After Wednesday's defeat against Atalanta for the replay of the 12th Round, Milan see their hope to reach the third position disappearing in the horizon. Challenge for Milan is to win this match, period.
Milan the almighty in the international arena, it just a "mouse going around and around" escaping from the cat in the Serie A. So, the day has come for Milan either start gaining lost points or start going down the Serie A Standings. What will it be?
Here we go, Referee Rocchi whistles the start of the match! Come on guys!
It is the encounter of of two former teammates! In the 5th minute, Genoa Fabiano stops "Musica and Makaga KAKA and previously cleared a ball from Kakha Kaladze.
In the 6th minute, midfielder Andrea Pirlo shoots a free kick from the edge of the area to find forward Alessandro Nesta heading the ball just wide! Wow, almost a goal for Milan!
In the 9th minute, Milan's architect Andrea Pirlo hits a free kick from the edge of the area but the ball hits the wall! Gee, the balls rebound and Clarence Seedorf shoots only to see the ball deflected for a corner! Oh my God! Another wasted chance to score! Come on Milan!
In the 10th minute, the great Alessandro Nesta clears Genoa chance to score when Sculli tries to penetrate in the area. Great Nesta! Well done!
Guys, this is madness! Milan is having chances to score but nothing is clear!
In the 13th minute, Massimo Ambrosini sends a cross to PATO and oh nooooo, PATO could not control the ball! This is too much! Come on, it's a rollercoaster!
In the 15th minute, Referee Rocchi gives a yellow card to CESARE BOVO for a foul on Kaka!
Oh boy, danger guys! Genoa is gaining confidence. In the 18th minute, Milan goalkeeper Zeljko Kalac makes a great move blocking Milanetto's shot!
Oh my goodnes! I am going to faint! In the 20th minute, PATO missed another chance to score when midfielder Andrea Pirlo sends him a cross and Genoa defense intercept the ball from Pato.
Hey, I am not liking what I am seeing. Milan suddenly losing dominance and Genoa believing in the dream of beating the rossoneri in San Siro!
In the 25th minute, again, a great save from Milan goalkeeper Zeljko Kalac. Kalac saved and denied Sculli the chance to score after a cross from Rossi. Good KALAC! No doubt Kalac is doing a superb job!
Now, it is the encounter of former Milan player BORRIELLO with the great Alessandro Nesta. In the 27th minute, Nesta anticipates Borriello and clears a cross from teh right by Rossi! Yes, what a match from NESTA! He is doing superb! FORZA NESTA!!!!
Wow, FORZA KALAC!!!!! Another great save from goalkeeper Kalac! In the 29th minute, Rossi shots from inside the area but there he was, KALAC!!! Saving again for Milan! You go Kalac!
No, that's it guys! Get me some Tylenol. It is unbelievable! In the 30th minute, PATO misses another chance to score! The Musica and Magia Boy KAKA sends a right footed cross deflected by Genoa Konko. The ball rebound but PATO failed!!!!!
Can you believe it! First half ends with no goals!!!! Milan fans are just desperate in San Siro! Hope Ancelotti changes the strategy in the second half!
In the 64th minute, Genoa Coach Gasperini substitutes Giuseppe Sculli for Alessandro Lucarelli.
In the 67th minute, another chance for Milan! Massimo Ambrosini tries a header but the ball goes high!!!!
Milan is creating opportunities to score but not reaching the target. Less than 30 minutes and match is over.
Oh what a day!!!!! Finally!!!!
In the 69th minute, PATO, the one who failed twice in the first half, just scored!!!!!! Paolo Maldini sends a cross from the left, Clarence Seedorf heads the ball but it stays in the area when PATO ready to redeem himself gets the chance to head the ball and it is GOALLLLL!!!!!
AC MILAN 1 - 0 GENOA.
Guys, you won't believe what is happening. Incredible. In the 70th minute, Referee Rocchi gives a RED CARD to Genoa Goalkeeper RUBHINO. Unbelievable, Rubinho during Pato's counterattack comes outside the area, touched the ball with his hand trying to stop PATO. It is a well deserved RED CARD! Genoa reamain with 10 men. Certainly, this is not a a good "Happy Birthday for Genoa Coach Gasperini." Gasperini turns 50 years younger today!
In the 82nd minute, again, it is PATO's TIME!!!! Genoa goalkeeper Scarpi stops Pato's lob but the ball rebound and PATO without losing concentration shots the ball blasting SCARPI and sending to heaven all SAN SIRO fans!!!!
AC MILAN 2 - 0 GENOA.
Now, I am happy, hip hip hurrah!!! Finally, MILAN is ahead! Just hope they don't lose concentration in these last 8 minutes like they did in the Champions League against Liverpool with those "6 minutes of madness." Come on Milan!!!
In the 83rd minute, Milan Coach Carlo Ancelotti substitutes Andrea Pirlo for Emerson. Well done PIRLO!!!!
In the 88th minute, Milan Coach Carlo Ancelotti substitutes Gennaro Gattuso for Cristian Brocchi.
In the 89th minute, Milan Coach Carlo Ancelotti substitutes PATO for Alberto Gilardino. Pato leaves the field with a standing ovation from Milan fans in San Siro! Well done PATO! Thanks!!!!!
Referee Rocchi indicates 3 minutes stoppage time.
In the 92nd minute, Alberto Gilardino gets a yellow card! But it's ok, We are winning guys. Cheer up!
It's over guys!!!!!! Referee Gianluca Rocchi indicates the end of the match! It's party time for Milan fans!
Time to celebrate! Sorry for Genoa Coach Gasperini because it will be a bad birthday, but a happy day for Milan.
Milan no longer seems a "mouse going around and around" escaping from the cat, but finally winning!!!! What do you think?

Milan99, Pato must be in heaven. Just a wonderful beginning with Milan. Let's hope he keeps scoring and making assist. Same for GILARDINOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Reply to this
Yes Anna agree with you on Pato but Gilardino?nah he ain't showing an improving
Reply to this
This time Gilardino proved you wrong girl. Pato played bad in Reggina and Gilardino scored the only goal. What's your take?
Reply to this
Yes He did but Pietro I'm not against him at all but I wanted him to wake up forever not only for a game.
