Suicidal Milan, humiliated in Monza! The team from Pioli paid for their frivolity and the stupidity of Jovic who was sent off in the 53rd minute for a hit on an opponent and although they equalized with ten players at their expense 2-0, they knelt in stoppage time with a score of 4-2.
Heartbreaking, the “Rossoneri” stayed -6 behind the second Juventus and gave Monza the right to fight until the last moment for Europe.
Fifth defeat for the Milanese in this year’s championship, which data also lost their last hopes for a championship. Historic result for Raffaele Palladino’s team, which for the first time in its history scored four goals in a Serie A match.
In the competitive part, Milan never appeared in the first 45 minutes, giving the ball to Monza, which took the lead in the 44th minute with a well-timed penalty shot by Pessina. In fact, the home team scored a second goal shortly before halftime, with Mota beating Menian.
Shortly after the start of the second half, Milan’s task became more difficult after Jovic elbowed Itzo and was sent off.
Despite this, Milan made a reaction and in the 64th minute they reduced it to 2-1 with Giroud. Pioli took his team higher and was vindicated after Pulisic tied the score at 2-2 with a fantastic goal in the 88th minute.
However, everything Milan had built up was shattered after two minutes when Bodeau’s fantastic volley put Monza back in front, with ex-Rossonero Lorenzo Colombo heading in Menian on the counter-attack for the final 4 -2.
