Milan suffer shock 2-0 loss at Spezia

Agency :
Two second-half goals secured lowly Spezia a shock 2-0 home win over AC Milan in Serie A on Saturday, condemning Stefano Pioli’s side to their first league loss in two months and denting their top-four hopes.

Defender Przemyslaw Wisniewski and midfielder Salvatore Esposito helped Spezia earn their first win in nine games and move them closer to safety.

Milan, who play Inter Milan in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final on Tuesday after losing 2-0 at home, have won only two of their last seven league matches.

They remained fifth in the standings with 61 points, two behind fourth-placed Inter who host Sassuolo later on Saturday.
“It’s normal that the Champions League is on our minds and it’s normal that we were disappointed with the result of the first leg,” Pioli said.
“But we know that the season comes from both the championship and the Champions League and this defeat complicates our future.
