Moreira rescues Milan: Lazio holds the lead

Lazio, coached by Gennaro Gattuso, remains top of Serie A after drawing 2-2 at the Stadio Olimpico against AC Milan. The hosts had been 2-0 up at halftime, but a late Milan surge cancelled the deficit and kept the title race wide open.

Lazio lead 2-0

The first half belonged to the 'laziali'. In the 10th minute, Nuno Tavares picked out Mattia Zaccagni, who crossed to the far post for Matteo Cancellieri to score, benefiting from a mistake by Pervis Estupiñán. At 39’, Kenneth Taylor delivered a ball into the box and Tijjani Noslin headed in after a rebound off the frame.

Moreira turns it around

After going in 2-0 down, Rúben Amorim made changes and brought off, among others, Luka Modrić. The second half was a different story: Milan raised their level and Diego Moreira—introduced on 46’ for Estupiñán—became the hero. He struck twice in quick succession: 2-1 came at 65’ when Moreira hit a left-footed volley off a cross from Christian Pulisic, and the equaliser followed at 67’ after an assist from Adrien Rabiot.

Lazio still clung to the top spot and extended the gap to the chasing pack. As Mundo Deportivo points out, Milan were closer to winning in the final stretch, but Christos Mandas kept the result alive. The same report also notes that Roma and Inter play on Monday, with the chance to close the one-point gap.
