Christian Pulisic saw a fine saved when AC Milan was beaten 2-1 by Torino.
The Rossoneri missed the opportunity to close the gap on the top four, because Gvidas Ginitis' 76th minutes strike all the points for the hosts sealed.
Torino took the lead on bizarre fashion after just five minutes, with Mike Maignan's attempt to clear up Malick Thiaw and in his own network.
Milan was given a golden chance to be the same in the 32nd minute when Marcus Pedersen was punished for handball, but Vanja Milinkovic-Savic advised it correctly guessing to keep Pulisic's Spot-Kick out.
Milinkovic-Savic made a series of fine rescues to keep the Rossoneri from a distance until the 74th minute, when his resistance was finally broken by the fierce battle of Tijjani Reijnders in the upper corner.
Only two minutes later, however, gieitis scored what the winner turned out to be, to hold on to a free kick and drill a low shot past Maignan.
4-vanja Milinkovic-Savic has saved four penalties, more than any other goalkeeper in the BIG-5 European competitions 24/25; Among goalkeepers with at least four penalties that have been confronted in a #serie season since 2005/06, he has the best savings percentage (80%: 4/5). Unbeatable.
