According to Italian sports news agency ANSA, AC Milan secured a hard-fought 2-0 victory against Venezia in the early Serie A fixture at San Siro, driven by Gonçalo Ramos’s first club goal and an 89th-minute own goal by Marin Halhal. The match marked Rúben Amorim’s first home win in charge, keeping the Rossoneri at the top of the league standings with a maximum of three points from two games while leaving Venezia scoreless.
Ramos Breaks Duck Amidst San Siro Tribute to Franco Baresi
According to the ANSA match report, the fixture served as an emotional tribute to club legend Franco Baresi. Before kickoff, fans displayed a banner honoring the former captain, and the club placed his iconic number 6 shirt on a seat in the stands, where former teammate Daniele Massaro later kissed it with tear-filled eyes.
According to match reporter Luca Guazzoni, the breakthrough arrived in the 69th minute when summer signing Gonçalo Ramos netted his first goal for the club. Alexis Saelemaekers played a vertical pass to Ramos, who struck a left-footed diagonal shot past Venezia goalkeeper Filip Stanković. The strike ended a frustrating evening for the Portuguese forward, who had squandered multiple chances earlier in the match, including a 12th-minute opportunity saved by Stanković and a 37th-minute whiff from close range.
Late Own Goal Seals Venezia Resistance
According to the match account, Venezia posed a consistent threat throughout the evening despite sitting deep, relying on attackers Jay Idzes and Joel Yeboah, though both remained quiet in front of goal. Midfielder Antoine Hainaut fired wide early in the second half, and Yunus Musah hit the crossbar for Milan in the 55th minute with a close-range effort.
According to ANSA, Milan sealed the 2-0 win in the 89th minute through an unfortunate defensive deflection. Saelemaekers sent Ardon Jashari through on goal; although Stanković blocked the initial shot, the rebound struck Venezia defender Marin Halhal and crossed the goalline. The victory leaves Milan with a perfect record, while Venezia remains at the bottom of the table without a point.
