"They were very good at shutting us down. We found ourselves in favourable positions despite a very tricky first half, but then went and conceded that goal. They dropped in intensity in the second half, and we increased. The thing that we have to improve on is our patience against these low-block teams so that we don't leave ourselves exposed on the counter-attack, which is how we risked losing this game."
"It's a lesson in maturity if we want to achieve our goal, which is to finish in the top four. We have to improve. We didn't have enough patience, we were too hasty and haste leads nowhere."
AC Milan came from behind to draw 1-1 with Genoa after Rafael Leao scored a 92nd-minute equaliser following Lorenzo Colombo's first-half strike. Milan registered 32 shots, eight on target, hit the woodwork twice and produced 2.45 expected goals. The Rossoneri extended an unbeaten streak to 17 Serie A matches this season and sit three points behind Inter. Manager Massimiliano Allegri said the team must be more patient against low-block opponents to avoid exposing themselves to counter-attacks and described the result as a lesson in maturity in pursuit of a top-four finish. Genoa missed a late penalty in the 99th minute.
