The Rossoneri had their fourth win in a row in Serie A. This time, Chievo fell down on their knees on their home stadium.
In the second last match of the 30th round in Serie A, AC Milan played in Verona against Chievo and won with the goal from Ricardo Montolivo. The Milan number 18 had a superb game where he scored the only goal in the 90 minutes on the soaked Chievo stadium. Montolivo scored in the 25th minute. It was a series of free kicks awarded to Milan that got the game started. Super Mario Balotelli was the executioner of all of them. Now the Chievo goalkeeper did a decent job with keeping the ball out of the net. But in the 25th minute, a hard right footed shot left made the keeper.
The Rossoneri succeeded in holding the 1 goal advantage until the end to get the much needed three points. With these three points, AC Milan are still in the race for the second place in Serie A. Unfortunately, Napoli beat Torino 5-3 and that left Milan still 2 points behind them. Now we are just hoping for a bad result for Napoli which would mean AC Milan stealing the second spot which reserves a spot in the Champions League for next season.
3 Things We Learned From The Game:
Super Mario is expected to score in every game now. Against Chievo, he came close about a dozen times and it was his thunderous strike from a set piece which was parried by the goalkeeper right on the foot of an onrushing Riccardo Montolivo who netted in comfortably. Balotelli almost repeated the same trick minutes later as he thumped in another low free-kick sensing the Chievo keeper Christian Puggioni’s weakness with the dead ball situation, but this time Puggioni cleared the ball before the Milan players could get it.
Milan continued to dominate large spells of possession in the water logged Cheivo pitch and Balotelli fired in as many as 5 free-kicks before the half time break and if not for Chievo’s resolute defenders Balotelli could have scored an hat-trick. His average rating Serie A matches should tell the story of the player’s improvement since his move to Milan.
On Sunday 7 April at 12:30, Milan travel to Florenec to face Fiorentina at the Franchi stadium in the city.
