Competition events
After failing to win their last two league games, Milan moved up to seventh place with a much-needed three points.
The visitors struggled to find their rhythm in the first half and almost fell behind when Tomas Suslov pounced on Samuel Chukwueze's loose pass before forcing Mike Maignan into a low save.
Fonseca then suffered an injury when Rafael Leao had to leave before half-time with what appeared to be a muscle problem.
However, Milan finally found a breakthrough in the 56th minute when Reijnders made a well-timed run to evade the defense before expertly guiding a first-time shot into the top corner.
Despite a spirited performance, Verona could not find a late equalizer and remained one place and one point above the relegation zone.
