Gold candidates Inter and Juventus lost points earlier this weekend when they crossed against Atalanta and Lazio, respectively.
Therefore, Milan had a golden opportunity to extend the lead in Serie A. But to do so, they needed to defeat Grecia Verona at San Siro.
And it started bad, really bad.
The visiting team took an early lead when Antonin Barak made it 1-0.
Ten minutes later it was time again.
“Do everything right”
After a brief fight with the defender, Mattia Zaccagni finally got the ball home. The 25-year-old fired a controlled shot through Davide Calabria and into goal.
Milan forced a reduction but did not get it and the first 45 finished at a disadvantage.
– Verona maintains its positions and fatigue Milan. They make them lose their balance. Verona does everything right and waits for the right balls and then counters them all, says old Djurgården player Astrit Ajdarevic in C More’s studio.
In the second half, Stefano Pioli took Ante Rebic. The Croatian has been injured this season, but even with him on the pitch, the home team never had great scoring chances.
Until minute 64 of the game.
Because then “El Rossoneri” was sanctioned.
“Refuses to lose”
Of course, Zlatan Ibrahimovic stepped forward but made a serious mistake. The striker sent the ball well over the goal. The missed penalty was his third this season, as he previously burned one against Sparta Prague in the Europa League and another against Inter in the derby (sets the return).
– It’s heavy for Zlatan and heavy for Milan, says expert Vicky Blommé.
Milan closed the game and in the 93rd minute (!) Of the match, “Ibra” nodded at 2-2. It is the first time in Zlatan’s career that he has scored in seven straight league games.
– We can say that Milan refuse to lose football matches, says commentator Christoffer Svanemar.
