Milan Secure 1-2 Win Over Genoa in Serie A Clash

Serie A Round 11 brought Milan to the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris in Genova on 8 November 2026, where a partly cloudy afternoon at 14°C set the stage for Genoa's meeting with Milan under referee Davide Massa. Milan entered as the pre-match favourites at odds of 2.14 and wasted little time justifying that status, striking twice inside the opening 19 minutes through Alphadjo Cissè and Christian Pulisic to establish a commanding 0-2 lead. Genoa, deploying a 3-4-2-1 under Daniele De Rossi, struggled to break down Milan's 3-4-3 shape for much of the contest, though Mikael Egill Ellertsson's late header from Tommaso Baldanzi's assist in the 88th minute set up a tense finish. Milan, with Adrien Rabiot controlling midfield and Pulisic named Player of the Match with a rating of 8.4, held firm through five minutes of stoppage time to claim all three points.
