There is hope for a struggling AC Milan.   A much needed victory for  Milan  battling  to end the crisis and climb to the coveted 3rd position which still seems an impossible mission.  Cesena  in deep crisis remaining in the relegation zone and dreaming to survive in Serie A.

AC Milan opening the score in the 22nd minute.  It is midfielder Giacomo Bonaventura to defeat Cesena goalkeeper Nicola Leali with a right footed shot in the bottom right corner.  The assist is by forward Jeremy Menez.  It’s the 4th goal by Bonaventura this season.

Tough situation for Cesena.  In the 90th minute Referee Tommasi giving a penalty to AC Milan conceded by Cesena midfielder Carlos Carbonero after a foul on Milan defender Luca Antonelli.  It is forward Giampaolo Pazzini to convert the penalty with a right footed shot in the center.

There are 11 precedents at the San Siro Stadium.  Stats showing Milan with 9 wins, 2 draws and Cesena without a win.  As for goals scored, it’s overwhelming to see Milan scoring 18 goals and Cesena just 1.  On paper, AC Milan are favorites to win, but seeing the inconsistency everything could change.
