MILAN: A wasteful AC Milan breathed a sigh of relief as they secured a narrow 1-0 Serie A win at home against Hellas Verona, courtesy of a late Santiago Gimenez goal. The gloom that had set in at the San Siro lifted in the 75th minute when Gimenez headed home after a ball into the box was cleverly directed into his path by Rafael Leao.
The result put Milan in seventh place with 41 points, five behind Lazio in fourth, the last qualifying spot for next season’s Champions League. Verona are 15th. Milan dominated possession and created chances in the first half, but could not open the scoring against a defensive Verona, leading to growing frustration among both supporters and players. Agencies
