Milan waste no time pushing bodies forward, with Leão immediately drifting inside to test Lazio’s defensive shape. Bennacer takes charge in midfield, zipping an early diagonal toward the right flank as San Siro roars them on.

Milan push down the wings again, searching for a gap but Lazio’s shape stays tight. The visitors press high, trying to squeeze a mistake out of Milan’s back line.

Lazio ease off after their sharp start, holding the ball without real threat. Milan still look sloppy in the final third, with loose touches and imprecise passes stalling their attacks.

The tempo drops again as both sides struggle to find rhythm. Play keeps breaking up in midfield, and the early intent from either team has fizzled out, leaving the game flat and fragmented.

Lazio’s quick bursts nearly break Milan twice, but Maignan reacts sharply to keep them out. Milan, meanwhile, keep misplacing passes and struggling to build anything meaningful.

A flat first half comes to an end, marked by sloppy passing and little cutting edge from either side. Lazio had the only real threat early on, denied by a sharp Maignan save, but chances dried up quickly after. Milan never found rhythm in attack, and the game drifted into a scrappy, mistake-filled battle with neither keeper troubled again. Both teams will need a serious reset at the break.

The second half kicks off at San Siro. Milan and Lazio look to raise the tempo after a poor first half, with both sides needing sharper passing and more attacking intent.

A brilliant Milan move breaks the deadlock. Tomori bursts down the right and fires the perfect ball into the box, where Leão arrives unmarked to slot it home with ease. Fofana deserves credit too for the incisive pass that released Tomori. Simple, sharp, and deadly from Milan, they finally make their breakthrough at San Siro.

Milan push forward more confidently after the opener but still lack composure in the final touch. Lazio offer little going the other way, showing no spark or reaction in attack.

Lazio finally threaten after an attacking change, but Maignan deals with the effort comfortably. Milan slow things down, keeping the ball and focusing more on protecting their lead than pushing forward.

Lazio try their luck from distance, but Maignan is perfectly positioned to gather it safely. Milan respond with a midfield change, looking to control the tempo and close out the match calmly.

Lazio shout for a handball, but the replays show Pavlović’s arm tight to his body with no movement toward the ball. The referee rightly waves play on.

Milan see out the match with disciplined defending and long spells of controlled possession, shutting down every Lazio route to goal. The visitors never produced a clear chance to threaten an equaliser, and Milan’s second-half structure proved enough to secure the win.
