The Milan of Paulo Fosenca still not leaving. Now the Portuguese coach left Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao looking for a coup de effect after the defeat at Parma, but, after advancing on the scoreboard at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, he had to use himself. Leo so that with his goal he saved a draw against Lazio (2-2). Two points in the first three days sums up the ‘Rossoneri”s disappointing start to Serie A.
The fight started at Strahinja Pavlovic as the protagonist. The Serbian central defender, Milan’s reinforcement for this season, not only avoided the goal of Boulaye Dia after a false start Mike Maignan, but six minutes later, in the 8th minute, he opened the scoring by heading in a corner which was taken Christian Pulisic.
Milan in control in the first half
After 0-1, Milan controlled the match as they wanted, without creating clear chances to extend their advantage, but also did not suffer because a very flat Lazio and no ideas did not cause any problems in the first half.
Marco Baroni He tried to react at half-time by switching to his right wing, retreating Manuel Lazzarri and Loum Tchaouna and giving entry to Adam Marusic and Gustav Isaksen. Lazio seemed to come back with renewed vigor but as the minutes ticked by they continued to show themselves incapable of posing a threat.
Nuno Tavares drove Emerson crazy and scored two goals
However, at game time everything changed in the blink of an eye through an unexpected hero. Nuno Tavares, on loan from Arsenal, he made a cautious debut at Lazio but within four minutes he was off twice Emerson Royal on the left wing and he first put the ball in the counterattack to Daddy Castellanos to equalize (62′) and shortly after helped from the baseline to Sun (66′). They both just pushed the ball into the net.
Paulo Fosenca introduced four changes at once in the 70th minute and made, among others, to Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao. And in the first intervention of the Portuguese, in a quick collective action on the counter, he achieved 2-2 by shooting. Ivan Provedel after receiving from the debutant Tammy Abraham who also just entered (72′).
The 2-2 was unshaken despite attempts by both teams. Lazio remains in the middle of the table with 4 points and Milan, with 2, continues without leaving before the break of the national team.
