Milan Dominates Venezia 2-0: Amorim’s Men Continue Perfect Start
AC Milan secured their second consecutive victory in the 2026/2027 Serie A season with a convincing 2-0 win over Venezia at San Siro. The match, played on Friday night, saw the Rossoneri control the game from start to finish, with goals from Gonçalo Ramos and an own goal by Redouane Halhal sealing the three points. This result keeps Milan at the top of the table with a perfect record, while Venezia remains winless after two rounds.
The first half was a display of attacking intent from both sides, but it was Milan who created the clearer chances. Gonçalo Ramos was a constant threat, finding space in the box but failing to convert his opportunities. Venezia, despite being under pressure, showed resilience and even managed to test the Milan defense. Notably, Venezia had seven different players attempt at least two shots, more than any other team in this Serie A round, indicating their willingness to attack despite the eventual loss.
The deadlock was broken in the 69th minute when Ramos finally found the back of the net, capitalizing on a well-worked move. The goal lifted the spirits of the home crowd and put Milan in control. As Venezia pushed forward in search of an equalizer, they left gaps at the back, and Milan exploited this in the 89th minute. A surging run from Ardon Jashari forced an own goal from Redouane Halhal, sealing the 2-0 scoreline and sending the San Siro faithful into celebration.
For Milan coach Ruben Amorim, this victory marks a perfect start to his tenure, with two wins from two matches. On the other side, Venezia’s Giovanni Stroppa experienced a bittersweet return to San Siro, where he was visibly emotional during a tribute to the late Franco Baresi before kickoff. Despite the defeat, Venezia can take heart from their performance, having registered an Expected Goals (xG) value over 1.0, a feat only 78 teams have achieved in the first round of this Serie A season.
