The Ligurians took the lead twice, the Rossoneri overturned it, then Thiaw’s own goal. MILAN (ITALPRESS) – Milan drew 3-3 at San Siro against Genoa, a daring match, full of twists and mistakes. The match begins in a surreal atmosphere for the hosts. The fans of the Curva Sud remain silent and seated during the reading of the lineups, even giving up banners and flags, as a sign of protest against the club. The team seems to be affected and in the 4th minute Tomori commits a naive foul on Vogliacco in the area, granting the opponents the penalty. Retegui appears from the spot and displaces Sportiello and scores the guest’s 1-0. The reaction comes in the 13th minute, when Pulisic tries with a right-footed shot that hits the post squarely. The American tries again in the 39th minute with a shot from the edge, neutralized for a corner by Martinez.
Florenzi appears from the flag, with Hernandez going to break away, once again worrying an eager Martinez, who was able to save his team with a dive. The Rossoneri push and score the equalizer in the 45th minute. Chukwueze moves the ball to the left foot and, from the right, passes a kissing cross to Florenzi, who heads in from two steps, making the most of a well-timed insertion. We go to half-time at 1-1. At the start of the second half, the Ligurians took the lead again after just 3 minutes. Vogliacco puts in a great cross from the right which Ekuban pounces on, who heads between the two opposing centre-backs and passes Sportiello to score the fourth goal of his season. In the 24th minute, Giroud missed a sensational opportunity by trying a dig at the outgoing Martinez who went wide and thwarted an assist from the right from the newly introduced Okafor. But the goal is in the air and arrives in the 27th minute. Florenzi kicks a perfect corner from the left, catching Gabbia in the center of the area, who stands taller than anyone and scores the 2-2 with a header. The comeback was completed on the half hour mark. Pulisic works the ball on the right and brushes a ball to the far post which Giroud volleys in with his left foot, beating Martinez for 3-2. Ten minutes from the end, the Curva Sud supporters even abandon the stadium. However, the match isn’t over yet and in the 42nd minute the score is 3-3. Thorsby escapes to Reijnders on the right and puts in a poisonous low shot which reaches Tomori who, in an attempt to sweep, sends it back onto the newly introduced Thiaw who involuntarily beats Sportiello. In the final nothing more will happen, with the match ending in a draw. Milan thus remains in second position at 71. Genoa, twelfth, rises to 43 points. – photo Ipa Agency – (ITALPRESS). xh9/glb/red 05-May-24 20:05 .
