(Reuters) – AC Milan were held to a 0-0 draw by Genoa in Serie A at the San Siro on Sunday, a result that dimmed the festivities on the club’s 125th anniversary.
Milan had the upper hand from the start but had mostly half-chances in the first half and avoided conceding a penalty when teenage forward Mattia Liberali’s tackle on Genoa midfielder Fabio Miretti went unpunished.
Halftime substitute Alvaro Morata dribbled through the Genoa defence before firing over in the 76th minute and hit the bar three minutes later.
Milan, who celebrated on Sunday the anniversary of their founding on Dec. 16, 1899, remained eighth in the standings on 23 points, eight points adrift of the top four. Genoa are 13th with 16 points.
