The AC Milan vs Verona match
Verona surprised the home defense at the beginning of the first half. The game only takes six minutes, the AC Milan goal that was escorted by Gianluigi Donnarumma was violated by Antonin Barak.
Through a corner kick scheme, Barak managed to launch a wild ball from Federico Ceccherini’s header that hit the crossbar. Verona leads Milan 1-0.
In the 12th minute, the combination of Rafael Leao and Hakan Calhanoglu managed to open space in the Verona penalty area. However, the flat bait released by Calhanoglu was not welcomed.
Absorbed in the attack, AC Milan were once again surprised by the goal from Verona. Taking advantage of the dead ball situation, I Gialloblu burst into the host’s goal for the second time.
Mattia Zaccagni’s volley from the end of the penalty area hit Davide Calabria’s leg and tricked Donnarumma. Verona visit Milan 2-0.
AC Milan’s pressure just paid off in the 27th minute. A pass from Alexis Saelemaekers was badly anticipated by Giangiacomo Magnani and found the net himself. Magnani’s own goal brought the Rossoneri to 1-2.

A few minutes later, Theo Hernández had a golden opportunity to even the score. However, Theo’s shot from close range was parried by Silvestri.
The 1-2 scoreline for Hellas Verona’s superiority over host AC Milan lasted until half time.
Going into the second half, Stefano Pioli brought in Ante Rebic to increase the power of the Rossoneri. On the other hand, Verona still relies on quick counterattacks from both sides of the wing, which proved to be a nuisance on Milan’s bottom line.
In the 51st minute, Hakan Calhanoglu managed to break Verona’s goal. However, referee Marco Guida annulled the goal because Calhanoglu was evaluated first offside.
Milan continued to push for the tie, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic and others seemed to have a difficult time breaking through the Verona defense that was lifted by Matteo Lovato.
Theo Hernández again had a golden opportunity to score a goal in the 63rd minute. Unfortunately, Theo’s shot, who was already in a heads up with the Verona goalkeeper, missed.

Two minutes later, it was Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s turn who had a chance to score after the referee signaled the point. However, Ibrahimovic’s penalty shot over Verona’s goal. Rossoneri continues with 1-2 from the visitors.
Milan increasingly aggressively attacked the opponent’s goal for the remainder of the second half. However, the brilliant performances of Verona’s defense and goalkeeper Marco Silvestri could thwart the opportunities created by Ibrahimovic et al.
Davide Calabria was able to find the net for Verona at the end of the second half, to be precise in the 90th minute. However, the goal was disallowed after the referee saw the VAR broadcast. Before Calabria scored, Zlatan Ibrahimovic was tried handball.
Milan finally survived the defeat after Ibrahimovic scored a goal in time extra time. Receiving comments from Brahim Díaz’s team, a header from Ibra successfully broke Verona’s goal. The AC Milan vs Hellas Verona match ended with the equally strong score 2-2.
