Soccer Extreme : continue to lose vital points in their race for the Scudetto after drawing against Genoa in the Comunale Luigi Ferraris stadium and allowing Napoli to close the gap between them.
‘The Rossoneri’ were playing fairly comfortable in the pitch having Robinho go upfront who later failed a golden opportunity to score when his shot went wide over the crossbar and Zlatan Ibrahimovic was left waiting unmarked for the ball.
However things would change for the Italian table toppers as the Swedish giant got hold of the ball in the penalty box and waited for his Brazilian teammate Alexandre Pato to join him upfront and with a deep pass the Brazilian tipped it into the net scoring the first goal of the match.
In the later minutes of the first half Genoa tried their luck on scoring with Antonio Floro Flores who easily was the best player on the home side and managed to beat off Ac.Milan defenders rather easily but just wasn’t able to finish scoring.
With the first period drawing its end, it was Floro Flores turn to score with a deep pass thrown in by Abdoulay Konko and the 27 years old Italian player slipped the ball past Christian Abbiatti and equalizing the encounter right before the first period had ended.
The second period and Genoa was forced to defend for the entire time as Ac.Milan kept on attacking without end but despite all the efforts of Allegri and his side they couldn’t break the opposition’s back line.
Massimiliano Allegri decided to replace Robinho with Antonio Cassano but Genoa continued to hang on to the current score and were able to deny Milan from scoring. (football.news)
