AC Milan have taken the advantage at the San Siro in their UEFA Europa League knockout stage encounter against Rennes.
The opening half has been mostly controlled by the home team, who have enjoyed the lion’s share of possession and the majority of attempts on goal. Milan have struck the woodwork and created two significant opportunities.
However, it is former Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus Cheek who deserves credit for granting them the lead in the 32nd minute.
