AC Milan solidified their grip on second place in Serie A with a 3-1 victory over Verona, capitalizing on Juventus's draw with Genoa. Meanwhile, Fiorentina's match against Atalanta was postponed due to the sudden illness of their general manager, Giuseppe 'Joe' Barone.
Goals from Theo Hernandez and Christian Pulisic before and after halftime respectively put Milan in a commanding position, with Samuel Chukwueze adding a third late in the game. The win pushed Milan three points clear of Juventus in the race for Champions League qualification.
