AC Milan was heading for a annoying party sharing points at home against Hellas Verona on Saturday. The Rossoneri finally avoided the draw by winning in San Siro (1-0) thanks to a goal from their winter recruit, the Mexican Santiago Gimenez (75th).
A quarter of an hour from the end, the former Feyenoord player took advantage of a perfect service by Rafael Leao to put balloons at the bottom of the nets. This is the second goal in two matches in Serie A for Gimenez, a time coveted by Olympique de Marseille before the price requested by the Dutch club is too high.
Thanks to this success, AC Milan returns to a point in Fiorentina, 6th, and five points from 4th place, qualifying for the Champions League, for the moment occupied by Lazio.
