On the occasion of the 36th day of Serie A in Italy, Milan traveled to the Marcantonio-Bentegodi with the only objective to challenge the Venetians to recover the throne of leader, taken Friday by its enemy brother (Inter) after its large victory (4-2) against Empoli.
Very early in the game and in the first fifteen minutes, the young Italian international attacking midfielder under 21 years Sandro Tonalli had seen his goal refused by the Var in the 16th minute. Taking confidence in the game, the Venetians opened the score almost at the end of the first act in the 38th by Marco Davide Faraoni. But in the additional minutes, at 45+3, the visitors restored the balance (1-1) by Sandro Tonalli.
After the break, the Lombardy team, who wanted to regain the lead, didn’t take long to see the same Tonalli score a second goal in the 50th minute, his historic double of the night, which has a special character since he was celebrating his 22nd birthday.
At the end of the match, the former As Roma and PSG player, Alessandro Florenzi, added to the score (3-1), in the 87th minute. The Lombardy team won a valuable away match against Hellas Verona, 9th in the standings with 52 points.
Milan is now back on top with 80 points, with a 2-point lead over second-placed Inter Milan, who have 78 points with two games left in the Calcio.
