Welcome to Sportstar's live blog of the Serie A match between Salernitana and AC Milan, being played at the Stadio Arechi in Salerno, Italy.
We are still hungry and now we want to cement our place in history.” Last season we made AC Milan history by winning (the Serie A). Stefano Pioli’s second-placed side trail the leader by eight points and face mid-table Salernitana, which has won only one of six Serie A meetings against Milan.
AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has named his first starting line-up of 2023 as the year begins with a game against Salernitana at the Stadio Arechi.
Alexis Saelemaekers will start as the right winger and Rafael Leao will be on the opposite flank, with Olivier Giroud the centre-forward even though he only returned to training a few days ago, given the current injury problems in that department. Sandro Tonali and Ismael Bennacer have been picked as the midfield double pivot with Brahim Diaz ahead of them as the central attacking midfielder over Charles De Ketelaere. Ciprian Tatarusanu has once again been given the nod to start in goal given Mike Maignan’s injury woes, with Davide Calabria, Pierre Kalulu, Fikayo Tomori and Theo Hernandez making up what was the ‘first choice’ back four from last season.

Standout performer Rafael Leao was first to knock on Guillermo Ochoa's goal only seven minutes into the game. However, the Mexican goalkeeper anticipated his ...
He pounced on Lassana Coulibaly’s cross on the far post to equal Marco Di Vaio’s record as Salernitana’s joint-top scorer in Serie A with 12 goals. Giroud volleyed the ball straight into Ochoa, who stood firm to deny the Milan frontman and was quick on his feet to stop Charles De Ketelaere’s attempt from the rebound. Junior Sambia received a precise pass inside the box but sent his shot a whisker wide of the far post from a promising position. VAR once again came to Salernitana’s rescue in the 75th minute.

[Brahim Diaz](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/246532/Brahim-Díaz), who twice came close in the first half, finally found the net around the hour-mark following a set piece but the goal was disallowed because he was offside. [Olivier Giroud](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/88965/Olivier-Giroud) then sent his header wide but it did not prove to be a huge miss for the visitors as Tonali doubled their lead within five minutes with a long-range strike into the bottom corner after his first attempt was blocked. [Rafael Leao](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/258917/rafael-leao) and Tonali struck in the first half as second-placed Milan moved to 36 points, five behind league leaders [Napoli](/soccer/team?id=114) who play away to Inter Milan later.
AC Milan clinched all three points against Salernitana and thus started the new year in the best way possible. Several of the Rossoneri players did well and ...
Gabbia (6): Came in and won the ball back immediately. De Ketelaere (6): A positive day for him as he did well on more than one occasion. Tonali (7.5): Brilliant ball to pick out Leao for the first goal and he did really well to score himself. Bennacer (6.5): A key player for Milan especially in the defensive phase today. Calabria (6.5): It was a big difference for Milan to have him on the right-hand side. Tatarusanu (6): Salernitana had a whopping zero shots on target up until their only goal of the game and that says a lot about what the Romanian had to do.
