Milan 2-0 Genoa: Leao and Messia bring the Rossoneri back to wins and to the top

Milan returned to the top and won (after two consecutive draws) in Serie A with a 2–0 win over Genoa at the San Siro for the 33rd game of the Italian Championship. Big protagonists for Stefano Pioli’s team were Rafael Leao, who scored the first goal of the game in the 11th minute, and Messias, who scored the final score in the 87th minute.

The game had a slow pace and some good phases, with the Rossoneri having possession but generally not being particularly dangerous against Salvatore Sirigu’s house. It is significant that they managed to find nets in their first finale of the game.

In the second half, the Genoese tried to get something out of the game, but to no avail. On the contrary, the Rossoneri were the ones who threatened the most with Salamekers and Leao and scored the goal with Messias in the 87th minute, in the sustained phase in Sirigo’s frame, then with a nice finish and after first beating the experienced Italian goalkeeper his first try, the young rossoneri midfielder.

With this result, Milan climbed to the top, while Genoa remain below the relegation zone with 22 points, three less than 17th Cagliari.

Milan: Menian, Gambia, Kaloulou, Tomori, Hernandez, Tonali, Benasser, Salemakers, Leao, Cassier, Zirou.

Genoa: Sirigu, Hefti, Estigard, Hase, Korb, Fredrup, Bandelli, Galdames, Amiri, Piccoli, Ekuban.
