AC Milan endured a frustrating afternoon on Sunday, May 3, 2026, as they slumped to a 2-0 defeat against US Sassuolo at the MAPEI Stadium.
The defeat comes shortly after Milan’s goalless draw with Juventus FC in April, a result that had kept the Serie A top-four race finely poised.
Softfootball gathered that The game quickly turned against Milan, with Domenico Berardi opening the scoring inside five minutes. The forward curled a precise effort into the bottom corner following a slick exchange with Armand Laurienté, putting the hosts firmly in control.
Milan’s situation worsened dramatically before the half-hour mark when Fikayo Tomori was sent off after picking up two yellow cards in quick succession. His dismissal left the Rossoneri with a numerical disadvantage for the majority of the match, disrupting their structure and limiting their attacking threat.
