AC Milan battling for a spot in Europa League next season while Hellas Verona with their last games in Serie A.  Mathematically speaking, Verona are relegated to Serie A.  An agonizing victory for Hellas Verona claiming the victory in extremis, precisely, in the 95th minute with the goal by Luca Siligardi!

It’s AC Milan to open the score in the 21st minute with forward Jérémy Menez defeating Hellas Verona goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini with a left footed shot in the bottom left corner.
