END OF MATCH, MILAN-GENOA 0-0. The celebration of the Rossoneri's 125th anniversary ends under a barrage of boos and protests from the Rossoneri public: but there is very little to celebrate. Milan simply had to win and they were unable to do so, for the umpteenth time this season: today's match can be summed up like this.
94′ Dispute from the Rossoneri fans in the last minutes
93′ Obscene cross of Okafor with the area full of companions
91′ Delicious free kick for Genoa from twenty metres, just outside the penalty area. Martin's shot goes high
90′ Four minutes of added time. Zanoli leaves in Genoa, Norton-Cuffy enters
89′ They risk the omelette Thiaw and Maignan: the German's back pass almost doesn't mock the goalkeeper who manages to remedy the situation
88′ Now Milan are almost in desperation: cross from the midfield which is touched by Cage but it doesn't change trajectory and ends up in Leali's arms
87′ Crazy action by Reijnders who recovers the ball and runs all over the pitch, skipping at least three opponents: support for Lion which in turn turns to Morata whose shot is deflected for a corner..
84′ Genoa's first real conclusion is a lopsided shot from Badelj, more to lighten things up than anything else… The 90th minute is approaching
80′ Esce Miretti and Vitinha enters
79′ RESPONSIBLE DEATH ERROR! What was eaten Morata: found all alone in front of the goal, he raises his aim too much and hits the crossbar. Incredible…
77′ He goes out Chukwuezeunder tone. Enter Okafor
76′ MORATA WASTES EVERYTHING! Milan manages to create a counterattack and therefore space: Reijnders finds Morata who adjusts to the left and then looks for the far corner. The shot comes out badly and ends up high
71′ It still relies on the personal solution Jimenez who tries from distance with his right foot: the ball misses the target
69′ Little order in Milan's attacks: now Genoa is starting to show itself with a little more continuity in the Rossoneri half of the pitch
66′ Still super Jimenez who leaves everyone on the right: the cross is sent away by Martin
64′ Breathing recovers the ball and Milan has space: good management by Reijnders which widens for Lion. The Portuguese's cross is in the middle Camarda and Morata but Frendrup involuntarily takes it and facilitates Leali's intervention.
62′ The match ends after an hour Liberals: good try. Enter Camarda: Fonseca is going for broke, inevitable
58′ Ball inside for insertion of Liberals who tries to head it between two, not the house specialty: the ball goes out at the bottom
57′ Milan tries to put a little more verve into it but at the moment the results are not visible…
54′ Dangerous counterattack by Genoa who recover the ball in midfield after an error Royal: prima Breathing and then Thiaw they ward off danger
51′ The tactical plan seems very similar to that of the first half
46′ MIRACLE OF LOYAL! Milan were immediately very dangerous with Emerson Royal: excellent header from a cross by Chukwueze but Leali extends himself with a great dive to the far post and smashes…
45′ We start again from 0-0! Fonseca has nothing to defend and throws in Morata: exits Abraham. Sabelli enters Genoa in place of the booked Vogliacco and on the wing of Leao and Jimenez.
END OF THE FIRST HALF, MILAN-GENOA 0-0. The first half was not very exciting, especially considering the type of party being celebrated today at San Siro. Genoa are short and tidy: the ball remains with Milan who are unable to raise the pace and find decisive openings to consistently put pressure on the Ligurians. However, Fonseca's team has some interesting opportunities, especially with Emerson Royal and especially with Chukwueze who however fails from a good position. Excellent performance by Jimenez, Liberali also did well: personalities for both. But Milan must show another type of aggression in the second half…
46′ Good cross by Lion for the head of Abraham which is closed in a corner
45′ Two minutes of injury time
44′ He tries again Jimenez with a right-footed shot from outside the area, a deflection makes the conclusion treacherous but Leali manages to control it in two halves
43′ Second yellow caused by Jimenez: the Spaniard accelerates and Zanoli has to knock him down, earning himself a warning
42′ The roles are reversed: doubtful contact in the Milan area, this time it is Liberals which causes Miretti's fall. Guide keeps the same meter and does not whistle
40′ Few spaces for the Rossoneri: Breathing he tries from a sidereal distance but doesn't go near the goal
34′ Amazing opportunity, again for Milan: almost an involuntary own goal by Badelj with his head. Save Leali with a feline shot
31′ Leao now returns, with a conspicuous dressing to dab his bloody nose
29′ We start again with Milan with 10 men
28′ Now it is Lion to remain on the ground: hit in the face by the ball, he loses blood
26′ He remains on the ground Thiaw who suffered a blow to the face following the development of a free kick in favor of Milan: the intervention of the Rossoneri medical staff was necessary. Swollen eyes for the German who returns to the pitch
24′ MILAN AGAIN! Chukwueze wastes a great opportunity: super heel play by Lion per Jimenez who had found the Nigerian player with a perfect cross to the far post who however shot high
22′ GREAT SHOT BY REIJNDERS! Free kick scheme from the short side of the area: heel of CHukwueze to free the right of Reijnders who kicks hard. A deflection sends the ball into a corner but to many it gives the illusion of a goal…
21′ First ring of Jimenez who sows only with the strength of Vogliacco's shot and forces him to foul and yellow, the first of the match: Milan are fueling
20′ Doubtful contact in the Genoa area with Liberals who tries to dribble on Miretti who counters and brings down the 2007 Rossoneri: nothing for Guida
18′ Miretti tries to emulate Che Adams and shoots from midfield: too little to surprise Mike Maignan
16′ Good idea Liberals which finds a nice track for Chukwueze who tries to free himself for the shot but is blocked
13′ Another opportunity for Milan! Reijnders recovers the ball from the opposing midfield and plays straight away Abraham who wide on the right tries the diagonal but doesn't shoot much
9′ First big opportunity for the Rossoneri! Break by Reijnders that touches for Abraham which supports for Royal who had followed the action: first intention flat shot with Leali who somehow puts it in the corner
4′ Genoa immediately makes it clear that they don't want to get upset and wait in an orderly manner: Milan start moving the ball around waiting for an opening
