AC Milan climbed to second place in Serie A with a 2-0 win over relegation-threatened Benevento at San Siro on Saturday thanks to goals from Hakan Calhanoglu and Theo Hernandez. Milan rose to provisional second spot on 69 points before their top-four rivals Atalanta (68 points), Napoli (66) and Juventus (66) play on Sunday. The result extended Benevento's winless league run to six games and Filippo Inzaghi's side remain 18th on 31 points. But Milan eventually doubled their lead when Montipo could only parry an Ibrahimovic shot into the path of Hernandez, who fired home the rebound. Gianluca Lapadula's glancing header was narrowly wide for the visitors, but Milan held on for an important win ahead of their visit to Juventus next Sunday.
