"Milan could have won just as easily as they could have lost; both teams deserved something, and arguably, both deserved more. Former Rossonero Lorenzo Colombo gave Genoa the lead, but a late header from Rafael Leao meant the Diavolo extended their unbeaten streak to 17 Serie A games. A late penalty from Stanciu could have changed things, but he skied his chance to win the game."
"This situation highlighted the lack of a top defender in the squad, once again. Whilst Gabbia has been the most reliable and solid defender, he still has room to grow and is not up there with the best defenders in world football. Sadly, against the bottom sides, the Rossoneri fall asleep defensively consistently, but they also struggle to score. That was the case again, even though the Rossoneri had over 30 shots throughout the game."
AC Milan were held 1-1 by Genoa at San Siro, with former Milan striker Lorenzo Colombo giving Genoa the lead and Rafael Leao scoring a late header to level. Stanciu missed a late penalty that could have won the game for Genoa, and the draw extended Milan's Serie A unbeaten run to 17 matches. The match highlighted recurring problems against bottom-half teams: lapses in concentration produced an avoidable goal and the team struggled to break down low blocks despite over 30 shots. Matteo Gabbia's loss of focus exposed the absence of a top-class centre-back, and Niclas Fullkrug showed positive impact but could not resolve consistency issues.
