Milan Frosinone 3-2: the Rossoneri don’t give up
Pioli’s Milan came to the Stirpe with the desire to confirm their good momentum and put pressure on Juve and Inter, who committed tomorrow. Di Francesco’s Frosinone, on the other hand, are looking to make a surprise move away from the relegation zone. The match is lively and full of chances on both sides.
In the 17th minute, Milan took the lead with a header from Giroud, who made the most of a cross from Leao on the left. A few minutes later, however, the Portuguese conceded a penalty to the Ciociari with an arm touch and Soulé made no mistake from the penalty spot (24 minutes).
In the 65th minute, Frosinone’s overtake signed by Mazzitelli, with Maignan’s complicity. In the 72nd minute, Gabbia’s diving header made it 2-2, then Jovic, who had entered a few seconds earlier, struck Turati after a replay with Valeri.
Milan resisted the last assaults of the ciociari and brought home three precious points, which brought them to -4 from Juve and -5 from Inter, waiting for their matches. Milan proved once again to be a solid and determined team, capable of reacting to difficulties and fighting until the end. Frosinone, on the other hand, must regret having wasted a great opportunity to score points.
Udinese-Monza 0-0
Sottil’s Udinese hosts Palladino’s Monza shares the points at stake despite the one-way game, with Udinese able to create numerous chances foiled by the Brianza goalkeeper, in at least five decisive interventions.
Monza and Udinese have to be content with one point, which brings the Lombardi to 29 points, and the Friulians to 19.
Empoli v Genoa 0-0: The Tuscans don’t take off in serie A
Nicola’s Empoli take on Gilardino’s Genoa in the hope of winning three points and getting out of the relegation zone.
Genoa, on the other hand, are aiming to confirm their good moment and move up in the standings. The match is balanced and does not give great emotions. Empoli have more possession, but they can’t break through Genoa’s defence, which closes well and restarts with order. Genoa, for their part, don’t create clear chances and limit themselves to managing the result.
The white-net draw is the right epilogue of an unspectacular match. Empoli remains penultimate with 18 points, tied with Cagliari and Verona, but with one match more. Genoa rose to 29 points and moved up to +11 from the danger zone.
