22 September 2021 AC Milan beat Venice 2-0.

Brahim Diaz on the net in the 68th minute and Hernandez for the Rossoneri in the 82nd minute.



Theo Hernandez puts Milan on his shoulders with an assist and a goal in the 2-0 to a proud Venezia, bent only in the second half of the second half. At San Siro, Milan won their fourth victory in the first five days and reached Inter at the top of the standings, at least for one night waiting for Napoli. Still without Giroud and Ibrahimovic, the Rossoneri had to work harder than expected against the Serie A freshman. This is also due to an orderly and attentive Venezia, which does not allow any shot in the mirror of the goal defended by Maenpaa in the first half. The most important occasions happen to the main protagonists of the match at the Stadium against Juventus. At 25 'Rebic touches the encore on the nice corner beaten by Tonali, six minutes later it'sKalulu to go - again - a few centimeters from the goal, with the conclusion from the edge slightly wide. The guests remain in the game and, almost out of nowhere, risk taking the lead at the sunset of the first fraction: on the developments of a corner, Dor Peretz is not punctual at the far post on Forte's spike. The Devil tries to rearrange his ideas in the locker room but in the first quarter of an hour of the second half it is only a shot by Diaz to send a shiver down the back of the arancioneroverdi.The Devil tries to rearrange his ideas in the locker room but in the first quarter of an hour of the second half it is only a shot by Diaz to send a shiver down the back of the arancioneroverdi.The Devil tries to rearrange his ideas in the locker room but in the first quarter of an hour of the second half it is only a shot by Diaz to send a shiver down the back of the arancioneroverdi.



Pioli therefore looks for freshness to give back thrust on the flanks by inserting Saelemaekers and Theo Hernandez, and the Frenchman is immediately the protagonist. At 68 'the left-back of Milan serves Diaz who, this time from a few steps away, cannot go wrong and unlocks a match that risked becoming even more complicated. At 73 'Pellegri's debut time comes, allowing Rebic to catch his breath for a remnant of the game, while Paolo Zanetti tries to catch it with Okereke, in addition to Henry who has already entered for a few minutes. To close it, however, is Theo Hernandez: Saelemaekers sows panic on the right, ball on the other side and diagonal missile of the transalpine that virtually brings down the curtain at 82 '. Milan flies, Venezia remains at three points.



Cagliari 0-2 Empoli


The Tuscans win away from home, beating Cagliari 2-0 thanks to Di Francesco and Stulac's 29th goals in the 69th minute.



Empoli places the bang in Cagliari and returns to success after two consecutive knockouts. At Unipol Domus it ends 2-0 for Andreazzoli's team, which passes thanks to goals from Di Francesco and Stulac. Once again in the shadow of Mazzarri's team, still in the penultimate position in the standings and without success after the first five days of the championship.



The first real chance of the match is for the guests in the 8th minute, when Haas receives from Marchizza but kicks wide from an excellent position, gracing Cragno. The challenge remains balanced and on 23 'the Sardinians try to be seen too, with Lykogiannis shooting from distance calling Vicar to answer. Close to half an hour Empoli passes ahead: a fortuitous play by Haas and an assist for Di Francesco, who controls and kicks by finding a decisive detour to beat Cragno.



In the second half, Mazzarri's team substantially increased the revs of their engine, trying them all to hunt for a draw.

At 58 'Keita is very unlucky, who, after checking in the area, kicks on goal hitting a sensational post.

Empoli is saved and ten minutes later is doubled with a pearl from Stulac, who entered the field very recently and immediately decisive.


At 81 'the Tuscans go centimeters from closing it with what would have been Henderson's goal of the year, who sees Cragno out of the posts and tries his luck from a long way off, hitting an incredible crossbar.

Azzurri hitting another wood also in the final, this time with Bajrami.
