AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli was happy after their 1-1 draw with Inter Milan.
Milan goalkeeper Ciprian Tatarusanu was the hero with a penalty save on Lautaro Martinez. Before then, an early Hakan Calhanoglu penalty was canceled out by Inter defender Stefan de Vrij's own goal.
Pioli later said, “Inter are a strong side and we proved that we are strong too. It was a positive performance. Look at the average age difference for the starting XI between Milan and Inter. We needed time to gain that experience, form that confidence and now we can fight it out with the best in Serie A.
“There can be difficulties, but we showed courage tonight again and both teams had the opportunities to win.
“We made a naïve error on the penalty, but maintained our ideas and approach to turn this around. We could've sought Zlatan Ibrahimovic more, as we didn't give him enough service, but it's also true that we fought for every ball and never stepped back."
He added: “In all of Europe's top five Leagues, only Napoli and Milan are still unbeaten this season, and that says a lot about how we are doing."
