MILAN FUTURO BEAT CHIEVO 3‑1 IN VERONA
Milan Futuro
Milan Futuro returned to winning ways with a 3-1 victory away to ChievoVerona on matchday 20 in Serie D Group B. After the home setback against Pavia, Massimo Oddo’s side got off to a flying start and effectively settled the game in the first half. Chaka Traorè's brace, coupled with Sala's strike from distance, gave them a commanding lead, built on high tempo, aggressive pressing, and superior physicality compared to the hosts. The win is a big one, and with three points, Milan Futuro join ChievoVerona and Brusaporto in second place in the table.
In the second half, the hosts tried to up the intensity and gain more ground, but Milan Futuro absorbed the pressure, stayed compact, managed transitions smartly, and held on to their lead until the final whistle. Chaka Traorè was the star of the show - not just for his brace, his first goals since the reverse fixture against today's opponents - but also for the bursts of pace that consistently pulled the Clivensi apart. Karaca also impressed, providing constant support down the left, contributing defensively, and cleverly winning the penalty. Next up for the Rossoneri is a home clash against Casatese Merate, who are also flying high in the table.

MATCH REPORT
Milan Futuro got off to a flying start in Verona, launched the perfect counter in the fourth minute: after direct combination play between Castiello and Sala, the Rossoneri forward delivered a cross to the far post, where Chaka Traorè was waiting to control it it on his chest and slot the ball neatly between Jassey's legs to make it 1-0. A minute later, a quick ChievoVerona free-kick caught Oddo's men off guard, leading to a scramble involving Paloschi and Pisano, who couldn't direct the ball towards goal, and the Rossoneri defence cleared. In the 19th minute, Traorè played a short free-kick to Eletu, who spread play for Sala. His curling right-foot strike bounced in front of Tosi and went in: 2-0 to Milan Futuro after just 20 minutes. The Rossoneri were in control and awarded a penalty in the 35th minute following a foul by Pisano on Karaca. Traorè calmly converted from the spot to make it 3-0, which was the scoreline at the break.
The second half saw the Rossoneri manage the game while also having to withstand pressure. In the 46th minute, Castiello won the ball and raced past Pisano, but his shot in the box was straight at Tosi. Two minutes later, Karaca broke free from Sbampato, only for his effort to be turned behind for a corner by the goalkeeper. In the 50th minute, Pittarella failed to claim a ChievoVerona corner, allowing Uggè to tap into an empty net at the far post and pull one back for the hosts. Four minutes later, there was another scare for Milan Futuro: Zukić was unable to clear with his head and Paloschi laid the ball off for D’Este, who failed to find the target with his right foot. In the 64th minute, D'Este saw his header saved. In the closing stages, Milan Futuro launched a few counter-attacks: Asanji won the ball high but shot wide (87'), Domniței went close with a fine right-footed strike (90+1'), and an attempt from Asanji in transition lacked the power to beat Tosi (90+5'). The match ended 3-1 to us.
