AC Milan demonstrated once again its resilience in Serie A by coming back from a disadvantage and winning 2-1 as a visitor against Genoa at the Luigi Ferraris stadium, on the thirty-fifth matchday of the championship. In a match where Genoa took the lead in the second half, the 'Rossoneri' reacted with determination and secured three key points in their struggle to climb the standings and reach cup spots.
The first half of the match was intense, with notable interventions from goalkeeper Mike Maignan, standing out as the figure of Milan during the moments of greatest pressure. At 15 minutes, a loss in the buildup by Reijnders led to a lethal counterattack that Vitinha, recently entered, turned into a 1-0 with an impossible shot for Maignan in the corner.
Milan, far from despairing, managed to equalize in the 31st minute through an excellent combination between Giménez and Leao, whose deflected shot confused goalkeeper Leali. A minute later, the visitors completed the comeback: Leao assisted Joao Félix inside the area, whose shot was unintentionally deflected by Frendrup, marking the definitive 2-1.
With this victory, Milan reaches 57 points and consolidates in ninth place in the table, five units behind Bologna, their next opponent in Serie A and in the Coppa Italia final on May 14 in Rome, and six behind Lazio, the last team in cup spots for the next season. For its part, Patrick Vieira's Genoa remains in thirteenth place with 39 points, away from relegation but with no margin to relax.
Genoa created the first clear chances of the match, especially through Norton-Cuffy and Messias, but the French goalkeeper responded with remarkable agility and reflexes. The outcome of the match occurred in the second half, with a Milan that knew how to maintain composure and turn around an adverse result with class and determination.
