AC Milan Primavera snatched a draw from the jaws of victory on Saturday afternoon as they conceded three late goals to draw 3-3 with Sassuolo.
In a truly sensational turn of events, Ignazio Abate’s side managed to undo all of their great work in just six minutes at the end of the match at the Puma House of Football in Milan.
It was Francesco Camarda who opened the scoring for Milan in the first half by calmly converting a penalty.

It seemed it would be a great afternoon for Milan when Diego Sia scored acrobatically at the far post to make it 2-0.

Things got even better for Milan and Camarda when he added his second and the Rossoneri’s third before half-time with a really special looping header that completely evaded the Sassuolo goalkeeper.

By the time that the game had reached the 84th minute, Milan were still 3-0 up and the points were in the bag, or so it seemed.
Flavio Russo headed one back for Sassuolo from close range which gave the Neroverdi something to work with, although they had so little time. Things then got serious as Gabriele Vedovati made it 3-2 just a minute later, and suddenly Milan were hanging on.
In the 90th minute, Borna Knezovic scored from range and Milan had thrown it away. There were four added minutes, but a winner could not be found by either team. Milan sit third in the league, but they could have been second had they won.
Primavera walking in the steps of the first team…
Conceeding 3 goals in 6 minutes and drawing instead of winning 3 points
At least it was this game and not the last game of the scudetto season 😰 I’ve never trusted Milan even at 3 nil up since 2005
Not winning the game despite being 3-0 up at one stage is just Milan’s DNA unfortunately ;(
And many supporters wanted Abate to take over the first team if Pioli was dismissed 😆😆
Its a primavera young players have those moments and there is nothing you can do. Why do you think young leagues have more goals in total?
