AC Milan Clinches Narrow Victory with Late Gimenez Strike

In a tense encounter at the San Siro, AC Milan managed to secure a 1-0 win over Hellas Verona, thanks to a decisive header from Santiago Gimenez in the 75th minute. The goal, born from a well-directed pass by Rafael Leao, provided a much-needed boost to a team that had grown visibly frustrated with their inability to convert early chances.

Milan had dominated possession and generally controlled the tempo of the game in the first half, but their efforts were met with setbacks, including a significant moment when a promising goal by Gimenez was disallowed for offside. The second half witnessed a more measured tempo until the late breakthrough raised the mood among players and supporters alike, as the win now sees Milan in seventh place and still in the running for a Champions League qualifying spot. Meanwhile, Verona languishes in 15th spot, reflecting the uphill battle they face in this Serie A season.
