Key match details
The opening exchanges was stiffly contested, with Sergio Conceicao’s Verona edging the proceedings. Tijjani Reijnders' low, long-range strike was smartly parried by Lorenzo Montipo, setting the tone for a first half devoid of clear-cut opportunities.
As the half progressed, Gimenez's clinical finish beyond Montipo was disallowed by the linesman's flag, much to the frustration of the Rossoneri. On the stroke of halftime, Musah squandered a gilt-edged chance, blasting over from close range.
The second half commenced in a similar vein, with both sides struggling to create meaningful opportunities in the final third.
Rafael Leao’s introduction in the second half proved pivotal, as the winger's deflected effort narrowly missed the far post.
With time ticking away, Milan intensified their pursuit of a winner, and the breakthrough arrived when Leao expertly prodded the ball beyond Montipo, allowing Gimenez to head into the empty net.
This decisive goal proved the difference between the sides, as Milan withstood late pressure from Verona to secure a victory off the back of their defeat in the court against Feyenoord.
