Key moments
Mario Gila is shown the yellow card for his challenge. He does not take the decision well, but Matteo Marcenaro stands firm.

Diego Moreira misses with a left-footed shot from a tight angle on the left; the ball goes just wide of the left post. Assist by Christian Pulisic. Gennaro Gattuso makes a substitution: Manuel Lazzari replaces Romano Floriani (Lazio).
Here is how Milan pulled one back, before the equalizer:
The Lazio coach is at a loss for answers after conceding two goals in quick succession. Consequently, he decided to make substitutions in an effort to regain the lead. Andrea Pinamonti replaces Tijjani Noslin.
The equalizer:
Milan equalizes in less than two minutes, thanks to a brace from Diego Moreira. It’s absolute madness! Amorim went wild during the celebration. He received a brilliant pass and unleashed a precise shot that beat the goalkeeper.
Diego Moreira! Goal!, Goal!, Goal for Milan. A perfect cross into the box from Christian Pulisic; he controls the ball with a great first touch. He fires a low shot—and it's in!
MOMENT OF FRICTION AND EXCESSIVE FORCE: Yellow card for a tackle by Strahinja Pavlovic (Milan). Matteo Marcenaro shows a yellow card to Reda Belahyane (Lazio); he can hardly be surprised, as his tackle was very rough.
Shot saved to the right side of the goal. Christian Pulisic strikes with his right foot from the right side of the box. Assisted by Alphadjo Cisse. The referee shows a yellow card to Reda Belahyane (Lazio).
Strahinja Pavlovic rises above the defense to head a precise cross toward goal. His effort, directed straight down the middle, is easily saved by Christos Mandas. Lazio escapes! A great start to the second half.
Diego Moreira took the space and tried to put the ball in the middle of the area, but a defender lost it. The dirty ball leaves the playing field. Corner favorable to Milan. Lazio must correct some movements in the defensive zone.
The second half kicks off. Ruben Amorim decides to make three changes after the break: Luka Modric replaces Yunus Musah, Diego Moreira comes on for Pervis Estupiñán, and Christian Pulisic replaces Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
Halftime:
Folks, we’re heading into the break. It’s been a great first half here in Rome. Lazio surprised everyone by taking a 2-0 lead over Milan. The visitors are trying to respond, but so far, it hasn't been enough to pull a good back.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek receives a pass and shoots from a good position at the edge of the box, but his effort is blocked. Milan will take a corner. Three additional minutes will be played at the Stadio Olimpico. Lazio are sitting deep in their own half, waiting for the first half to end.
Goal!, Goal!, Goal of Lazio! Tijjani Noslin scores with a header that enters the left post.
Davide Frattesi missed with a right-footed shot from a tight angle on the left; the ball went just wide of the left post. The play was set up by a cross into the box from Nuno Tavares. Milan had a good spell after conceding the goal but could not sustain the intensity needed to find an equalizer.
Mattia Zaccagni pounces on a loose ball inside the box and unleashes a powerful shot towards the center of the goal. Mike Maignan anticipates the move and makes a solid save. Now the home side responds, looking to extend their lead.
Gonçalo Ramos attempts a low pass into the box from the edge of the area, but the defense manages to block the delivery. Corner for AC Milan. The visitors are getting closer and closer to an equalizer. Lazio is holding firm against their opponent's surge.
Matteo Cancellieri finishes sensationally. He created space after receiving a good pass inside the box and scored into the bottom right corner. Goal!, Goal!, Goal for Lazio.
A wasted opportunity for Mattia Zaccagni. He latched onto a cutback inside the box and fired towards the right post, but lacked the power to beat Mike Maignan, who made an easy save. Milan let off the hook!
The game started:
In addition to Danilo Cataldi, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Adam Marusic, and Nicolo Rovella, Lazio could also be without Luca Pellegrini and Patric, who are still lacking match fitness. Despite netting a winning goal in Udine last weekend, Gudmundsson is more likely to start on the bench on Saturday, with Tijjani Noslin expected to lead the line for the hosts. Meanwhile, Amorim will have his entire Milan squad fit and ready for this contest after Matteo Gabbia resumed training earlier this week. After a decisive off-the-bench contribution against Juventus, Samuel Chukwueze and Cisse should both return to the starting lineup, while Sankhoun Diawara could make his Serie A debut at the expense of former Lazio star Mario Gila, who’s not 100% fit.
AC Milan have lost just one of their last five away matches in the league while picking up three wins and one draw since mid-April.
Lazio are unbeaten in six of their most recent seven Serie A home games, picking up four wins and two draws since the start of March.
- With 27 wins from the last 58 meetings between the sides, AC Milan boast a superior record in the history of this fixture.
- Lazio have picked up 15 wins in that time, while the spoils have been shared on 16 occasions.
- Having won four straight Serie A matches since last season, Gattuso's men are aiming to make it five league victories on the bounce for the first time since November 2024.
- Davide Frattesi has scored three goals in his first three Serie A appearances for Lazio; before him, only Mauro Zárate, Giuseppe Signori, and Silvio Piola had managed to score in their first three top-flight matches for the club, though none of them scored in their fourth.
- Following his goals against Torino and Juventus, Alphadjo Cisse could become the third player to score in each of his first three away games for AC Milan in Serie A during the three-points-per-win era (since the 1994-95 season), joining Maurizio Ganz (January–February 1998) and Krzysztof Piatek (February–March 2019).
- Rúben Amorim could become the first AC Milan manager to win three of his first four Serie A matches in charge since Fatih Terim in 2001; more broadly, the Portuguese coach could be the twelfth manager in the club's history to achieve at least three victories in his first four top-flight games.
- Gennaro Gattuso served as both a player and a manager for AC Milan: he played 335 Serie A matches as a footballer between 1999 and 2012 (more than any other *Rossonero* player during that period) and managed the team in 62 league games between 2017 and 2019, winning exactly half of them (31 wins, 19 draws, and 12 losses).
- Lazio won their first home match of the season; in the previous 10 Serie A seasons, the Biancocelesti managed to win their opening two home games on only one occasion: the 2022-23 season.
- Milan have lost at least one of their first four Serie A matches in each of the last three seasons (from 2023-24 to 2025-26), after remaining unbeaten in their opening four games in each of the three preceding seasons (from 2020-21 to 2022-23).
- Since 2012, Lazio has won seven of its 15 home Serie A matches against Milan (4 draws, 4 losses). During this period, Milan has lost more away league games only against Inter (eight) and Juventus (nine), having also lost seven against Napoli.
- Lazio has won its first three Serie A matches this season; previously, the Biancocelesti had only achieved such a feat in the 1974-75 (drawing the fourth) and 2012-13 (losing the fourth) seasons.
- Lazio have won two of their last three Serie A games against Milan (L1), as many as they had in their previous 10 (D1 L7); furthermore, the Biancocelesti have not won two consecutive league games against the Rossoneri since 2012.
- Lazio have lost 73 of their 166 Serie A matches against Milan (W33, D60). Only against Juventus (87) have they suffered more defeats in the top flight. Furthermore, Lazio have drawn 60 matches against Milan in the tournament (the same as against Torino), a number second only to their draws against Roma (62).





Milan salvaged a very valuable point during their visit to Rome. Amorim's side were trailing 2-0 but managed to level the score and could even have won the match. Lazio played very well in the first half but were unable to maintain that intensity afterwards
