Modrić's late victory over lowly Pisa saves AC Milan's blushes.

On Friday, AC Milan defeated Pisa 2-1 thanks to a late goal from Luka Modrić, cutting the deficit against Serie A leader Inter Milan to five points.

On Saturday, Inter takes on Juventus, who are in fourth place.


Milan easily defeated the second-from-bottom team, which had only won one league game this season, after drawing three of its previous six games, including against struggling Fiorentina and Genoa.

After a sluggish start, Milan took control when Niclas Füllkrug missed a penalty kick and Ruben Loftus-Cheek scored the first goal just before halftime when he rose unmarked to head home a cross from the right.

But when Felipe Loyola equalized with 20 minutes remaining, Pisa threatened to ruin the visitors' hopes of winning the championship.
