Milan’s two-minute blitzkrieg in rainy Genoa

Severe warning for rain and thunderstorm was issued in the city of Genoa and both teams had to endure 90 minutes of rain, but that was the hardest thing which happened tonight for Genoa and AC Milan plalyers and fans. On the pitch, it was not so hard, as both teams had nothing to fight for and acted like that. The home team, led by Patrick Vieira from the bench was the better opponent but due to unfortunate circumstances lost 2-1 to AC Milan. Rossoneri, who are all but out of the European football through the league, but can play in UEFA competition if they defeat Bologna in Coppa Italia final, remained unbeaten in 14 of their last 15 league games against Genoa (10 wins and 4 draws).AC Milan pulls off an insane comeback 🔥 to snatch all 3 points against Genoa! 💥 From 1–0 down to 2–1 up what a turnaround! 🙌⚽Video Courtesy: Serie A#SerieA #ACMilan #Genoa pic.twitter.com/ZXtgH5xW0R— STARZPLAY | ستارزبلاي (@STARZPlayArabia) May 5, 2025 Milan have won six of their last seven games at the Ferraris against Genoa (1 draw), but it wasn‘t a deserved triump. Genoa was the better team which tried more, but Milan‘s keeper Mike Maignan first saved his teammates with two excellent saves, before Genoa players participated (unwillingly) in both Milan goals.Gigio’s calvary: He atoned for his sins and how goes for the gloryIf the players of both clubs have been more concentrated, the score at half-time would have been 2-1 instead of 0-0. In case of Genoa chances, it has to be said that Milan keeper Mike Maignan had two really fantastic saves, while Milan players on the other side were not so precise as they should have been. The French international made his first save after only eight minutes, when he stopped Norton-Cuffy‘s shot. He shone again in the 23rd minute, this time saving Junior Messias‘ shot. The visitors made their first shot on goal in the 37th minute (a weak try by Theo), but then an excellent chance followed. Rafael Leão’s through ball to Pulisic created an opportunity but Genoa keeper Leali came forward and stopped the American from scoring.The Tower may be leaning, but Pisa go straight to Serie A!The second half was even worse than the first and with less chances, but at least we saw three goals. It was 60th minute when Marseille flop Vitinha came in and just a minute later his first touch in the game resulted in a goal, his first after over a year. But Milan needed just two minutes to turn the game around, and both goals came with ‘help‘ from Genoa players. Norton-Cuffy tried to stop Rafael Leao from scoring from close range, but the ball touched him and went into the net. The next attack resulted in a game-winning goal which was an own goal by Frendrup. Rafael Leao received the ball from Loftus-Cheek and crossed but Frendrup scored while trying to get ahead of two opponents. Coach Conseisao immediatelly introduced Walker and Musah in order to ‘close‘ the game and succeded. Three games before the end, with this win, Milan is still six points away from the Conference League spot and depend on other teams‘ results, so the Coppa Italia final is still the best option for them.SERIE A – MATCHDAY 35Friday Torino – Venezia 1-1 (0-1)/Vlasic 77 pen – Perez 37/Saturday Cagliari – Udinese 1-2 (1-1)/Zortea 35 – Zarraga 27, Kristensen 67/Parma – Como 0-1 (0-0)/Strefezza 79/Lecce – Napoli 0-1 (0-1)/Raspadori 24/Inter – Verona 1-0 (1-0)/Asllani 9 pen/Sunday Empoli – Lazio 0-1 (0-1)/Dia 1/Monza – Atalanta (0-2)/De Ketelaere 12, 23/Roma – Fiorentina 1-0 (1-0)/Dovbyk 45+5/Bologna – Juventus 1-1 (0-1)/Freuler 54 – Thuram 9/Monday Genoa – Milan 1-2 (0-0)/Vitinha 61 – Leao 76, Frendrup (og) 77/
