ROMA (ITALPRESS) – La Lazio flies to the quarterfinals of Coppa Italia. The Biancocelesti beat Milan 1-0 at the Olympic Stadium in Rome and take the revenge of the defeat a few days ago in the championship.
Match blocked in the first time and revived in the second fraction by some point of the guests, which lacks the “killer istinct” in the area goals. To decide it is the head of Zaccagni (79′), who beats Maignan (also author of a couple of great interventions) on corner football of Nuno Tavares. The team of Sarri accesses the quarterfinals, where he will face Bologna, which beat 2-1 in Parma. The winner of Bologna-Lazio will face in the semifinals the winner of Atalanta-Juventus. The Milan that will be called to start again in the championship with the transfer of Turin against Baroni’s grenade.
Latium will return to the home against Bologna. First tactical time and with few occasions on both sides. Milan tries to make the game, but the phrasing of Allegri’s men is completely neutralized by the defensive castle standing from Lazio, able to make itself dangerous in counterfeit.
The only shots in the door of the first fraction are a conclusion choked by Castellanos from the limit of the rigour area and a left at the flight of Isaksen carefully rejected by Maignan. A few tears of Leao and a couple of snacks of Rabiot for redones, but too little to impress a great version of the hosts.
In the second half Milan immediately dangerous with Loftus-Cheek (51′), which sends head to side on beautiful cross of Estupinan. Always English touches the goal of the 69′ advantage, always framed by invitation of Estupinan. At 71′ Leao devours the 1-0 kicking high all only in full penalty area. A lot of opportunities that have been skipped by the Rossoneri and to take advantage is Lazio. Angle of Nuno Tavares and 79′ Zaccagni beats Maignan head for 1-0 biancoceleste. The hosts sail on the waves of enthusiasm and go close to the doubling with Noslin, bound by a careful Maignan. In the final siege Milan pushes, but Pulisic is stopped in full recovery from Mandas, who sends Lazio to the quarters of the final.
