AC Milan 2-0 Venezia Player Ratings: Gonçalo Ramos' Strike Proved Decisive As The Rossoneri Maintain Top Spot In The League

AC Milan hosted Venezia at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on matchday 2, with the current league leaders eyeing a comfortable win over a 12th-placed side. The hosts were dominant throughout the first half, managing an xG of 0.82 compared to Venezia's 0.20.

Goncalo Ramos had three very good chances to put AC Milan ahead, but two of those shots were saved by Filip Stankovic, while he scuffed another on Ruben Loftus-Cheek's sweet delivery. Koni De Winter headed Luka Modric's smart delivery over the crossbar, which shows that the hosts were quite wasteful in front of goal.

Akor Adams came the closest for Venezia, which was their only shot on target in the first half, but Mike Maignan was on hand to palm away his tightly angled shot.

Milan finally found their way through in the 70th minute, as Goncalo Ramos's sublime finish from an Alexis Saelemaekers put the hosts ahead on the night. Redouane Halhal scored an own goal in the dying minutes of the game, handing Milan an easy win.
