AC Milan has recovered from the extremely painful defeat against Internazionale last weekend (5-1). Stefano Pioli’s men won 1-0 against Hellas Verona at their own San Siro on Saturday afternoon. Rafael Leão was responsible for the only goal of the match early in the match. Milan climbs to second place for the time being, although Juventus can take that place again later on Saturday if it wins at Sassuolo.
Particularities:
Due to heavy rain, the kick-off of the game took place 25 minutes later than initially planned. According to Football Italy Milan defender Fikayo Tomori reportedly pointed out to referee Fabio Marersca the dangerous conditions of the wet pitch, prompting a postponement. A little later the kick-off could still take place and the Milan supporters were rewarded for their patience. Hellas suffered a fatal loss of ball in midfield, allowing Olivier Giroud to put Leão away. The Portuguese remained calm and finished in the far corner: 1-0. Milan, where Tijjani Reijnders played the entire match, did not convince. However, Hellas proved unable to really make things difficult for Milan.
???????! Now things are going completely wrong.. ??
And so it is Rafael Leão with the opening goal for AC Milan: 1-0! ??#ZiggoSport #SerieA #MilanVerona pic.twitter.com/LzrqGzTG0g— Ziggo Sport Voetbal (@ZS_Voetbal) September 23, 2023
