FULL-TIME: LAZIO 2-2 AC MILAN

comment

Instead of throwing everyone forward, Milan take the free-kick short as it's rolled into the path of Hutchinson. The Englishman hits it superbly, but it can only sting the gloves of Mandas.

90'

comment

Gudmundsson brings down Hutchinson around 25-30 yards from goal, fairly centrally, and the Lazio man walks away knowing he's given Milan the final chance in this one.

There will be at least four minutes of added time at the end of this one.

comment

Chukwueze looks to make things happen yet again, and he almost picks out the hat-trick-seeking Moreira at the back post. The Belgian can't quite do anything with it though, and the time for a winner is quickly ticking away.

87'

comment

After being booked for a challenge just a moment ago, Gila is now on the receiving end of one from Gudmundsson as this one gets rather scrappy. Both sides clearly want to win, but it's evident they also don't want to lose it now, this late on.

Yellow Card

Gila clips the ankle of Zaccagni, and we now make that five second-half yellow cards.

Ramos has yet to really get going in a Milan shirt, and his evening is over here as Camarda comes on.

Romano and Moreira square up over on the far side, but it's quickly separated as the referee runs over. The man in the middle decides against brandishing more yellow cards, instead allowing the game to quickly resume.

comment

Since 2012, Lazio have won seven of their 15 Serie A home games against AC Milan (D4, L4). In this period, AC Milan have only lost more away league matches against Inter (eight) and Juventus (nine) – they have also lost seven against Napoli.

78'

Yellow Card

Another yellow card is issued, this time in the direction of Zaccagni for a foul on Musah.

Substitution

Indeed, Cisse is replaced. Hutchinson is his replacement as he makes his debut following his loan move from Nottingham Forest.

77'

•

highlight

CLOSE! Cisse dazzles his way into the Lazio box but can't apply the finish. With the angle narrowing, the Italian looks to find the far corner, but it lacks the necessary bend to find the net. That looks like it'll be his final action of the night too.

74'

Substitution

Taylor has played well for the hosts, but his evening is over as he's replaced by Gudmundsson, the very player who was called upon to bag the winner against Udinese last time out for Lazio.

comment

Frattesi has scored three goals in his first three Serie A appearances for Lazio, and all hell might break loose if the man on-loan from Inter comes up trumps again here against his old foes.

The ball is back rolling once again at the Stadio Olimpico, so stay tuned for what should be a scintillating finale.

70'

highlight

Well, what contrasting fortunes in either half here in Rome. Lazio dominated the first half with chance after chance, and now Milan are doing the exact same in the second period. A much-needed cooling break is called by the referee, and we're in for a spellbinding final 20 minutes.

67'

Assist

Rabiot makes the right decision in laying it off, and Milan have their sights set on three points now.

67'

Goal 2-2

GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLL!!!! WE'RE ALL SQUARE! 2-2! Milan have looked unplayable at times in this second half, and Lazio have looked a shell of the side they were in the first period. Musah can send in a ball without much quality, but it somehow spills through to Rabiot, who instantly pulls it back to the edge of the box. Moreira is there again, and he rockets one into the bottom-right corner as he single-handedly drags his side level.

65'

+

Goal 2-1

GOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLL!!! MILAN PULL ONE BACK! 2-1! It was coming, and now Milan are well and truly back in this one. Lazio are so out of shape despite having a two-goal lead, and that allows Pulisic to pick it up and spot his man with too much time. Moreira comes steaming in from the left-hand side and meets the dropping ball wickedly as he thunders it through Mandas and into the back of the net.

Belahyne now goes into the book as he hauls down the advancing Cisse.

WELL SAVED! Lazio's shirts are left upfield, and Milan can hit them on the counter. Musah plays it out to Pulisic on the right, and the American strikes low and hard toward the bottom-right corner. He strikes it cleanly enough, but Mandas is there again as the goalkeeper gets down low to make the stop.

CHANCES! Milan are banging on the door now, and they feel their first goal isn't far away. Moreira has made a real difference down the left, and after he reaches the byline he can pull it back for Pulisic. The American then turns and lays it off to Chukwueze, who has deserved a goal after his performance this evening. However, the Nigerian sees his shot blocked. But that's not all she wrote – Chukwueze quickly gets on the ball again and delivers a teasing cross into the box which Pavlovic meets strongly. However, the Serbian can't pick out a corner as Mandas gathers in the centre of his goal!

54'

•

comment

Chukwueze was one of the only players in a Milan shirt who could hold his head high after that first half, and he's looking to be the main man again in the second period. After a purposeful run through the heart of the pitch, he shifts it out to Pulisic, but the American can't provide a good enough cross. It's entirely possible that the winger is feeling his way into this one, as this is his first appearance under Amorim.

52'

•

comment

Gattuso has both played for and managed AC Milan, making 335 Serie A appearances as a player between 1999 and 2012 (more than any other Rossoneri player in that period) and managing the team in 62 league games between 2017 and 2019, winning exactly half of them (W31, D19, L12). That nostalgia goes out the window when you're contracted to do a job for another team though, and he'll be wary of his side's start to this second half.

