Gimenez's Goal Drives Milan Past Verona 1-0

AC Milan secured a narrow 1-0 victory against Hellas Verona, thanks to a late goal from Santiago Gimenez, who has quickly made an impact since joining the team. The Rossoneri struggled to break through Verona's defense for most of the match, creating little danger in the first half and experiencing frustration after a Gimenez goal was disallowed for offside. The breakthrough came in the 75th minute when Rafael Leao set up Gimenez for a close-range header. This win lifts Milan to seventh in the Serie A standings, five points behind Lazio in the race for a Champions League spot. Despite the result, their performance raised concerns about their ability to compete at a higher level, particularly following a disappointing showing against Feyenoord earlier in the week. The team's reliance on substitutes like Leao and Gimenez to change the game's dynamics highlights a need for improvement in the starting lineup's effectiveness.
