“It's a point earned” commented Max Allegri bitterly after Milan's dramatic home draw against Daniele De Rossi's Genoa. But the 1-1 draw at San Siro tells us two other things: 1) Milan's draw makes theInter who now find themselves top of the table with three points over the Rossoneri, second in the standings ahead of Naples; 2) as on other occasions, Allegri's Milan gives its best against the big teams but suffers against the small ones, as was evident from the first league match with the sensational home defeat against Cremonese.
That said, yesterday's match was a rollercoaster of emotions because Genoa, true to the spirit of their new coach, fought hard and came close to pulling off a coup. Milan threatened immediately, but it took all the skill of goalkeeper Leali to save the Genoa goal. But in the 28th minute, the former player scored: Columbo He capitalized on a great cross from Malinovskyi and beat Gabbia to beat Maignan. Milan desperately sought an equalizer and had Pulisic's goal disallowed by VAR for handball. But for the Rossoneri, a goal should have come deep into injury time. In the 92nd minute, Lion, again him, scored with a header. But it wasn't over. In the 99th minute Genoa had the chance to make a coup with a penalty that Stanciu It failed spectacularly, to the despair of the entire team. One by one: Genoa takes a step forward towards safety, Milan takes one step back in the race for the Scudetto.
