AC Milan<\/strong> continued their dominance over Venezia<\/strong> with a solid 2-0 win at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo<\/strong>, marking their fifth consecutive victory in the head-to-head series. The Rossoneri\u2019s dreams of securing a top-six finish in Serie A<\/strong> are still alive, while Venezia\u2019s survival hopes hang by a thread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s dive into this thrilling encounter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early Breakthrough Silences Venezia\u2019s Fire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Venezia came into the match fired up, looking to shock the giants early. However, it was Milan who struck first. Just four minutes in, Youssouf Fofana<\/strong> won the ball high up the pitch and sliced open the defence with a beautiful pass. Christian Pulisic<\/strong> showed his class, slotting the ball past the helpless Ionu\u021b Radu<\/strong> to give Milan the early lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal shifted the tempo, but Venezia refused to back down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venezia\u2019s VAR Heartbreak and First-Half Pressure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The hosts piled on the pressure after conceding. Alessio Zerbin<\/strong> missed a golden chance to level the scores, firing wide from inside the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their persistence almost paid off when John Yeboah<\/strong> thought he had equalized after a brilliant one-touch move. But after a lengthy VAR review, heartbreak followed \u2014 the goal was ruled out for offside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milan clung to their narrow lead, with Mike Maignan<\/strong> making a crucial save from a dangerous Hans Nicolussi Caviglia<\/strong> free-kick just before halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milan Seals the Deal Late On<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The second half started with an excellent chance for Milan. Rafael Le\u00e3o<\/strong>, finding space in a crowded box, blasted his shot over the bar when he should have doubled the lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sensing an opportunity, Venezia coach Eusebio Di Francesco<\/strong> made four changes, trying to inject life into his team. But throwing players forward left gaps at the back, and Milan took full advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In stoppage time, substitute Santiago Gim\u00e9nez<\/strong> broke free and lifted a sublime lob over Radu, wrapping up the win and breaking Venezia\u2019s hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
