AC Milan vs Venezia

AC Milan made it two wins from two to open the Serie A season, seeing off Venezia 2-0 on the road at the Penzo. The standout moment came almost immediately, as Christian Pulisic settled the game's early tempo with a composed finish inside the opening five minutes, setting Milan up to control the contest from the front. Pulisic opened the scoring in the 5th minute, calmly finishing a pass from Youssouf Fofana past the Venezia goalkeeper. Venezia pushed for a way back into the match and had a goal chalked off for offside, but couldn't find the breakthrough. Milan made it safe deep into stoppage time when substitute Santiago Gimenez chipped home in the 90+2nd minute off a Tijjani Reijnders assist, ending a personal goal drought in the process. No red cards or penalties were shown. The win keeps Milan unbeaten and perfect through two rounds, with the clean sheet reinforcing the defensive solidity they've shown of late. For Venezia, it's back-to-back defeats to start the campaign, leaving them still searching for their first points of the season.
