Two Genoa errors open the door
Milan took control at the Luigi Ferraris stadium, known as Marassi, on Sunday, 8 November, in the 11th round of Serie A. The first goal came in the 13th minute, when Genoa lost possession and Rabiot found Cisse unmarked in the area. The former Catanzaro forward struck it past Bijlow for his fifth league goal of the season. Six minutes later, Traoré misjudged a clearance under pressure, sending the ball too long and too hard for Ostigard. Ramos collected it and set Pulisic free, and the American finished from close range to make it 2-0.
Genoa's reply and a disallowed goal
After falling two goals behind, Genoa, coached by Daniele De Rossi, pushed forward and created more chances in the first half. Osmajic headed in what looked like a goal in the first half, but the assistant referee raised his flag and the VAR check, which lasted several seconds, confirmed the offside decision. According to Adnkronos, replays showed Osmajic with half a foot beyond the last Milan defender. Milan's bench protested and asked for a red card after a foul on Rabiot, but referee Massa only booked Marcandalli. The Milan club doctor Mazzoni and two members of the technical staff were then sent off for their protests.
Late goal and the table
Ellertsson pulled one back in the 88th minute with a strike from about 25 metres after a touch from Baldanzi, leaving Maignan unable to reach it. Genoa pressed for the final minutes, but Milan held on to the 2-1 lead until the final whistle. Milan now have 24 points, which moves them into fourth place for the time being and five points behind Lazio at the top. Genoa remain 13th on 13 points and end a run of three consecutive league wins. The result followed a derby win over Inter and a Europa League defeat to Ferencvaros days earlier, which Milan were keen to put behind them.
What comes next
The league pauses for the international break before Milan return on 22 November, when they host Frosinone at the Meazza. AGI reports that Genoa will travel to Sassuolo and play at the Mapei Stadium after the break. Ruben Amorim's side have been without Frendrup, who picked up a knock against Lecce that De Rossi said was still affecting him. Milan's immediate priority is to build on the result and keep pace with the teams above them in the table.
