Jeremy Menez threatened in the opening stages when he charged towards the edge of the box and curled a strike that ended up safely in the gloves of Mattia Perin.

The Rossoneri soon worked another good chance to score as Pablo Armero's cross found Stephan El Shaarawy, but the striker's header was comfortably saved by the keeper.

Milan continued to look the more dangerous of the two sides, and Menez came close again when he burst through on goal before firing a low strike straight at Perin.

However, it was Genoa who took the lead in the 32nd minute, as Luca Antonelli headed Diego Perotti's corner beyond the reach of Diego Lopez.

Milan almost found themselves two goals down at the break, but Perotti's strike from the edge of the box was cleared off the line by Daniele Bonera.

The visitors struggled to create any clear-cut chances after the break and Facundo Roncaglia almost extended Genoa's lead with a powerful strike from range that went narrowly over the bar.

Giacomo Bonaventura fired over from inside the box late on and it proved to be Milan's final chance as they slipped to their third league defeat of the season.
