<h3>A First Half to Forget (Almost)</h3>
The first half? Let's just say it wasn't exactly a masterpiece of attacking football. Both teams seemed a little… hesitant? Maybe it was the nerves? I mean, it's a big match, right? Big pressure. Bratislava, playing defensively, really frustrated Milan's usually slick passing game. They were clogging up the midfield like crazy. It was all a bit cagey, to be honest. Lots of midfield battles, a few fouls, nothing too exciting. I almost fell asleep, I'm not gonna lie. My pizza got cold!
Then, bam. A goal out of nowhere! Thirty-seventh minute, a long-range screamer from Bratislava's right-winger, some guy named Kovač. What a strike! Absolutely thunderous. The keeper didn't even move. I almost choked on my pizza. Suddenly, the match was alive! 1-0 to Bratislava at halftime! I was NOT expecting that.

The second half was a completely different story. Milan came out firing, showing the real Milan. Their passing improved dramatically. They were much more aggressive – really pushing for an equalizer. You could feel the momentum shift. It was palpable, even through my screen. I was starting to get my hopes up.
Around the 65th minute, Pioli made some tactical changes that were pure genius. The substitutions added some much-needed pace and creativity to the attack. It really turned the tide! Then, seventy-two minutes in – goal! A beautiful header from Giroud! What a player! The stadium exploded. I almost broke my remote celebrating!
The energy shifted completely. Milan was on fire now! We were pushing for a winner. The atmosphere was electric, even on my TV. It felt like the entire stadium was on the edge of their seats. And then, in injury time! Another goal! A stunning free kick from Leao! I jumped up and down so much my neighbors probably called the police!
