Lazio Roma drew 2:2 with AC Milan in the third round of Serie A. The team from the city of fashion is still waiting for a league win this season.
Not even five minutes had passed when the first interesting moment of the match came. Strahinja Pavlović had to perform a sacrificial block that prevented Boulay Dio from opening the scoring. A few minutes later, Pavlovic became the hero again, this time on the other side. The Serbian stopper perfectly found the cross from Christian Pulisic’s corner kick and headed it into the net.
Milan had the upper hand throughout the half and tried to capitalize on it, but Youssouf Fofana’s effort went wide. Filippo Terracciano got another great opportunity. He looked set to sweep the ball into the net after Samuel Chukwueze found him unmarked on the edge of the penalty area, but his effort went inches over the bar.
AC’s worst fears were realized after an hour of play. Nuno Tavares broke through on the left, kept his composure and presented the ball to Taty Castellanos, who only had to tap the ball into the empty net. At that moment, the visitors’ game was falling apart and the Aquilotti soon completed the comeback. It was Tavares again who went forward on the left. In almost the same way, he presented the ball to Boulay Dia, who swept it into the goal.
However, there was another twist shortly after as the Rossoneri struck through Rafael Lea to round off a superb team effort. Both teams tried to take the match to their side, but neither of them could make it, so both teams had to settle for a point. It is a very unpleasant loss for AC Milan, as they have only two points after three rounds.
