Milan Erase Two-Goal Deficit at Lazio Thanks to Moreira Double
(MENAFN) AC Milan clawed back from two goals down to snatch a 2-2 draw at Lazio in Serie A on Saturday, with substitute Diego Moreira netting twice after the break to rescue a point.
Lazio, unbeaten through three wins in as many games coming in, controlled the first half and struck in the 10th minute. Nuno Tavares carried the ball through midfield before feeding Mattia Zaccagni on the left, who squared a low cross for Matteo Cancellieri to tap home at the far post.
The hosts kept the pressure on, with Mike Maignan stopping Zaccagni from close range and Davide Frattesi firing just off target. Lazio doubled their lead in the 39th minute when another move down the left saw Tijjani Noslin's close-range shot cannon off the crossbar before trickling over the line to make it 2-0.
At halftime, Milan boss Ruben Amorim rolled the dice with three substitutions, sending on Moreira and Christian Pulisic as the visitors seized control after the restart.
Moreira's introduction on the left flank sparked a string of Milan chances, and the breakthrough came in the 65th minute — Pulisic found Moreira arriving into space, and the substitute drilled a powerful finish past Christos Mandas to halve the deficit. Two minutes later, Moreira struck again, latching onto a pullback from Adrien Rabiot at the edge of the box and slotting into the bottom corner to complete the comeback.
Milan continued to press as Lazio struggled to recapture their first-half form, pushing for a winner late on, but the hosts held firm to salvage a share of the points.
The result snaps Lazio's perfect start to the season, leaving them on 10 points from four matches, while Milan stay unbeaten on eight points.
