Milan beat Genoa 2-0 in the match valid for the 33rd matchday of Serie A and maintain the first place in the standings. The Rossoneri lead with 71 points and 2 points clear of Inter, who won 3-1 at La Spezia. Genoa remains penultimate with 22 points and sees salvation further and further away.
The verdict matures at the end of a match that Milan starts with the foot on the accelerator. The hosts break through at 11 ‘. Kalulu runs to the right and crosses, Leao falls on the ball: left crossed, 1-0. The immediate advantage seems to affect the Rossoneri, who are content to manage the game without pushing continuously. Genoa does not create much but remains hooked to the game, also because Saelemaekers wastes a colossal chance for doubling by shooting high with a left foot from a few steps.
The script partially changes in the second half: Genoa tries to push and, even if they never get to really engage Maignan, it creates a couple of alarming situations for the Rossoneri defense. In the final, Milan returns to sting taking advantage of the spaces granted by the Ligurian rearguard. Leao, triggered by Rebic, engages Sirigu with a powerful diagonal. At 87 ‘the curtain falls. Theo Hernandez’s percussion initiates the action concluded by Messias. Sirigu remedies, but cannot oppose the tap-in, 2-0 and game over. Before the triple final whistle, glory also for Maignan who performs in a great save on Hernani’s header.
