VERONA (ITALPRESS) – Among a thousand difficulties and in great emergency due to the short blanket, Milan returns to winning the championship. In the first match of the 17th matchday, the Rossoneri passed 1-0 at the Bentegodi in Verona and returned to getting closer to Europe: a goal from Reijnders at the start of the second half decided the match. For Hellas, after the precious victory in Parma, a new setback arrives: if Cagliari were to win in Venice on Sunday, the gialloblù would be in the relegation zone.
Suslov and Sarr in attack for Zanetti at his first without Harroui who ended his season after breaking his cruciate. Fonseca advances Reijnders in the midfield and throws Terracciano into the midfield. Chukwueze and Leao on the outside, Abraham in front. The first half lacks any particular emotions. Suslov shoots diagonally but sends it to the back, then Kastanos also tries without luck. Milan tries to make themselves seen with Chukwueze and follows with Abraham's header: Montipò, both times, is sure to catch. Around the half hour mark, the Rossoneri's home was broken: Rafa Leao collapsed to the ground and asked for a substitution due to a muscle problem (straining of the left flexor was the first diagnosis), Theo Hernandez came on and moved Jimenez forward with the attacking midfielders. Before the break the best chance for the guests with Terracciano who controls and shoots from distance: the ball lowers and drops dangerously under the crossbar, Montipò has to intervene to put in a corner.
Two changes for Zanetti at the start of the second half: Livramento and Daniliuc came in immediately, a dull Sarr came out and Dawidowicz was booked. Verona gives the impression of being dangerous but it is Milan who take the lead. Before the goal, a good exit from Montipò to oppose Chukwueze on Jimenez's cross. The Hellas goalkeeper, always attentive, can do nothing however on the winning insertion by Reijnders who is put in front of the goalkeeper by a brilliant through ball from Fofana. The episode, in fact, is decisive. Verona tries generously, especially with Suslov, but is never really dangerous around Maignan. For the gialloblù comes the 12th defeat in 17 games, Milan returns to smiling.
