THE REACTION FROM WHICH TO RESTART

Four minutes into the second half, Baldi's goal. 2-0 to Fiorentina and AC Milan down to ten since the 14th minute of the first half. Logic would indicate game over, but the heart does not. Giacinti reopens the match with a penalty, then only the crossbar and the post stop the Rossoneri's comeback. First Laura Fusetti, who hit the crossbar from range (with a miraculous save from Shroffenegger) and then Valentina Bergamaschi who struck a diagonal shot against the post.

The comeback was not completed, as Vigilucci's goal confirmed a 3-1 final score, but the reaction was commendable. A positive attitude in a really difficult moment in the match and in the season. A flame was lit, confirming that the Rossonere are there.

The home defeat has undeniably complicated plans for Coach Ganz’s team, who are now expected to have a much more complicated crunch match against Sassuolo than initially expected. There is a three-point gap to defend and a Champions League spot to secure.

And the point from which the team restarts must be precisely the same as their reaction in the most difficult moment against Fiorentina, a match which did not result in any points in the standings, but certainly confirms that it was just a hiccup at Vismara. Heads held high and courageous, to go forth and secure a well-deserved objective.
