First half. Predefined tactical theme: Milan commands the game, Verona closed tightly waiting for a possible space to exploit on the restart. Bernede finds it on the left, enters the area but instead of shooting he prefers the low center: the action fades. Milan leaves it at that, the Scaligeri try again without success. In the 20th minute Loftus-Cheek signs the first Rossoneri chance: dry conclusion from the limit, good for the extreme Montipò that the ball, deflected, ends up in the corner, from which nothing springs.

Second chance for Milan (28′): on the foot of the incoming Nkunku the 1-0 but he fails, under the goal, to deflect Loftus-Cheek’s low center into the net. Pushing, now, Allegri’s team, Verona forced to retreat more and more into their own sixteen yards. Niasse tries, on the other front, low shot to the side. Two minutes of recovery time: Milan corner, Rabiot corrects, Pulisic pops up at the second post, goal: Milan-Verona 1-0. Everyone in the locker room.

Resume. Bertolini, the coach who has replaced the disqualified Zanetti on the bench, inserts Orban and Sarr in Verona but not 30 seconds pass that Nkunku is landed by Nelsson in the box, penalty according to referee Fabbri, the same Nkunku makes it 2-0 from the penalty spot, his first goal of the season. In the 7th minute he signed his second goal for the Rossoneri: shot from outside by Modric, Montipò’s touch, ball on the post and back into the box, Nkunku was the quickest to score. Verona tries to react, Milan leaves every draft out of the goal. Montipò protagonist again: he says no to De Winter.
