Key adjustments and becoming possession-oriented: Tactical analysis of Genoa 1-2 AC Milan

AC Milan secured a 2-1 victory over Genoa to move into Serie A's Champions League qualification spots. Ruben Amorim's side established an early two-goal cushion within the first 20 minutes, capitalising on high-pressing situations. Alphadjo Cisse opened the scoring by finishing a cut-back from Adrien Rabiot, before Christian Pulisic added a second goal following an unselfish assist from Goncalo Ramos.

Rohit Rajeev highlights how Milan are increasingly transforming into a possession-oriented team while alternating between a 4-1-4-1 and 3-1-4-2 shape. After building a lead, Milan shifted to a defensive 5-4-1 structure, but Genoa pulled a goal back late through an Ellertsson strike that beat Mike Maignan from distance.