51'

•

comment

Lazio are pinned back for the moment, looking a shadow of the team they were in the first half. Pulisic goes short from a corner on the far side but is forced to recycle the ball as Milan look for a route to goal.

48'

•

comment

It's been a much more authoritative start from Milan in this second half, with that triple change clearly injecting some required energy and intent into the team. Musah wins it back well after being the one who had given it away, before it's floated into the box towards Ramos. The Portugal striker looks to make himself a nuisance, but Mandas can claim it after allowing it to bounce.

Amorim opts to make a triple change at the break, and Pulisic is back in action. The USMNT international hasn't featured in any of Milan's games so far this season, but now has 45 minutes to make a much-needed impact.

•

comment

Lazio have been well worthy of their two-goal lead, as reflected by an xG of 1.95 to their opponents' 0.45. Amorim has a huge task on his hands to get his side back into this one and will need his most talented and senior figures to stand up and be counted in the second half. The Eagles have completely flipped Opta's supercomputer pre-match probabilities on its head, as they now have an 84.8% chance of claiming all three points and extending their perfect start. As for Milan, they now have as little as a 3.2% likelihood of winning.

half_time summary

The half-time whistle sounds at the Stadio Olimpico, and it's Lazio who hold the cards as they lead Milan 2-0. In what can only be described as an enthralling first 45 minutes, both sides went for it from the get-go. In fact, the Rossoneri had the first real chance of the game as Modric's stood-up cross was deflected into the path of the lively Chukwueze to head, but his effort was parried away without too much concern. Zaccagni then came forward for the hosts just moments later as his right-footed curler was well saved by Maignan, and that was a sign of things to come from Gattuso's side. Inside 10 minutes, Lazio hit the front following a wonderful team move. Tavares strode through midfield to free up Zaccagni, with the Italian able to slide one to the back post for Cancellieri to sneak in and break the deadlock. Zaccagni then looked to add a goal to go with his assist but was denied at point-blank range before former Inter man Frattesi put one wide. Just minutes before the break, Noslin doubled the lead for the Eagles in rather unorthodox fashion – his initial strike crashed against the crossbar before he eventually bundled it in past Maignan.

highlight

NOT FAR AWAY! Modric does indeed tease in a better ball on this occasion, and after Ramos can flick it on at the near post, defender Gila swivels to hit it from the six-yard line, only for it to drop straight down the throat of Mandas, who breathes a sigh of relief as he claims it.

44'

•

comment

Amorim's side keep possession of the ball, and Loftus-Cheek rather angrily looks to strike at goal. It takes a wicked deflection off Zaccagni before drifting out for a corner on the same side as the last. Let's see if Modric's delivery is any better this time...

43'

•

comment

Milan win themselves a corner on the near side, but Modric's delivery is far from his best as it loops up into the authoritative gloves of Mandas.

41'

•

comment

Milan have lost at least one of their first four Serie A matches in each of the previous three seasons. That trend looks like it could be extended here this evening, with Lazio looking the far more threatening side going forward and with a two-goal cushion to show for it.

39'

+

Goal 2-0

GOOOOOOAAAAALLLL!!! LAZIO HAVE A SECOND! 2-0! We just mentioned how Tavares has caught the eye going forward, and he does the same here again as he tangles up Gila before releasing Taylor down the left-hand side. The ball is slid into the corridor of uncertainty, and after ricocheting off the crossbar following Noslin's close-range effort, it eventually bundles over the line at the second bite of the cherry.

37'

•

comment

While Tavares has been eye-catching going forward, he's having some trouble keeping Chukwueze quiet. The Milan wing-back can cut onto his left and whip one in towards Pavlovic, who is high up the pitch in the box, but the Serbian can only fire his header up over the crossbar.

35'

•

comment

You sense if Milan get back into this one, Chukwueze will have a lot to say about it. The Nigerian is really trying to drag his side forward, and after showcasing some dazzling footwork, can send an outside-of-the-boot pass forward for Ramos. The Rossoneri's record signing can't latch onto it, though, as it's shepherded back to Mandas, but it's better from Amorim's side.

33'

•

comment

Frattesi is proving to be a thorn in Milan's side, with his runs from midfield causing real issues. Tavares can tease one in for the Italian, who gets inventive as he tries to sneak it inside the near post but only manages to ruffle the side netting.

31'

•

comment

Lazio have won their first three Serie A matches this season; previously, they had only managed this in the 1974-75 campaign (drawing their fourth game) and in 2012-13 (losing their fourth game). As it stands, they'll be making it four from four, and Gattuso could scarcely have asked for a better start to life in Rome.

29'

•

highlight

WIDE! Lazio continue to turn the screw here, and former Inter man Frattesi nearly gets in on the act. The midfielder gains possession of the ball following a break in midfield, and he can run towards goal under pressure. The angle is always against him, but he does well to almost find the bottom-right corner before eventually spinning wide of the frame of the goal.

