A match full of twists and turns for AC Milan at the end of this 19th day of Serie A. The Rossoneri necessarily needed a victory when they hosted Genoa so as not to let Inter slip away at the top of the championship. Unfortunately for them, the evening got off to a bad start with Colombo opening the score (28th). For a long time, the Milanese chased the score and thought they had the equalizer thanks to Pulisic, before the VAR canceled the American’s goal.

The light finally came from Leão in added time (90th + 2), ushering in the final minutes of pure madness. In the process, AC Milan thought of obtaining a penalty (90th+3), finally refused by the VAR, before obtaining a huge situation through Füllkrug (90th+5). A few seconds later in the other penalty area, Mikael Egill Ellertsson collapsed after contact with Bartesaghi and obtained a penalty, validated this time by the VAR. After long minutes of contestation on both sides, Nicolae Stanciu sent his attempt into the stands to let a great victory slip away at San Siro. Il Diavolo will be satisfied with this somewhat miraculous 1-1 draw but are now three points behind their nerazzurro neighbor.
