Full squad list and line-up information available online
WEB Milan extended their hold on second place in the Italian Serie A standings on Saturday, grinding out a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Hellas Verona. The result strengthens their position in the race for Champions League qualification, maintaining a five-point advantage over third-placed Inter Milan.
The match started brightly for Milan, with Rafael Leao scoring the opening goal in the 28th minute. Verona fought back and equalized just before halftime through Marco Faraoni's header. However, the home side regained the lead early in the second half, with Olivier Giroud converting a penalty to secure three crucial points.
The win was Milan's fourth in five league games and keeps them firmly in contention for a top-four finish. They now turn their attention to the second leg of their Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid on Wednesday, where they will look to overturn a 2-1 deficit from the first leg.
