Milan Held 1-1 by Genoa as Video Shows Pavlovic Scuffing Spot Before Stoppage-Time Miss

The draw extends Milan's unbeaten run to 17 matches, leaving them three points behind Inter.

Overview

  • The San Siro match finished 1-1: Lorenzo Colombo scored on 28 minutes, Rafael Leao equalised in the 92nd, and Marius Stanciu sent a 99th-minute penalty over the bar.
  • Post-match footage shows Milan defender Strahinja Pavlovic repeatedly scuffing the penalty spot before Stanciu's kick, prompting debate over sportsmanship after Fikayo Tomori also celebrated in the taker's face.
  • Italian moviola analyses deemed the major decisions correct, including awarding Genoa's late penalty, denying an earlier Milan appeal, and disallowing a Pulisic goal for handball.
  • Massimiliano Allegri criticised Milan's impatience and said Leao was not at full fitness despite his late goal, while Daniele De Rossi took responsibility for naming Stanciu as the penalty taker.
  • Milan stay within three points of Inter in the title race, as Genoa leave with a point and regret following goalkeeper Leali's key saves and the missed spot kick.
