Milan's Home Stalemate: A Night of Fruitless Attacks
AC Milan's offensive efforts failed to break through Genoa's defense, resulting in a goalless draw at San Siro. This marks Milan's fourth winless match in their last five Serie A outings, leaving them eighth in the standings.
AC Milan's recent struggles continued as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Genoa at San Siro. Despite dominating possession and creating multiple opportunities, Milan's attacks lacked precision and failed to penetrate Genoa's resolute defense. Early in the match, Emerson Royal's swift counter-attack in the 9th minute was thwarted by an excellent save from Niccolò Leali. Attempts from Samuel Chukwueze, Mattia Liberali, and Tijjani Reijnders from distance also failed to find the target.
Genoa, under Patrick Vieira's management, focused primarily on defense, rarely venturing forward. Their only shot came from beyond the halfway line, highlighting their conservative approach. In the dying minutes, Álvaro Morata came close to breaking the deadlock, with one shot missing the goal and another striking the crossbar, but Milan couldn't capitalize. This result leaves Milan with just one win in their last five Serie A matches, accumulating 23 points and remaining in eighth place. Genoa, with 16 points, climbed to 13th in the standings.
Looking ahead, Milan faces Hellas Verona at the Bentegodi Stadium in their next Serie A fixture. The Rossoneri have a strong record against Verona, winning their last seven encounters, and will aim to return to winning ways.
