This Saturday, AC Milan needed an imperative victory against Empoli to put themselves back in the race for European places in Serie A. A meeting that the Milanese knew how to manage perfectly against a poorly ranked side in the transalpine championship. Already dangerous five minutes before, Alvaro Morata opened the scoring in the 19th minute with a beautiful half-volley (1-0). After several other opportunities, it was finally Tijjani Reijnders who doubled the lead just before the break (2-0, 44th).
Upon returning from the locker room, Empoli’s affairs did not improve and the Dutch midfielder from AC Milan scored the double. In great form since the start of the season, the former AZ Alkmaar player deceived Devis Vasquez with a nice right-footed shot (3-0, 69th). With this well-built success, the Rossoneri remain seventh but are getting closer to Juventus Turin and the leading group. For its part, Empoli remains tenth.
