Milan edge closer to qualification after victory over Girona
Rafael Leao's first-half goal was enough for AC Milan to beat Girona and edge closer to automatic qualification for the last 16 of Champions League.
Portugal forward Leao latched on to Ismael Bennacer's through ball, jinked inside the box and unleashed a fierce strike into the top corner for the only goal of the game.
Bryan Gil had the ball in the net for the Spanish visitors just before the hour mark, but his sublime strike from the edge of the box was ruled out for offside.
Leao had a chance to increase his tally in the 65th minute but his right-footed curling shot veered wide of goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga's post.
Italian side Milan are sixth in the table on 15 points, occupying one of the eight automatic qualification spots for the last 16, with a trip to Croatian club Dinamo Zagreb to come next week.
La Liga side Girona have three points and are unable to qualify for the play-off stage.
