The game between Lazio and Milan came to end with a draw. Both teams scored twice as the game was end to end drama for full 90 minutes.
After a one-two pass with Castellanos, Tavares plays Dia through on goal with a magnificent chip over the top of Emerson, but Maignan is fast off his line to close down the angle. The recently acquired Milan center-back blocks the Lazio forward’s attempt to sneak the ball under the goalkeeper and into the empty net.
After stopping Lazio from having a very certain goal five minutes earlier, Pavlovic suddenly appears at the other end, dribbling past his defender on the six-yard line and sending a header past a defenseless Provedel giving Milan an early 1-0 lead.
Tavares finds Tchaouna unmarked at the back post after spotting a dangerous ball from the left wing once more. The winger angles his header, but it loops awkwardly towards Maignan, who stops it close to goal.
Patric first heads Chukwueze’s throw from the left flag away, but only as far as Fofana, who is 18 yards from goal. The midfielder positions himself and attempts a volley with his laces; the shot connects but misses the goal.
After squeezing past Lazzari, Okafor throws a pass forward for Pulisic, who overlaps and drives to the byline before centering a selfless pass across the goal’s face for Loftus-Cheek. The Lazio defense can sigh with satisfaction as the unmarked midfielder sneaks in to turn the ball into the open goal but is unable to quite reach it.
Following a contact with Pavlovic, Castellanos goes down inside the 18-yard box and stays on the ground for a considerable amount of time. The referee determines that it appears to be a fairly harmless gathering and gives Milan a free kick at the penalty spot.
In an attempt to split Milan’s center backs with a cutting pass for Isaksen, Terracciano reads the play well and moves inside to break up the connection, giving his team an extra second to realign.
Isaksen is given the freedom to cross the ball from the left wing, but he makes the incorrect decision and drags a low delivery into the penalty area for Zaccagni’s late run. Tomori easily clears the ball.
After a change in play, Zaccagni has an abundance of space to work with. However, as soon as he touches the ball, the winger somehow wanders into an offside position just inside Milan’s half, stopping his progress.
Following a Milan counterattack, Okafor manages to find himself inside Lazio’s penalty area, but Provedel easily collects his weak shot that went between two defenders.
Cutting inside ahead of Emerson, Zaccagni sends a beautiful pass down the left wing to Dia, who finds Tavares running overlapping. The left-back has only one thought on his mind as he instantly curls a gorgeous cross around the corner for Castellanos, who volleys it home to equalize the score.
After a pass from Zaccagni, Emerson again fails to stop Tavares’ dangerous overlapping run, allowing his opponent to drive towards the near post. As Dia rushes towards the goal, the full-back passes the ball to the forward rather than taking a shot himself, allowing the forward to tap in the goal making a comeback in the game.
Leao’s first touch of the ball results in a goal. Inside the penalty area, the Portugal international receives Abraham’s lay-off and shoots past Tavares and Provedel. Milan equalises the score 2-2.
After what looks to be a handball within the Milan penalty area, Lazio is calling for a penalty; however, Musah’s contact is only considered incidental because Tomori’s clearance catches his teammate’s arm. For now, it’s simply a corner, and Patric receives a yellow card for disobedience.
