MILAN, Jan 8 : A late Rafael Leao goal earned AC Milan a 1-1 draw with Genoa at the San Siro on Thursday where the hosts extended their unbeaten run in Serie A thanks to a penalty miss from the visitors on the stroke of full time.
Milan had gone 16 matches without defeat since their only league loss on the opening day of the season, and their unbeaten run looked like coming to an end with Milan loanee Lorenzo Colombo scoring against his parent club in the 28th minute.
Leao headed in from a corner in stoppage time to equalise but there was more late drama when Genoa were awarded a penalty at the death. However, Nicolae Stanciu sent his spot kick over the bar.
Milan are second on 39 points, three behind leaders Inter Milan who beat Parma 2-0 on Wednesday, while Genoa remain 17th on 16 points, three points above the relegation zone.
