Milan Futuro 1-1 Vis Pesaro: Rossoneri lose home play-off advantage despite late draw | OneFootball

Milan Futuro earned themselves a late draw against Vis Pesaro, but they have lost an important advantage in the relegation play-off.

The Futuro’s recent resurgence was brought to a halt as they lost 3-2 away against Gubbio on Wednesday afternoon. After victories against Campobasso, Sestri Levante and Ternana in the past three rounds confidence was high, but a relegation play-off spot was mathematically confirmed.

They knew that a win would secure being at home for the second leg against SPAL in the play-off to see who goes down to the fourth tier, but ultimately Massimo Oddo’s side would have to settle for a draw.

Early in the second half, Vis Pesaro took the lead with a nice left foot by Raychev that beat Nava, and it had probably been coming given that the away side were close to opening the scoring on a couple of occasions in the first half.

Then, in the 89th minute, the Rossoneri got a point through Alesi. Under a sudden downpour, the No.8 unleashed a great right-footed shot from thirty metres that flew into the corner. There was to be no winner though, and with SPAL beating Gubbio 3-0, Milan lose the home advantage.
