Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Genoa, 12th position with 42 points and a negative goal difference of -2
AC Milan, 2nd position with 70 points and a positive goal difference of +25

AC Milan failed their mission to win the Serie A Week 35 game ended with a draw against Genoa on Sunday 5 May 2024 at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy. This draw is like a victory for Genoa and a flop for AC Milan.  Surely, the ex-Milan player Alberto Gilardino and now Genoa Coach can celebrate this draw. Nevertheless, Milan kept the 2nd position reaching 71 points while Genoa remained in the 12th position with 42 points being -2 points below Monza in the 11th position.

One of the match’s highlights happened in the stands and not on the pitch. The Milan fans in the Curva Sud remained silent throughout the match. It was a sign of protest to show their displeasure with the team. To make matters worse, the fans left with 10 minutes remaining. You bet that the message to the Club is loud and clear to improve the team with better signings.

Everything happened in the second half. After a few minutes, Gilardino’s team took the lead again with a precise header from Ekuban. After countless chances, Milan overtook with a crazy one-two: first Gabbia and then Giroud protagonists of the comeback. Genoa seemed to be at the mercy and now doomed, but a carom that leads to Thiaw’s own goal restores parity and allows the two teams to take home a point each.

Previously, AC Milan had won all of their last four matches against Genoa in Serie A and in their history in the competition they have only beaten Grifone multiple times in a row: seven, between 1959 and 1963.

Genoa silenced San Siro in the 5th minute after taking the lead. Mateo Retegui defeated AC Milan goalkeeper Marco Sportiello after converting a penalty with a right-footed shot to the top left corner. The penalty was conceded by Fikayo Tomori after a foul in the penalty area on Alessandro Vogliacco.

AC Milan equalized in the 45th minute before ending the first half. Alessandro Florenzi defeated Genoa goalkeeper Josep Martínez from very close range with a headed shot to the bottom right corner. The assist is by Samuel Chukwueze.

Genoa took back the lead in the 48th minute. Caleb Ekuban scored with a headed shot to the top right corner. The assist is by Alessandro Vogliacco.

Milan equalized again in the 72nd minute. Matteo Gabbia scored with a headed shot to the bottom right corner. The assist is by Alessandro Florenzi with a cross following a corner conceded by Alessandro Vogliacco.

The Rossoneri fans jumping to celebrate the comeback. In the 75th minute, Milan took the lead thanks to the goal by French forward Olivier Giroud with a left-footed shot to the center. The assist is by Christian Pulisic.

What an upset! In the 87th minute, there is an own goal by Malick Thiaw resulting in the equalizer for Genoa.

Stats before the game: Genoa have not found the net in their last three matches against Milan in Serie A and could equal their longest streak without scoring against the Devil in the competition: four games in a row, recorded in both the 1965-1974 and 2011-2013 periods. Considering all competitions, Milan have not won any of their last five matches (D2, L3) and under Stefano Pioli’s management they have only once recorded a longer streak without success: seven official matches between January and February 2023 (D2, L5). Milan have lost their last two home games in all competitions (vs Roma and Inter) and have not achieved three defeats in a row at home in the league and cups since the period between February and March 2014 (vs Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Parma), under the leadership of Clarence Seedorf. Genoa won in the last round of Serie A (3-0 vs Cagliari) and in this championship they have only achieved two successes in a row once (vs Salernitana and Lecce in January); to find two clean sheets in a row in the competition, however, you have to go back to the period between February and March 2022 (series of four).
