Genoa CFC vs AC Milan

AC Milan won 2-1 at Genoa on Sunday after scoring twice in the first 19 minutes and then spending most of the afternoon defending the lead. Alphadjo Cisse put Milan ahead in the 13th minute (one report has it at 12), set up by Adrien Rabiot. Six minutes later Christian Pulisic made it 2-0. Goncalo Ramos played him in after Alessandro Marcandalli gave the ball away. Genoa had hit the post through Lazar Osmajic in the opening minute, and they finished with 17 shots to Milan's 6, though only 38 per cent of the possession. Maignan kept out Vitinha in the 73rd minute, but Genoa found a way back in the 88th. Mikael Ellertsson scored from the rebound after Stephan El Shaarawy's free kick hit the wall. Three members of the Milan bench, the team doctor among them, were sent off earlier for protesting a foul on Rabiot. Milan move to 24 points from 11 games. Genoa stay on 13. Both play on 22 November, Genoa at Sassuolo and Milan at home to Frosinone.
