MILAN (ITALPRESS) – On the day of the 200 reddish benches of Max Allegri, Milan draws 1-1 in San Siro against Genoa and is pardoned by Stanciu who, at 99°, wasted the penalty of victory, after the tie of Rafa Leao, at 92°, in response to the initial advantage of the former Colombo. Milan remains at -3 from Inter and extends its unbeatable strip to seventeen, while the team of De Rossi climbs at altitude 16 to +3 from Verona and Fiorentina.
The stake is high and the first real occasion of the game is the hosts. At 7′ on the development of a Bartesaghi cross, Gabbia heads up and forces Leali to sneer on the cross. After the scare, Genoa begins to play with technical cleanliness and personality. The 1-0 network of guests at 29′ is the result of the collective disregard of Milan, but also of the ability of the redblues to bring men into the attack zone. Norton Cuffy serves Malinovskyi, who pretends the cross and does it immediately after for Colombo, good to drink Gabbia and to realize in fall the most classic of the goals of the former (without exultation).
Milan has suffered, at 36′, the opportunity to draw: Leali denies the goal in Leao from a few steps, then on the respinta Fofana slips at the time of beating on the secure barrel net. The error costs dear to the French, remained on the bench at the interval to place Loftus-Cheek. At 58′ Milan goes in goal, but the Var erases the Pulisic network that supports the head of Gabbia with the help of the arm. Six minutes after another occasion: Loftus-Cheek crosses from the right, Bartesaghi responds to the appeal but it too widens its diagonal. Milan raises the rhythm and Allegri decides to throw in the mix the new purchase Fullkrug, which takes the place of Saelemaekers.
The last half hour of play is in fact a siege, but Leali raises the storm and does not collapse under the milanist blows, taking the scene with a great parade at 87’ on the first intention of Pulisic. Everything happens in recovery. At 92′ on the corner of Modric from the left, Frendrup extends the trajectory and Leao, in the center area, devious on the net.
At 95′ Mariani assigns a penalty to Genoa for a contact between Ellertson and Bartesaghi: from eleven meters Stanciu kicks the stars. Milan again pardoned by the eleven meters, this time not for a parade of Maignan. Milan losing points again with teams in the background of the ranking. In the end, however, San Siro is Genoa to leave with regrets.
