Milan Futuro secured a brilliant result on Sunday evening as they beat title contenders Chievo Verona handsomely away from home.
The Futuro lost for the first time in 2026 last time out after failing to find the back of the net against Pavia. The away side scored the opener just before the half-time break and although Massimo Oddo’s players created chances, it wasn’t to be. They were thus fifth in the standings before today’s game.
In the end, it was a very convincing display by Massimo Oddo’s side against a Chievo team that have led the league for most of the season before slipping into second. Chaka Traorè was the star of the match, and the winger – captain for the day – opened the scoring after just over three minutes with a shot in off the post.
In the 20th minute, the Rossoneri doubled their lead. Sala received the ball all alone around 25 yards out and unleashed a right-footed shot that bounced past Tosi in the Chievo goal, an attempt that fooled him it seems.
In the 35th minute, the Rossoneri made it three. Karaca was brought down in the penalty area and the referee awarded a spot kick, which Traorè converted perfectly, wrong-footing the goalkeeper.
Chievo tried to get back into the game in the second half, and they found a consolation goal when De Cerchio’s corner was met by Uggè who scored at the far post to make it 3-1. After a chance for D’Este, Milan came close to scoring a fourth late on with two chances for substitute Asanji.
The Rossoneri secured three massive points having also beat Chievo in the return leg. They climb into second place on goal difference, on 34 points, eight points behind leaders Folgore Caratese.
