Milan folds Monza on a bitter night

Milan-Monza 2-0

Milan folds Monza on a bitter evening. 2-0 for the Rossoneri openly contested by the hottest fringe of the fans.

In a very peculiar climate, with fans from the home corner not displaying banners, openly protesting and then leaving the stadium, the first half is played at a bland pace. However, there is no shortage of chances on either side, and in the final a goal is also cancelled out to the red and white Keita Balde, one of the most active players on the field along with teammate Akpa Akpro and Rossoneri Christian Pulisic.

The game restarted without Jovic and Musah (Camarda and Chukwueze were in) and Milan immediately took the lead against a team that seven days earlier, at home against Empoli’Empoli, conceded three goals in a few minutes early in the second half.

It is almost a siege that of the hosts, with Joao Costa, deputy to the disqualified Sergio Conceição, who also plays the Alejandro Jimenez card, on the field in place of a defender, Davide Bartesaghi: Nesta changes nothing to try to change the’inertia and it rains chances, there is a resounding crossbar by Joao Felix and then, as predictable as panettone at Christmas, in minute 19′ comes Matteo Gabbia’s goal on the developments of a corner. Francesco Camarda has the opportunity of the’immediate 2-0 but finishes high. Twenty minutes from the end the visiting coach sends in Castrovilli and Sensi (out Ciurria and Caprari) but soon after Joao Felix surprises Pizzignacco on a free kick bringing the meneghini to the double advantage. There was also room in the final for Petagna, Izzo and Fofana, not for Leao, Theo Hernandez and Abraham. A gesture of great class and sensitivity by Nesta, who in the final makes the young and promising goalkeeper Andrea Mazza make his Serie A debut: the best way to end an unfortunately very bad season for the Brianzoli, who almost on the gong brushed the goal with Akpa Akpro, on which Maignan is amazing.
