Milan struggles continue with Empoli draw


Written by: Stephen Sharp
EMPOLI, Nov 18 (SW) - AC Milan had their winless run extended to four matches on Saturday as they endured another disappointing result, a 0-0 draw away to Empoli.

Milan were frustrated early on when a lob by Ricardo Oliveira struck the crossbar with the goalkeeper beaten, and Oliveira shortly after saw a shot cleared off the line by a desperate Empoli defense.

Oliveira's nightmare first half concluded just before the half-time whistle when he once again hit the woodwork with a shot, and Milan should have been up by at least three goals.

AC Milan were guilty of profilgate finishing in the second half as Empoli held out for a miraculous point given the dominance of the Rossoneri.

Carlo Ancelotti's side have just one win in their last nine Serie A outings.
