Leao takes Milan by the hand, Gimenez also scores against Empoli

Milan managed to catapult themselves into seventh place in Serie A, defeating Empoli 2-0 at Stadio Carlo Castellani. The victory came after a match that both teams finished with 10 men, with Empoli continuing their losing streak, with 9 matches without a win.

The match started with a good chance for Milan, when Yunus Musah troubled goalkeeper Devis Vásquez. Empoli also had chances to take a chance, and in the 30th minute, Lorenzo Colombo hit the post with an attempt to beat Mike Maignan.

After a quiet first half, Milan coach Sérgio Conceição made some changes to spice up the game, but it was Fikayo Tomori who was sent off for a foul on Colombo.

However, Empoli's numerical advantage was short-lived, as Luca Marianuçi received a red card after a VAR review for a tackle on Santiago Giménez.

Milan took advantage of this opportunity immediately, taking the lead with a header from Rafael Leão, who received a pass from Christian Pulisic. In the dying minutes of the match, Santiago Giménez scored to secure the victory with a left-footed shot.

This result moved Milan to 7th place, while Empoli continues to be in danger of relegation, as they are currently only one point above the relegation zone. (A2 Televizion)
