Match report: Genoa 1 - Milan 0

Due to concerns about possible fan violence, today's match between Genoa and Milan was played in front of an empty stadium. Genoa won 1-0. I believe, however, that Milan have officially clinched third place in the Serie A because of today's 1-1 tie between Palermo and Sampdoria.

Match report: Milan 5 - Genoa 2

  • Goals scored: Sculli 25', Ronaldinho (penalty) 32', Thiago Silva 38', Borriello 48', Borriello 60', Huntelaar (penalty) 74', Suazo 79'
  • What happened: Genoa scored first and last but still lost badly. Milan had three penalties-- Ronaldinho missed the first one, made the second, and Huntelaar made the last.
  • Milan players who made their first appearances in a long time: Gattuso, Jankulovski, Beckham
  • Milan players who were hit in the face: Nesta, Antonini, Ronaldinho
  • Number of Milan penalties that were not deserved: Zero
  • Why Huntelaar took the last penalty: Beckham and Ronaldinho were insisting that each other take it-- Ambrosini stepped in and gave the ball to Huntelaar. (At least that's how it looked to me). It is widely rumored that Huntelaar will be leaving Milan this month.
  • Player of the game: Ambrosini-- he repeatedly charged the defenders in the box with the ball. He won the first two of Milan's penalty kicks.
  • Nicest goal: Borriello's second-- a twisting bicycle kick that just snuck in at the post. (Replays showed that he was barely offside; however, the linesman missed the call.)
  • My favorite goal: Thiago Silva's-- chaos in the box followed by a goal by a defender
  • Who Milan play next: Juventus
  • Milan players the announcer said were unable to play due to injury: Pato and Seedorf
  • What this match teaches us: Take the ball and head toward the goal.
