AC Milan missed the opportunity to secure a home win. Milan and Genoa concluded Serie A Week 19 with a draw on Thursday, January 8, 2026, at the San Siro Stadium in Milan. It was an astonishing finish where everything unfolded: a 1-1 tie. Milan accumulated 39 points, holding the 2nd position, just 3 points behind Inter, who are in 1st place with 42 points. The key takeaway is that Milan has shown struggles against teams in the lower half of the standings, unlike their performances against the top teams. De Rossi's squad managed to grab a crucial point away from home against the Rossoneri, but they left feeling a bit disappointed after Stanciu missed a penalty in added time. Nevertheless, Genoa should be commended for their brave first half. Genoa took the lead in the 28th minute. Former Milan player Lorenzo Colombo netted a goal with a right-footed shot from the center of the box into the bottom left corner, assisted by Ruslan Malinovskyi. In the second half, Milan became more dominant, urgently seeking the equalizer. Pulisic found the back of the net around the hour mark, but it was ruled out due to a handball by the American. Milan finally equalized in the 92nd minute. Rafael Leão scored with a header from the center of the box into the bottom left corner after a corner conceded by Johan Vásquez. Just before the end of added time, Mariani awarded a penalty for a foul involving Bartesaghi and Ellertsson: Stanciu stepped up to take the penalty but shot high over the crossbar.   ⚽️  Goals:   28' Colombo (G), 90+2' Rafael Leão (M). 🟨  Yellow Cards:  69' Gabbia (M), 79' Leali (G), 90+6' Pavlović (M), 90+6' Maignan (M), 90+6' Tomori (M). ✅  Official Lineups - Formations - Tabellino: Lineup AC MILAN (3-5-2): Maignan; Pavlović, Gabbia (75' Athekame), Tomori; Bartesaghi, Rabiot, Modrić, Fofana (46' Loftus-Cheek), Saelemaekers (65' Füllkrug); Pulišić, Leão.
