With Inter having won earlier at Spezia, Milan had to wait until 88' so as to seal the victory vs Genoa at home. Basically hanging on to Leao's early lead (11'), against a team desperately fighting for its survival, in what turned out to be another really stressful experience (2 - 0 final score). At least this time they did not drop points, I am sure Pioli will be happy to take that result...
The usual setup in midfield from Pioli, with Tonali - Benacer - Kessie aiming to establish as much control as possible, creating very little upfront though. Yet Milan's energy levels remain the worrying theme -basically the story of the season at a global scale. Pioli had to use all 5 subs, with 2/3 of his forwards leaving the pitch after an hour...
Balances at the top of the Serie A table remain extremely delicate. Good luck to Spaleti's men against the ****'s team...
