Genoa-Milan suspended after objects were thrown on the field

Genoa-Milan suspended for a few minutes after objects and smoke bombs were thrown on the pitch during the second half of the match between the Grifone and the Rossoneri, valid for the 37th day of Serie A and decisive for the Diavolo’s Champions League sprint.

After Nkunku’s penalty that gave Milan the lead, which came at 49′ thanks to a naivety by Amorim, the Rossoblù fans threw several objects onto the field.

Referee Sozza, who stopped the game for a few minutes to wait for the smoke to clear, picked up and showed a coin thrown from the stands onto the field. The object had fallen near Sozza’s assistant. The match then resumed as normal with Allegri’s team still leading 1-0.

The stakes at stake in Marassi were very high: Milan came to the challenge with 67 points, tied with Roma and with Como two points behind, in one of the most balanced Champions League sprints in recent years. For the Rossoneri, coming off two consecutive defeats against Sassuolo and Atalanta, a victory against Genoa represents an almost obligatory step toward qualification for Europe’s top competition.
