Match Events

17' Injured Milinkovic-Savic leaves the pitch in tears

Milinkovic-Savic is now down and receiving medical attention after an awkward slide saw his knee bend at an odd ankle.

Milinkovic-Savic is indeed withdrawn as Parolo comes on to replace him in central midfield.

29' CHANCE! Calabria's shot saved

There's a loose ball outside the Lazio penalty area that Calabria pounces on before unleashing a curling-left footed effort that forced a diving save from Strakosha! Great strike, great save!

42' INJURY! Calabria replaced by Conti

Calabria is down on the pitch and receiving treatment. His foot was stepped on earlier in the half and is now taken off for Conti. 

47' CLOSE! Bastos' shot wide out

51' NICE SHOT! Lucas' effort saved by Reina

Immobile pushes down the right wing and then cuts a great pass back to Lucas at the top of the box where the Brazilian launched a strike at goal... forcing a diving save from Reina!

58' GOAL! Milan 0-1 Lazio (Correa)

From the Milan corner, the visitors broke at pace and wound up with a three on two. Immobile drifted inside and then played the ball to Correa in space who kept his cool, and slotted the ball under a charging Reina. Brilliant move that!

Immobile did well to push the pace on the counter attack, and with two options, picked the perfect one with a perfectly weighted ball into the path of Correa who finished smartly to give Lazio the lead!

77' OFFSIDE! Cutrone's goal disallowed

Milan have the ball in the net... but it's ruled offside! Suso whipped in a perfect cross to Cutrone who headed it into the back of the net only to see the flag raised during the celebrations.

Match Report

The two sides launched gung-ho into a full blooded contest and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic hobbled off in some pain having gone over awkwardly on his ankle, before team-mate Ciro Immobile turned smartly on the edge of the box and drilled a low shot into Reina's midriff.

At the other end Lucas Leiva's poor clearance allowed Calabria to rattle a dangerous bouncing effort towards goal that Thomas Strakosha had to dive to parry around the post.

Calabria then limped out of the game after pulling up with a muscle strain and both Bastos and Correa missed golden chances for Lazio towards the end of a frenetic first half.

Lucas sent a wonderful effort curling towards goal as Lazio pressed early in the second half but Reina made an equally spectacular save before Bastos headed wide from the ensuing corner.

The opener came from a blistering counter-attack, Immobile bursting over the half-way line and feeding Correa who bore down on goal before nutmegging Reina with a nonchalant finish.

Substitute Patrick Cutrone thought he had headed an equaliser 15 minutes from time but an offside flag was correctly raised against him.

Felipe Caicedo had a penalty appeal waved away at the other end after he was felled by Reina, but one goal proved to be enough for Lazio.
