ARAB TIMES, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25, 2021 SPORTS 15 Cagliari fi ght back from two goals down to draw 2-2 against Spezia Díaz fi res Milan to win at Sampdoria in season opener MILAN, Aug. 24, (AP): AC Milan overcame the continued absence of Zlatan Ibrahimović to open its Serie A season with a 1-0 win at Samp- doria. Brahim Díaz scored in the ninth minute and Milan’s new signing Mike Maignan made a couple of key saves to keep his side in the lead.

The veteran forward is still out after injuring his knee in May and needing surgery.
