Before the clash between AS Roma and Napoli on Sunday, AC Milan (2nd) had the opportunity to take the lead in Serie A this Saturday. For this, Massimiliano Allegri’s men had to win at San Siro against Lazio (8th). After an unimpressive first half, where Mike Maignan stood out again by magnificently stopping Mario Gila’s header (2nd), the Rossoneri finally hit the mark in the second act.

Following a nice collective movement on the right side, Tomori found Rafael Leão after a first-intention cross. The Portuguese international (43 caps) then pushed the ball into the back of Ivan Provedel’s net for the opener (1-0.51). The end of the match was subsequently unbreathable for the Milanese of Allegri, who received a red card for having protested against the referee who wanted to see a possible handball from Pavlovic in the area. (90th+7). Finally, after long minutes of waiting, Giuseppe Collu felt that the Serb was not at fault. AC Milan was hot, but therefore came away with an eighth victory in 13 league matches. The Milanese are provisionally leaders, before the end of this 13th day. Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio is 8th.