27'

•

comment

The ball is back rolling after that stoppage for the cooling period, which gave both sides a chance to listen to some instructions from their managers. The temperature has been in and around 30 degrees Celsius in Rome today, so it was certainly beneficial for the players to get that break.

25'

•

highlight

Well, if that pause for the injury issue wasn't going to take anything away from an otherwise brilliant game, this cooling break certainly might. The referee signals for the scheduled break in play, and that's greeted by whistles from the fans, who clearly didn't want this one to stop.

23'

•

comment

Zaccagni and Maignan are both fine to continue, which is always pleasant to see, and hopefully that brief stoppage doesn't take any momentum away from this thrilling encounter.

21'

•

highlight

CHANCE! It's more fantastic play from the hosts, and they nearly double their lead as a result of it. Noslin pulls it back for Frattesi on the edge of the box, and after allowing it to roll through his legs, Zaccagni receives it from point-blank range as Maignan makes the stop. Both players end up needing treatment as the referee quickly halts play, but this one shows no signs of letting up.

19'

•

comment

Mandas loses the ball cheaply inside his own penalty box as he tries to play out from the back, but Milan can't make the most of it. As Ramos looks to receive it on the swivel, Belahyane can poke it behind his own goal for a corner and Lazio are let off the hook.

17'

•

comment

Chukwueze looks lively and full of vigour down the right flank for Milan, and after looking as though he'd lost the ball, manages to get a shot off. His left-footed effort had plenty of venom on it, but was always rising, and goalkeeper Mandas can only watch as it sails over.

15'

•

comment

Amorim's side are just trying to establish a foothold in this one now after a frenetic start which has left them with a one-goal deficit. Milan will fancy their chances of pegging things level, though, with the abundance of quality not only on the pitch but also on the bench if needed.

12'

•

comment

Lazio have won two of their last three Serie A matches against Milan (L1), as many as they had in their previous 10 encounters (D1, L7). The Biancocelesti have not won two consecutive league games against the Rossoneri since 2012, but that could all change here this evening as they hold an early lead.

Assist

Zaccagni does excellently to pick out his man to register an assist, but Tavares is just as worthy of the accolade after his bursting run.

Goal 1-0

GOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLL!!!! LAZIO LEAD INSIDE 10 MINUTES! 1-0! It's fantastic play all round from Gattuso's side, and it all starts with Tavares' driving run through midfield. The Portuguese left-back shrugs off Loftus-Cheek before finding Zaccagni on the left-hand side. With just a touch or two, the Italian lays one across the face of goal for countryman Cancellieri to smash home at the back post.

7'

comment

The pace isn't letting up just yet, and this time it's Noslin who gets on the end of a cross from the right flank, but can only direct a tame left-footed effort into the grateful gloves of the busy Maignan.

5'

•

highlight

MAIGNAN MAKES THE STOP! The end-to-end theme continues in this one as Lazio come close after neat play on the counter. Taylor slides Zaccagni in just inside the left side of the box, and the Italian opens up his body as he looks to find the bottom-right corner. Maignan is alert though, and reads the trajectory well to make the save.

3'

•

highlight

SAVED! Both sides are keen to get off on the right foot, and this time it's Milan who come forward through Modric. The Croatian midfielder stands one up from the left side, and Chukwueze can throw himself at it as he sees his header palmed away by Mandas. This one's being played at an extremely fast tempo, and it's making for great viewing for the neutral!

comment

There's an electric atmosphere inside the stadium for this clash between two of Serie A's finest, and it's Lazio who look to make the first move. Provstgaard makes a run from deep into the Milan box, but just sees the ball run over the byline before he can cross into the gloves of Maignan.

comment

Both sets of players take to the pitch, which means kick-off is imminent. Before we get going, though, here are the pre-match projections from Opta's all-knowing supercomputer. Visitors Milan are 44.7% favourites to collect all three points, while Lazio are backed to maintain their perfect start 27.2% of the time. Both sides will remain unbeaten if the match ends in a draw, and that has a 28.2% chance of happening.

Milan also make three alterations, with Amorim calling upon Cisse and Loftus-Cheek to support record signing Ramos at the top end of the pitch, while Chukwueze is deployed in the right-sided wing-back role. Moreira, Musah and Saelemaekers all drop to the bench.

comment

After taking over this summer, Ruben Amorim has made a steady start to life in Italian football, with Milan sitting on seven points after three matches. Following back-to-back wins to open the campaign, the Rossoneri were denied another three points at Juventus, conceding a stoppage-time equaliser as the match finished level. Amorim could, in fact, become the first Milan manager to win three of his first four Serie A matches since Fatih Terim in 2001 – though that record didn't exactly bode well for the Turkish boss, who was sacked just eight games later.

•

comment

Despite suffering a shock home defeat to Serie B's Mantova in his first competitive match in charge of Lazio in the Coppa Italia, Gennaro Gattuso has galvanised his side brilliantly, and they remain perfect in Serie A after three games. Victories over Bologna, Genoa and Udinese may give the Eagles hope of climbing higher up the table after their ninth-placed finish last term, but they should proceed with caution, having won each of those three games by only a single goal.
