First Milan shot was by Kevin Prince Boateng from outside the box but it was easily captured in the hands of Antonio Mirante.  while Parma’s first threat came from a Mucassi costless kick that slightly touched the cross bar.

Minutes later Pabon’s cross sent Abbiati flying to punch the ball and none of the Parma players was able to connect with it.

For most of the first half Milan dominated the game holding on to the ball swiftly passing it but failing to break the wall created by the former Milanello Roberto Donadoni who closed all the doors on Allegri’s men, refuting  them of accessing his box.

The Italian Egyptian Stephan El Shaarawy single handedly was able to leave Parma’s defense lying on the pitch passing them one after one with his skills and pace, clarifying his talent week after week but unfortunately the 19-year-old lacked the final touch to send any of his teammates in front of goal.

Only threat from Milan’s new striker was from outside the box as Bojan who started for the first time in the rossoneri jersey fired the ball over the cross bar.  

Only five minutes after the start of the second half the new Swedish comer showed his first moment of brilliance when he gave the ball to the little pharaoh who’s shot was enough to break the Donadoni curse and score Milan’s first goal.

Bojan Krkić did not stop their as minutes later he came with another bewildering cross that sent Boateng clear on goal but his header failed to hit the target.

 Not once did Kevin Prince Boateng’s desire to score perish as he directed a bullet from outside the box but it was tipped out by the goalkeeper.

Gianluca Musacci assisted the ball to Daniele Gallopa from a costless kick; the Italian midfielder came with a left footed stunner that equalized for Parma as Christian Abbiati failed to reach the ball.

In the last ten minutes Montolivo’s shot came after a set piece but the luminescent Mirante was still up to the task and saved I Crociati from a defeat.

The Colombian mixture at the back for Milan showed stability in form and were able to deny Parma of scoring any goals from open play, but note that Milan’s only Serie A clean sheet this season came with the suspension of Massimiliano Allegri…is it Super Pippo’s time yet?
