AC Milan Rafael Leao struck in stoppage time to earn the Rossoneri a 1-1 draw against a stubborn Genoa side at San Siro to avoid a damaging home defeat on Serie A matchday 19.
The visitors landed the first blow midway through the first half when Lorenzo Colombo silenced the home crowd with a composed finish in the 28th minute.
From that moment on, Milan took control of proceedings, dictating the tempo, pinning Genoa back, and creating wave after wave of attacking pressure.
Despite enjoying overwhelming territorial dominance and carving out several clear chances, Massimiliano Allegri’s men found the Grifone’s defensive block hard to break.
As the clock ticked down, frustration grew, but Milan never stopped pushing. The introduction of fresh legs, including Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Niclas Fullkrug, injected renewed intensity into the Rossoneri’s play.
That persistence finally paid off deep into injury time when Leao rose highest to power home a crucial header, sparking celebrations around the stadium and rescuing a deserved point.
The late leveller ensured Milan extended their unbeaten league run and remained second in the Serie A standings with 39 points.
While the draw may feel disappointing given the volume of chances created, the performance highlighted Milan’s resilience, fighting spirit, and refusal to surrender.
With sharper finishing, Allegri’s men will be confident of turning such dominance into victories as they look to get back to winning ways in the coming fixtures.
