Outstanding performance
Hellas Verona•DefenderAC Milan secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Hellas Verona thanks to Adrien Rabiot's first-half strike. Despite controlling just 53% of possession, Milan proved clinical when it mattered, converting one of their three shots on target while Verona squandered their opportunities with 13 shots but only two on target. The Rossoneri's defensive discipline was evident as they committed just six fouls compared to Verona's 13, while the hosts' frustration grew with multiple substitutions in the second half failing to produce an equalizer. This crucial away win keeps Milan's Serie A campaign on track against a Verona side that will rue their wastefulness in front of goal.
