Rafael Leao and Sandro Tonali scored goals in the first half to give champion Milan a 36-point lead in Salerno.
With a 2-1 victory against Salernitana on Wednesday, AC Milan reduced the gap on Serie A leaders Napoli to five points, while Lazio suffered a 2-1 loss to newly promoted Lecce. Rafael Leao and Sandro Tonali scored goals in the first half to help champion Milan go up to 36 points in Salerno, reducing the gap on Napoli, who will play Inter Milan later in the day at the San Siro as the top flight of Italy resumes. Regardless of other outcomes, Milan will remain in second position and will be praying for a Napoli blunder before the forthcoming weekend round of games in which they play sixth-placed Roma, who defeated Bologna 1-0 on their return to action.
Prior to their encounter against struggling Cremonese, Stefano Pioli’s team is five points clear of third-placed Juventus.
Milan should have won more games at the Stadio Arechi
Milan should have won more games at the Stadio Arechi, but a combination of wayward shooting and a standout performance by Salernitana’s new goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa prevented Milan from scoring the goals their performance deserved. In order to win more comfortably, we could have scored one or two more goals, according to Tonali, who told Sky that “we were almost perfect.”
We’ll defend the title until the last drop of sweat leaves the field because we understand how important what we accomplished last season was.
After the World Cup, veteran Mexico international Ochoa relocated to Salernitana, where he had an impact in the absence of an injured Luigi Sepe. Salernitana is now in 14th place with 17 points. With eight minutes left, the 37-year-old made two outstanding saves against Olivier Giroud and Charles De Ketelaere, allowing Federico Bonazzoli to head in Lassana Coulibaly’s deep cross and give the home team some hope in the waning moments.
