Without a victory in their last five games, with three defeats and elimination from the Europa League, Milan suffered another blow on Sunday after being held to a last-minute draw by Genoa at the San Siro, with the Rossoneri side the two losses, managed the comeback and finally delivered a disappointing 3-3.
Still in second place, with the Champions League still not secured, although it seemed only an hour away, the way in which Milan ruined their reaction to being 1-2 down has brought them back to the desperate disappointment of recent times. week, including a 3-3 by Thiaw with his own goal, after Tomori’s clearance and in the presence of Mario Retegui. Unforeseen.
Retegui opened the scoring from a penalty
In the 5th minute, Milan lost 0-1. Tomori scored a penalty about Vogliacco. The Italian-Argentine launch Mateo Retegui, with determination and power, impossible for goalkeeper Sportiello. More doubts for the ‘rossonero’ team.
Moments later, with difficulty, Milan insisted on a tie. Pulisic tries from distance, frustrated by an impressive stretch by Spanish goalkeeper Josep Martínez, who flew out to keep it 0-1. He later also cleared Theo Hernández’s shot. He missed Florenzi’s header, very single and accurate, on the brink of half time for 1-1.
Genoa struck again
It was not enough for Milan. The start of the second half was again complicated. The local team has demerit in its defense, but Genoa also has merit in its action, ended with a superb header from Ekuban which, three minutes after 1-1, once again forced Pioli’s team to face another deficit. Come back.
Again, it costs him. Chukwueze pounced offside on goal which was finally disallowed moments later; Theo Hernández crashed his shot into the goalkeeper’s hands when he had many better options in a counterattack; The public is getting impatient with the stands; Giroud produced perhaps the worst shot of his career in front of the goalkeeper, when the easiest thing is to score… His shot does not even have to be stopped by the goalkeeper.
Gabbia and Giroud made it 3-2 before the final blow
AND then Gabbia appeared to connect his cross header against the Genoa goal net In the 72nd minute, Milan chased 2-2, which did not stop there. Two minutes later, at 74, Giroud corrected his previous mistake with an accurate volley inside the area after a perfect center from Pulisic to complete the comeback, which their rival suddenly leveled, in the 88th minute, with a cross from Thorsby, a hubbub and an own goal said Thiaw.
