VERONA (ITALPRESS) – Victory of measure for Milan, which beats 1-0 Verona to Bentegodi and hooks Naples in second place of the ranking. They now increase to eight points of advantage of the Rossoneri on the fifth place, with the goal of Rabiot who decides the race and thus puts a potential mortgage on the qualification in Champions of his. So much balance and a few occasions in the first part, with Milan that initially leaves the ball management at Verona and then try to exploit the spaces left by the stairs. The first ring of the game arrives at 32′, with the quick transition of the Rossoneri to find the combination between Pulisic and Rabiot that sends the French, para Montipò. Chance for the former Juventus, which will shortly later mark the net of the Milanist advantage: imbued with the right time of Leão precisely for Rabiot, who with his mancino crosses thus beating the goalkeeper of the Hellas. The Verona reacts and in the recovery goes near the paris, with the escape of Belghali that runs behind the defense of Milan and attempts the right interior, Maignan is responsive to close the mirror. It closes the first time, with Allegri that in the shooting asks even more patience to his, while Verona appears more favourable.
Sammarco inserts Vermesan, who in half resumption twice impaurses Milan: first the powerful conclusion that after a deviation forces Maignan to dive; then with a turn from the left, a short distance from the second pole. Brivido per i rossoneri, che al 74′ would find the doubling on the cross of Saelemaekers for the winning shot of Gabbia, however, vanquished by an earlier outage of Gimenez. Milan back to defend itself, giving the ball management to Verona and trying to restart. At 90′ is Saelemaekers to have the 2-0 ball, on the left handy around from the inside of the area that is saved by Valentini on the line. A final siege for Verona, which fails to find the lead for the draw, surrendering to the fifth consecutive defeat and the last place in the standings.
