"Maignan saves, Leao scores. Okay, the formula is right and Milan are top of the Serie A standings, awaiting Roma-Napoli. Substance is what counts, and Allegri can certainly be satisfied, even if, looking at the form, I think there are some things to highlight. Indeed, Milan beat Lazio with too much difficulty: aside from the final thrills over the possible penalty incident that the referee ultimately denied, I saw a team that was too passive in the first half of the match."
"For 20-25 minutes in the first half, Lazio controlled the match, and without Maignan's miracle, the evening could have turned out differently. I think Milan should always dominate at San Siro. Given their characteristics, I imagined Sarri's team could cause problems for Milan, with their tight passing and ability to close down all spaces when not in possession, but the Rossoneri's attitude was far too resigned."
Milan beat Lazio but struggled to create chances in the first half and required a single decisive moment — Maignan's save and Rafael Leao's goal — to secure the win. The team were too passive for 20–25 minutes, allowing Lazio to control the match and nearly change the outcome. Milan should dominate at San Siro but showed a resigned attitude against Lazio's tight passing and space-closing tactics. Midfield errors, notably an unusually error-prone Luka Modric, hindered ball recovery. Milan top the Serie A standings and will meet Lazio again in the Coppa Italia.
