American midfielder Christian Pulisic scored the only goal in the 87th minute. At the end of the meeting, the goalkeepers of both teams were sent off the field. In the ninth minute of stoppage time, Milan’s French goalkeeper Mike Maignan received a straight red card. Due to the lack of replacements, his compatriot striker Olivier Giroud had to take the lead.
Four minutes later, Genoa’s Spanish goalkeeper Josep Martinez received a second yellow card. For this reason, Italian goalkeeper Nicola Leali entered the field, replacing Belgian midfielder Kony De Winter.
Milan topped the Italian Championship standings with 21 points and extended their winning streak in the tournament to four matches. The team was able to become the leader of the national championship after Inter misfired, which in another match of the day played a draw with Bologna at home (2:2). In the first 13 minutes of the game, the hosts were able to score twice, but then squandered the lead. Inter is second with 19 points, while Genoa is in 15th place (8 points).
In the next round, Milan will host Juventus, which rounds out the top three. Genoa will meet on the road with Atalanta, for which Russian midfielder Alexey Miranchuk plays. Both meetings will take place on October 22.
