AC Milan snatches comeback win to keep Europe dream alive
AC Milan scored twice in as many minutes as they came from behind to defeat Genoa 2-1 in Serie A.
Rafael Leao grabbed an equaliser in the 76th minute before an own goal from Morten Frendrup sealed the comeback.
Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan was the standout performer in a first half largely dominated by Genoa, making several crucial saves to keep his side level at the break.
The second half started in a largely uninspired fashion, with a relentless downpour proving more consistent than the football, as play was frequently halted for injury treatments.
Vitinha, introduced only a minute earlier, made an instant impact just after the hour, drifting into space inside the box and smashing home a perfectly delivered cross with his first touch to put Genoa in front.
Yet Leao's deflected effort swiftly restored parity, and Frendrup's misfortune ultimately handed Milan all three points.
