Milan responds to Inter and regains the lead in the Italian League
Milan regained the lead in the Italian football league from its neighbor, Inter Milan, when it reversed its defeat in front of its host Verona to win 3-1 on Sunday at the end of the thirty-sixth stage.
Milan raised its score to 80 points, compared to 78 for last season's champion, who had beaten Empoli 4-2 on Friday at the opening stage, and will play in the middle of the week the local cup final against Juventus.
Milan midfielder Sandro Tonali imposed himself as a star of the match by scoring two goals, knowing that the video assistant referee "VAR" also canceled a goal.
Tonali also played the role of the savior when he scored the winning goal against Lazio 2-1 in overtime.
Tonali thought that he opened the scoring after 15 minutes, after receiving a forehand ball from French goalkeeper Mike Minnian and past Lorenzo Montepo before hitting the net, but the referee canceled it for offside after consulting with "VAR".
Verona managed to open the scoring with a header by Davide Farwani (39), but Milan, who was the better party most of the first half, refused to equalize through Tonali, who invested a perfect ball from Portuguese winger Rafael Leao and hit it into the net (45 + 3).
The goal of progress for Milan was a replica of the first after a pass from Liao in his left to Tonali, so he followed it into the goal (49).
Substitute Alessandro Florenzi decided the result in favor of Milan when he received the ball from Brazilian Junior Macias, and fired it powerfully beyond the reach of Verona goalkeeper, giving his team three valuable points.
Two stages remain in the league, knowing that Milan is seeking to win its first domestic league title since 2011.
