Virtus Verona 2-3 Milan Futuro: Menon, Perera and Pagliei score in entertaining win

Milan Futuro are back in the win column as they managed to secure a thrilling 3-2 victory away against Virtus Verona.

Milan Futuro battled hard against Pavonese in the rearranged Serie D matchday six fixture on Wednesday night and got a 1-1 draw away from home, despite having gone down to 10 men. It was a result to build on, and build on it they did.

After a tentative start in which both teams had a few half-chances, it was the home team took the lead in the 20th minute with a shot from outside the box by Cuel that deceived Pittarella.

The Rossoneri equalised in the 22nd minute through Luca Menon, who beat the opposing goalkeeper with a powerful left-footed shot from the edge of the box. After the equaliser, both teams had opportunities to go ahead, but it was level at the break.

The Rossoneri got off to a much better start in the second half, taking the lead in the 49th minute after a persistent attack through Nirash Perera, who volleyed in a fine cross from the right.

Navarro’s team then made it 3-1 in the 73rd minute with Matteo Pagliei, who headed in a great Lorenzo Ossola cross. The home side made it a one-goal game again in the 78th minute through Franchi, but it wasn’t enough.

The Futuro therefore return to winning ways in the league and climbs to 17 points in the standings, with the second half of the match against Piacenza still to be played after that was suspended due to the referee getting injured.
