Genoa tied 3-3 with Milan at the San Siro Stadium with a goal from Mateo Retegui, from a penalty, on matchday 35 of Serie A. Stefano Pioli’s team overcame two disadvantages, achieved the comeback and finally delivered a draw frustrating, without a single victory in their previous five games, with three defeats and elimination from the Europa League.

Still in second place, with the Champions League still not secured, although it seems a mere matter of time, the way in which Milan spoiled their reaction to 1-2 against returned them to the insistent disappointment of recent weeks, with a 3-3 by Malick Thiaw on his own goal, after a clearance by Fikayo Tomori and in the presence of Retegui. Unexpected.

In the 5th minute, the local team already lost the game. After three minutes, Tomori committed a penalty on Alessandro Vogliacco. The ex-Boca’s shot, with determination and power, was impossible for goalkeeper Marco Sportiello.

Moment by moment, with difficulties, Milan insisted on a tie. Christian Pulisic tried from afar, frustrated by a magnificent stretch by the Spanish Josef Martínez, who flew to maintain the 0-1. He also later cleared Theo Hernández’s shot. He no longer caught Alessandro Florenzi’s header, very alone and accurate, on the edge of half-time to make it 1-1.

It wasn’t enough for Milan yet. The beginning of the second half complicated it again. The local team had a demerit in its defense, but Genoa also had merit in its action, culminated with a splendid header from Caleb Ekuban that, three minutes after 1-1, once again forced Pioli’s team to face another disadvantage. To come back.

Again, it cost him. Samuel Chukwueze rushed into offside in the goal that was finally disallowed moments later; Theo Hernández crashed his shot into the goalkeeper’s hands when he had many better options on a counterattack; The public was getting impatient in the stands; Olivier Giroud made probably the worst shot of his career in front of the goalkeeper, when the easiest thing was to score… his shot didn’t even need to be stopped by the goalkeeper.

And then Matteo Gabbia appeared to connect his cross header against the Genoa net. In the 72nd minute, the chased 2-2 by Milan, which did not stop there: just two minutes later, already in the 74th minute, Giroud amended his previous mistake with a precise volley inside the area after a perfect center from Pulisic to complete the comeback. , suddenly leveled by their rival, in the 88th minute, with a cross from Morten Thorsby, a commotion and an own goal.
