Conclusion of the First Half
Madrid trails at halftime once more, with whistles echoing around the Bernabeu!
Will Los Blancos be able to turn things around this time?
We're in injury time as the first half comes to a close.
The French player displays incredible speed as he races down the right side in a fast-paced play. He then cuts inside and unleashes a powerful shot that Maignan expertly stops, keeping the ball out of the net!
This is definitely worrying for Real Madrid, as they've fallen behind at home once more. It happened not just once this evening, but two times.
Milan appears to be strong in their offensive play as well.
GOAL!!! - REAL MADRID 1-2 AC MILAN (MORATA) Alvaro Morata nets a goal, bringing Real Madrid closer in the match against AC Milan.
Milan makes another advance on the right side, and Pulisic spots Leao in the area. Leao turns and fires a shot, but it gets stopped. Meanwhile, everyone else is caught up in the moment, watching the ball, except for Morata, who quickly reacts to the rebound and nudges Milan back into the lead!
Milan executed a fantastic series of passes that set them up for a shot. Pulisic took the shot from just outside the box, but it deflected and went straight to the goalkeeper.
His attempt from distance goes directly to the goalie.
He had choices, and Bellingham isn't quite satisfied with what he chose.
"His response is awful... it's just absurd."
Steve McManaman couldn't believe his eyes while commentating for TNT Sports as he observed Vinicius hit the ground and start rolling around after what seemed like a minor contact—if that—from the goalkeeper.
It's safe to say that the former player from Madrid and Liverpool wasn't happy about that!
Tijjani Reijnders sends a cross in from the left side, and Lunin quickly rushes off his line to get ahead of Thiaw and strike the ball away with a punch, clearing the threat.
Milan believes he has touched the player in red and black who is on the ground, but he actually hasn't, so no further action will be taken.
Bellingham delivers a tempting cross from the right side, but despite the incredible attacking talent at Madrid's disposal, not a single player in white is positioned to respond to the pass!
Mbappe and Vinicius each positioned themselves on the fringes of the penalty area.
CHECK IT OUT: VINI EQUALIZES FOR MADRID WITH A PENALTY KICK
GOAL!!! - REAL MADRID 1-1 AC MILAN (VINICIUS)
Vinicius sends the ball right down the center, and Madrid has equalized!
Interestingly, it was the Brazilian player who stepped up to take the penalty instead of Mbappe...
Vinicius makes his way into the penalty area from the left side when Emerson Royal fouls the Brazilian just as he nears the six-yard box, forcing the referee to award a penalty.
The former Spurs player was quite awkward in his actions.
CHECK IT OUT: THIAW GIVES MILAN THE LEAD WITH A FANTASTIC HEADER
However, his rather soft attempt from long range goes directly to Lunin.
The American has already scored seven goals this season, making the attempt definitely worthwhile.
That's the German's inaugural goal for Milan, and what a moment to score it!
MADRID NEARLY RESPONDED RIGHT AWAY!
Mbappe skillfully maneuvers past the Milan defense and sends a powerful, low shot toward the goal, but Maignan makes an outstanding save to deflect it away.
SCORE!! - REAL MADRID 0-1 AC MILAN (THIAW)
Madrid finds themselves trailing once more at the Bernabeu!
The goal originated from a corner taken by Christian Pulisic. Malick Thiaw managed to position himself between Tchouameni and Eder Militao, directing a well-placed header past Lunin!
MODRIC TAKES A FREE-KICK DIRECTLY AT MIKE MAIGNAN
Mbappe earns a free kick from 30 yards out, and the 39-year-old Modric steps up to take it. He delivers a gentle, curling shot, but it goes right into the hands of the Milan goalkeeper.
