"AC Milan secured all three points in their game against Lazio last night, despite not creating that many chances throughout the game. As we have seen before, they needed just one good moment to make a difference. As highlighted by today's edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (see photo below), Milan and Lazio will meet again next week, more specifically on Thursday in the Coppa Italia. It could be a heated encounter, given where they left things off yesterday."
"There were arguments all over the pitch in the dying minutes, with Massimiliano Allegri getting sent off and the referee getting surrounded by the players. In the end, however, Milan were the ones who got to celebrate in the 101st (!) minute. Indeed, the handball on Strahinja Pavlovic was deemed to be a foul instead of a penalty, with Milan dodging a penalty that most likely would have turned the win into a draw. Round two between the teams is in four days."
AC Milan won 1-0 against Lazio thanks to a decisive late moment in the 101st minute. Milan and Lazio will meet again in the Coppa Italia on Thursday amid continuing tensions after on-pitch arguments and Massimiliano Allegri's sending-off. The referee was surrounded by players in the dying minutes, and a handball on Strahinja Pavlovic was judged a foul rather than a penalty, allowing Milan to avoid a likely equalizer. Milan rose to the top of the standings temporarily, recorded a seventh clean sheet and extended a 12-match unbeaten run. Rafael Leao scored early in the second half, and Lazio forced an early save from Mike Maignan.
