Milan beats Genoa 1-2 at the Luigi Ferraris stadium.
The first real goal-scoring chance of the first half is for Genoa: Norton-Cuffy gets between Reijnders and Theo Hernandez and shoots well with his left foot, but finds a great save from Maignan. In the 21st minute, the first yellow card of the match arrives, for a late challenge by Pavlovic on Messias. In the 23rd minute, Maignan is brilliant again!
On a cross into the middle, Pulisic risks an own goal but the Rossoneri goalkeeper stretches in a dive and keeps it out. On the rebound, number 16 also blocks a shot from Messias. In the 26th minute, bad news for Milan: problem for Fofana, who is forced to be substituted, Leao takes his place.
The first real Rossoneri chance comes in the 36th minute with Theo Hernandez. The Frenchman takes all the space centrally to shoot on goal, but his left-footed shot from the edge is blocked by Leali. In the 41st minute, a monumental chance for the Rossoneri. Leao plays in Pulisic, who slips through and finds himself one-on-one with Leali, who however saves as he comes out!
The first quarter of an hour of the second half does not see major flashes from either side. Genoa finds the goal to take the lead in the 60th minute. Ball lost by Reijnders and Grifone counterattack, with the ball reaching Vitinha (who had just come on a minute earlier), who opens up his foot and beats Mike Maignan. A quarter of an hour from the end, Milan's equalizing goal arrives. A ball in depth for Gimenez, who with his right foot sends it across to Leao: the Portuguese shoots, and a decisive deflection is found. 1-1.
One minute later, the Rossoneri also find the lead. Leao attacks the space and serves Joao Felix in the middle who, as he shoots, sees the intervention of Frendrup, who scores an own goal. 1-2 Milan! After five minutes of added time, the referee blows the final whistle: the Rossoneri clinch their second consecutive league win, as relayed via MilanPress.it.
