Leao scored the only goal of the delayed match in the eighth minute to help his team get back to winning ways.
Milan turned the ball over thanks to Verona’s Isak Hien, who dallied in possession. Leao was put through immediately and punished the away side with a finish inside the right post.
Milan were humiliated 5-1 by Inter Milan in the city derby last weekend before being held 0-0 by Newcastle in their Champions League opener on Tuesday, so a victory was much needed.
