Among the many aspects surrounding Milan’s start to the season, one of the most concerning is certainly the fact that the Rossoneri have yet to score a single goal in the first half. Across four Serie A matches and one Europa League game, the opening 45 minutes have always passed without Amorim’s side finding the net. And, to be fair, only against Venezia did Milan come close to scoring in the first half, creating a few dangerous chances, as relayed via Milannews.it.
Things have often changed after the break, except in Wednesday’s latest match against Benfica in the opening round of the Europa League. The earliest goal came from Alphadjo Cissé against Torino, in the 64th minute. It is striking to look at the timing of Milan’s seven goals: six of them came between the 64th and 69th minutes, remarkably with one goal in each minute. The only exception was the own goal against Venezia, which came in a different phase of the match, in the 89th minute.
