Behind 1-2 in the first half, Milan continued to try to play aggressively in the second half. Milan got some sweet opportunities, including when Theo Hernandez fired a shot from close range in the 64th minute. But that effort was countered by Verona goalkeeper Marco Silvestri.
A minute later, Milan get a penalty kick for Kessie foul. Zlatan Ibrahimovic stepped in as the lead but Ibrahimovic’s shot went high over the net.

In the 90th minute, Davide Calabria successfully thrilled the Verona goal with a hard shot in the penalty box. However, referee Marco Guida then stated that Ibrahimovic had committed a foul first and canceled the goal.
