The point guaranteed Milan a share of the first division lead with Parma, which needed substitute Filippo Inzaghi's injury-time winner in a 3-2 win at home to Piacenza on Sunday.
Despite the dropped points, Milan took comfort from its chief rivals Juventus's 4-0 humiliation at Lazio, now third in the table with 16 points from eight matches, one off the top.
It was the champion's second defeat in a week following its elimination from the Italian Cup at Atalanta and coach Marcello Lippi described his side as "down and out."
Juventus, due to meet Glasgow Rangers in the European Champions' League on Wednesday, continue to look a pale shadow of the side that boasts a 100 percent record in that competition.
"Our players think only of the Champions Cup," said president Vittorio Chiusano, "you see the result in the league."

Bayern Munich needed two late goals to beat VfB Stuttgart 5-3 Saturday in the Bundesliga, capping a wild match in which the teams traded five goals in the final 14 minutes.
First-place Munich appeared to have the match wrapped up when Mehmet Scholl converted a penalty shot in the 63rd minute. At that point Munich held a seemingly comfortable 3-0 lead.
That's when the two teams, playing in front of 63,000 at Munich's Olympia Stadium, engaged in the shootout.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
