AC Milan defeats Venice: Pulisic shines in the 2-0 win!

At the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo in Venice on April 27, 2025, AC Milan celebrated an important victory in Serie A by defeating Venezia FC 2-0. This success brings Milan to ninth place in the table with 54 points, while Venezia remains in 19th place and therefore in a relegation zone.

The game started spectacularly for the guests from Milan: Christian Pulisic opened the scoring in the 5th minute after taking advantage of a mistake in Fali Cande's defense. This early lead gave Milan a boost while Venezia tried to recover.

Successful chances and offside decisions

In the 33rd minute, the hosts celebrated when they put the ball into the net, but the goal was canceled due to an offside position. A short time later, Pulisic found himself in a promising situation again when he scored again in the 44th minute, but this time from an offside position.

After half-time, Venezia had a good chance to equalize when Nicolussi Caviglia hit the post. The team also vehemently called for a penalty when John Yeboah was brought down in the penalty area, both requests being ignored by the referee and VAR, as reported by football-italia.net.

Santiago Gimenez seals the victory

In the final phase of the game, specifically in the last minute of stoppage time, Santiago Gimenez made the final score 2-0. After a quickly taken free kick by Tijjani Reijnders, he lobbed over the Venezia goalkeeper and thus put the final point under an efficient performance from Milan.

In addition, there was good news for Como 1907 in the parallel game, which defeated FC Genoa 1-0. Gabriel Strefezza scored the decisive goal in the 59th minute, helping Como climb to 11th place. Genoa, on the other hand, remains in 13th place with 39 points, while Matthias Braunöder spent the entire game on the bench at Como.

With this win, AC Milan shows that they are on the right track, especially after their recent 3-0 win over Inter in the Coppa Italia semi-final. Despite injuries to key players such as Emerson Royal and Luka Jovic, who was replaced at short notice by Tammy Abraham, Milan managed to take home the three points while Venezia were unable to improve their weak situation in the table.

Serie A remains exciting and the upcoming games will be crucial to how the table develops between now and the end of the season. Further information on current league statistics can be found at kicker.de.
