(Reuters) – AC Milan had to settle for a 3-3 draw at Cagliari after Rafael Leao’s first-half brace was matched by Gabriele Zappa’s double for the hosts after the break in a Serie A thriller on Saturday.

Nadir Zortea sparked celebrations from the home fans after 65 seconds by volleying the ball into the net after a corner to give Cagliari the lead before Leao struck twice.

The Portuguese forward equalised after 15 minutes before putting Milan ahead five minutes before the break with a composed finish after slipping past the defence.

Cagliari’s Zappa levelled eight minutes into the second half but Tammy Abraham then restored Milan’s lead before Zappa scored again with a stunning volley a minute from time.

The result leaves Milan in seventh place with 18 points, seven adrift of leaders Napoli. Cagliari are 16th with 10.
