence to a minimum before his substitution midway through the second half.

•

  3.50

  Jaime Valdes

  The main source of creativity for the visitors and came close to notching an assist in the second half, only for Amauri to misjudge his effort moments before Milan netted their second.

•

  21

  2.50

  Marco Parolo

  A poor performance from the midfielder, who was completely overrun by Montolivo and Nocerino in the middle of the park.

•

  12

  3.00

  Marco Marchionni

  Came close to helping himself to a first half assist after picking out Amauri from a corner, but struggled to stamp this authority in the encounter. On the receiving end of a booking in the second half.

•

  3.00

  Aleandro Rosi

  A good game from the full back, who regularly broke forward to support Biabiany. Unfortunate to have been on the losing side this evening.

•

  3.50

  Jonathan Biabiany

  Gave Constant the run around in the encounter and could've nabbed an assist after breaking down the right in the first half before firing in for Amauri.

•

  27

  2.50

  Amauri

  A constant threat throughout the game, but failed to find a way past Abbiati. The closest he came was a first half header in the first half that the Milan 'keeper held before his second half substitution. Would've fared better had be brought his shooting boots to the San Siro.

•

  11

  3.00

  Nicola Sansone

  Netted a late consolation and attempted to force his way into the encounter, but in the end was regularly shut out by the Milan defence regardless of his best efforts.

Substitutions

  3.00

  Yohan Benalouane

  With Balotelli overpowering Coda at times, the Frenchman solidified the defence, but could do little to stop the Italian netting the winning free kick with 15 minutes to go.

•

  2.50

  Sotiris Ninis

  Replaced the poor Parolo 10 minutes into the second half, but was also shut out by the combined efforts of Montolivo and Nocerino in the middle of the park.

•

  2.50

  Ishak Belfodil

  Kept quiet during his 20 minutes on the pitch by Yepes and Zapata having failed to bring a similar physical presence to that of Amauri, the player he replaced.
