In a desperate scramble in front of goal Brignoli headed in five minutes into injury time to give the side from outside Naples their first point in 15 games.
“Someone from the bench told me to go up, I went to jump and I closed my eyes,” said Brignoli.
Giacomo Bonaventura had opened for Milan after 38 minutes at the Stadio Vigorito before George Puscas pulled Benevento level five minutes after the break.
Nikola Kalinic got Milan back in front seven minutes later before Alessio Romagnoli was sent off for a second bookable offence leaving the visitors a man down for the final 15 minutes.
