AC Milan, knocked out by La Spezia in a crazy end to the match (1-2), missed the opportunity to temporarily take the lead in Serie A and saw Naples (3rd), winner in Bologna ( 2-0), Monday during the 22nd day.

Milan, who lost on a final once morest poorly ranked Ligurian (16th) in the 6th minute of added time, remains two points behind the leader, Inter Milan, and also has only two left on Napoli .

Rafael Leao, the most active in the first period, nevertheless allowed the Milanese to take the lead at the break thanks to a clever lob (45 + 1st), making people forget the penalty shot a few seconds earlier by Théo Hernandez (45th) .

But the Lombards then fell asleep, punished by Kevin Agudelo (64th), who equalized a few moments following coming into play.

Cruel extra time

Stefano Pioli started Olivier Giroud alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic for the final seat. But without success.

In added time, the referee first deprived the Milanese of a goal from Junior Messias by forgetting to give them the advantage on a foul, then the post saved La Spezia. But the most cruel was to come for the Rossoneri: on the last counter of the match, Emmanuel Gyasi sprang to knock out Mike Maignan and San Siro (90 + 6th)!

Funny stoppage for Milan before receiving Juventus (5th) next Sunday then Inter Milan, at the beginning of February.

Osimhen’s return to Naples

Naples took the opportunity to get closer to just two points, following a controlled victory in Bologna, thanks to a double from Mexican winger Hirving Lozano (20th, 47th).

Other good news for Napoli: the return to the field of Victor Osimhen, entered for the last twenty minutes with his protective mask, a little less than two months following the shock which had earned him several fractures in the face.

Hefti and Genoa sink

Holder on the right side of the defense of Genoa, Silvan Hefti experienced from the inside the sinking of his team on the ground of Fiorentina. The Florentines won 6-0 and took sixth place in the standings.

After missing a penalty in the 11th (Vlahovic), Fiorentina opened the scoring thanks to Odriozola (15th). In the 34th, Bonaventura doubled the bet and Biraghi, in the 42nd, gave the score a worrying pace for Genoa.

A concern which was verified in the second half, since Vlahovic (51st), Biraghi (69th) and Torreira (77th) carried the score in the category of “slaps”. A slap that pushes even more Hefti and his teammates, penultimate in the standings with a point ahead (12) over Salernitana, red lantern, but two more matches!
