In a distinctly canine display of football, AC Milan successfully played a tireless game of fetch to retrieve a hard-earned victory from the jaws of defeat, snatching a win from Cagliari whose grip was as loose as a salivating dalmatian with a chew toy. However, it would be unjust to attribute this victory merely to Cagliari's lackadaisical play; rather, it was a demonstration of Milan's tenacity and relentless energy that led them to victory. Any game featuring the mighty AC Milan is bound to attract intrigue, or, as the anecdote goes, throw them a ball and they'll fetch a victory certifying their 'top dog' status. In this match, a reverse scenario took place - it was Milan tasked with the fetching and boy, did they do it with aplomb. Zito Luvumbo's thunderbolt strike in the 29th minute left the whole Stadio Giuseppe Meazza crowd in shock, resembling ponies startled by a car backfire. It was starting to look like the Milanese were about to have a dog day afternoon. However, AC Milan, true to their pedigree, responded like a Jack Russell on a caffeine rush. Noah Okafor, having got a taste for goal, pounced on 40 mins, rolling it into the net after the ball embarrassingly rebounded off the lumbering Cagliari 'keeper, Boris Radunovic, who had seemingly turned into a St. Bernard, sloppily scattering balls everywhere. Not letting the thrill subside, Fikayo Tomori, using his best 'retriever' instincts decided to fetch another. A goal in this case, reluctantly brought to life by a point-blank range shot barely five minutes later. The hounds from Milan did not stop there, Ruben Loftus-Cheek added the final polish to the bone of victory, unforgivingly descending on Cagliari's net like a famished bulldog, securing the win for the relentless Milan side. In summary, it was a day reminiscent of a feisty Pitbull and a shaky Chihuahua engrossed in an unequal tug of war. The pedigree of the Milanese came to the fore proving yet again that when it comes to football, they are the 'Leader of the Pack!' While Cagliari, well, they're still trying to learn which end of the stick to hold on to. Stick, or in this case, defeat! A man's best friend may be a dog, but for AC Milan, it seems to be victory, which they know how to fetch, however elusive it appears to be.
