Milan, draw amid booing at San Siro: Genoa snatches point

Yet another setback for Paulo Fonseca’s Milan, stuck at home in a 0-0 draw by Genoa in the Sunday post-match of the 16th day of Serie A: the Rossoneri, who protested a penalty not awarded in the first half, did not celebrate their 125th anniversary in the best way and in the standings slipped to -14 from the leading Atalanta. For Vieira’s men a precious point that is worth 13th place in the standings.

Milan played the game in the first half but Genoa defended well and suffered little. The Rossoneri create intermittently and protest on 20' for a penalty not awarded for a foul on Liberali. For the rest there were only a few initiatives by Chukwueze and Reijnders: non-existent instead the Grifone in the offensive phase, Pinamonti è too isolated in attack.

Resumption, Morata takes Abraham’s place, the Rossoneri start with a decidedly more aggressive attitude, but always with little concreteness. Fonseca tries to shuffle the cards by inserting Camarda for Liberali, just the rossonero baby tries a header on Leao’s cross without success.

Fonseca tries to shake up his side with the entry of Okafor. Milan accentuates the pressure in the last minutes, Morata hits a crossbar in 79' shortly afterwards the Spaniard again goes to the conclusion on an assist from Leao but his shot is deflected. At 89'89; shivers for Maignan after Thiaw’s very dangerous back pass: the French goalkeeper somehow saves himself.

Copious booing and protest at the end of the match: Milan slips to -14 from the top.
