Mon May 05 23:10:00 UTC 2025: ## AC Milan Edges Out Genoa in Thrilling 2-Minute Turnaround
**Milan, Italy** – AC Milan secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Genoa, staging a dramatic comeback in the final stages of the match. The Rossoneri struggled for much of the game, conceding a goal due to a defensive lapse by Pavlovic, who left Vitinha unmarked. However, two goals in quick succession, sparked by substitutes João Félix and Gimenez, turned the tide. Félix’s through ball set up Gimenez for the equalizer, and his subsequent run forced an own goal, securing the win for Milan.
Mike Maignan was the standout performer, earning Man of the Match honors with several crucial saves, including a point-blank stop that prevented what looked like certain goal. While several players received average ratings, the late substitutions proved decisive.
The match was far from convincing for Milan, with criticism directed at several players including Hernandez, Pulisic and Jovic for inconsistent performances and missed opportunities. Post-match discussion centered heavily on coach Conceição’s tactical decisions and the team’s overall struggles in midfield. Some fans called for his dismissal citing the team’s inability to consistently control games against lower-table teams. However, others defended Conceição, pointing to the team’s recent improved defensive record under his management. The debate continues regarding player selection and tactical approaches as Milan sits in 9th place in the league table. Despite the victory, the performance raised concerns about the team’s form heading into crucial upcoming matches.
