Milan beats Genoa 2-1, narrows Champions League gap

AC Milan kept their slim hopes of qualifying for next year’s Champions League alive with a 2-1 comeback victory over Genoa. Genoa took the lead in the 61st minute through substitute Vitinha, but Milan responded with a deflected equalizer from Rafael Leão in the 76th minute and an own goal by Genoa captain Morten Frendrup two minutes later. Despite remaining in ninth place, Milan closed the gap on the top four to six points with three matches left in the Serie A season. Genoa, meanwhile, suffered their third consecutive loss and sit in 13th place. Milan's final fixtures are against Bologna, Roma, and Monza, leaving their Champions League hopes mathematically possible but challenging.
