Depleted Milan hold Juve to close in on Champions League
AC Milan took another step towards Champions League qualification after Saturday's goalless draw at Serie A rivals Juventus.
Stefano Pioli is close to guaranteeing Milan, in second, a spot in Europe's top club competition in what will almost certainly be his final season at the club.
Pioli is set to be replaced by Julen Lopetegui after a campaign which has ended in disaster, with a Europa League exit at the hands of Roma and a humiliating city derby defeat which gave the league title to Inter Milan.
However, with a top-five finish guaranteeing Champions League football Milan are 16 points ahead of sixth-placed Atalanta, who have six games left to play starting with Sunday's home clash with struggling Empoli.
A top-five place basically assured before kick-off, Milan had little to play for and host of absences following a stormy end to their painful loss in Monday's derby.
Pioli had a threadbare defence with Theo Hernandez, Davide Calabria -- both sent off late on in the derby -- and Fikayo Tomori all suspended, while Simon Kjaer and Pierre Kalulu was also unavailable.
To make matters worse Milan then lost France goalkeeper Mike Maignan to a hamstring problem suffered during the pre-match warm-up.
However Juve are been in dismal form, winning two league matches since the end of January, and even with Milan severely depleted Massimiliano Allegri's team struggled to create clear-cut chances.
The best opportunities of the game nonetheless came for the hosts.
Five minutes after the break Maignan's replacement Marco Sportiello kept out Filip Kostic's snap shot and then pounced to stop Danilo scoring on the rebound.
And as Juve pushed in the final minutes Adrien Rabiot looked on in horror as he was denied a certain goal by Malick Thiaw's goalline block after another important Sportiello stop.
However the draw means Bologna can move level on 65 points with third-placed Juve with a home win over Udinese.
Earlier Matteo Pessina's 96th minute penalty earned mid-table Monza a 1-1 draw at Lecce, who were denied a potentially huge win for their survival bid in a incident-packed finale.
A packed Stadio Via del Mare erupted when Nikola Krstovic smashed home what delirious fans thought was the winner in the second minute of stoppage time.
But the celebrations were still bubbling in the stands when Lorenzo Venuti was penalised for handball and Pessina casually slotted home the leveller.
Lecce should still be safe from the drop as they sit eight points above the relegation zone in 13th position.
