AC Milan continued their perfect start to the 2026/27 Serie A season with a 2-0 victory over Venezia at San Siro, handing Ruben Amorim his second consecutive league win as Rossoneri boss.
The victory also ended Milan’s four-match winless Serie A run at home, while newly promoted Venezia remained without a point after their opening two matches.
San Siro Pays Tribute to Franco Baresi
There was an emotional atmosphere at San Siro before kick-off as AC Milan paid tribute to legendary defender Franco Baresi.
Once the action began, Milan produced a disciplined defensive performance worthy of their iconic former number six. However, their attacking play initially lacked the clinical edge required to break down Venezia.
Samuel Chukwueze created one of the first major opportunities when he released Gonçalo Ramos behind the Venezia defense. With no offside flag forthcoming, Ramos looked destined to score, only for goalkeeper Filip Stanković to produce an excellent save.
Venezia responded through Akor Adams, who John Yeboah sent through, but the striker was forced wide before Mike Maignan comfortably dealt with his effort.
Venezia: Make Milan Work
The visitors grew increasingly confident as the first half progressed.
A dangerous Ridgeciano Haps delivery caused chaos inside the Milan penalty area before the ball eventually fell to Yeboah, whose attempt was stopped by a crucial Strahinja Pavlović block.
Milan soon regained control, with Ramos again testing Stanković from close range. The Venezia goalkeeper continued to frustrate the hosts, also denying Chukwueze following a promising attacking move.
Despite Milan creating the better chances, the teams went into half-time level at 0-0.
Ramos Finally Breaks Venezia Resistance
Venezia continued to threaten after the restart, with Antoine Hainaut firing across goal.
Milan then came agonizingly close to taking the lead when Yunus Musah struck the crossbar from four yards following a Luka Modrić free-kick.
With the match entering its final quarter, Venezia created another opportunity through Adams, but Mario Gila produced an important block.
That intervention proved decisive.
Just two minutes later, Milan finally found their breakthrough. Alexis Saelemaekers escaped down the left before cutting inside and producing a perfectly weighted pass for Ramos.
The striker made no mistake this time, drilling a low finish into the bottom corner to give the Rossoneri the lead.
Own Goal Seals Milan’s 2-0 Victory
Ramos’ opener transformed the contest.
With the pressure lifted, Amorim’s men controlled possession and dictated the tempo during the closing stages as Venezia struggled to find a response.
Milan eventually doubled their advantage after Ardon Jashari raced behind the defense. Stanković initially saved his effort, but the ball rebounded off the recovering Redouane Halhal and crossed the line for an own goal.
The second goal effectively ended Venezia’s hopes of a comeback and secured a comfortable 2-0 Serie A victory for AC Milan.
Ruben Amorim Makes It Two Wins From Two
The result represents another encouraging step for Ruben Amorim in his early days at AC Milan.
After beginning the Serie A campaign with a 2-1 victory over Torino, Milan have now collected six points from their opening two league matches.
More importantly, the Rossoneri finally ended their frustrating four-game winless Serie A run at San Siro.
Their dominance over Venezia also continues, with Milan now winning this head-to-head fixture by at least two goals for the sixth consecutive meeting.
For Venezia, the statistics are far less encouraging. The promoted club remains without a point this season and has now gone 27 consecutive Serie A away matches without a victory.
What the Result Means for AC Milan
Two matches, two victories and growing confidence under Amorim.
Milan may not have produced their most spectacular attacking performance, but their ability to remain patient before eventually breaking down Venezia could prove important as the season develops.
Ramos’ goal is another positive for the Rossoneri attack, while a clean sheet at San Siro provides Amorim with further encouragement about the balance of his new-look side.
For Kenyan Serie A fans, Milan’s strong opening to the 2026/27 Italian football season makes the Rossoneri one of the teams worth watching closely as the early title picture develops.
