by Nicola Iannello 04 July 2020 AC Milan cuts Lazio's scudetto ambitions. In the evening advance of the 30th day of Serie A, the Rossoneri pass 3-0 at the Olimpico and deliver a good slice of the title to Juventus, who after the afternoon victory in the derby remains 7 points ahead of the biancocelesti. Simone Inzaghi's team has the hope of reaching the direct clash with the Bianconeri on 20 July with a less heavy delay. Reinforce the European aspirations of the Devil, who resumes his march after the draw in Ferrara.

Absent by disqualification of Immobile and Caicedo, Simone Inzaghi lacks 37 of the 66 goals scored overall; so its 3-5-2: Strakosha; Patric, Acerbi, Radu; Lazzari, Parolo, Leiva, Milinković-Savić, Jony; Luis Alberto and Correa the unprecedented attacking couple. Pegs with 4-4-1-1: Donnarumma; Conti, Kjaer, Romagnoli, Theo Hernandez; Saelemaekers, Kessié, Bennacer, Çalhanoğlu; Bonaventura behind the returning Ibrahimovic. Calvarese referee of Teramo.

In the first quarter of an hour Milan dribble better, but the goalkeepers stand by. At 20 'great chance for Lazio with a Jony gallop on the left, on the low ball in the middle Correa does not find the impact; Milan can't get out, Romagnoli pushes the same white-and-blue Argentine out of the area, but Milinković-Savić's free kick is easy prey for Donnarumma. The Rossoneri started dribbling tightly and Çalhanoğlu in the 23rd minute fired a shot from the edge which the slight deviation from Parolo made Strakosha unmistakable. At 31 'goal canceled to Ibrahimovic for offside. At 33 'penalty for Milan: Saelemaekers crosses, Radu touches with his arm, Ibra does not kick very well but Strakosha is unlucky: the ball passes under the body (34'). At 38 'forced change for Milan: Çalhanoğlu accuses a problem in the calf and gives way to Paquetà. In recovery, nice maneuver of the hosts who send Luis Alberto to the shot from the edge, just outside.

Lazio return to the field with Adekanye for Leiva, Milan with Rebić for Ibrahimovic. At 49 'the 21 year old Nigerian naturalized Dutch sends Correa to the shot, Donnarumma controls. On the reversal of face, insidious conclusion of Kessié from the edge, Strakosha blocks. At 53 'great counterattack Lazio, but Lazzari's goal was canceled for offside. At 55 'double change of Inzaghi: Jordan Lukaku for Jony and Vavro for Radu. Bonaventura's beautiful right in the 56th minute, touched the post. At 59 'the former Atalanta as a refiner sends Rebić into the goal which makes Strakosha dry with a right-footed shot. At 64 'Cataldi for Correa among the biancocelesti. At 67 'Milinković stops, Anderson enters. Change Milan. Krunić for Bonaventura (71 '), Calabria for Conti (72'). At 80 'Hernandez devours poker kicking off face to face with Strakosha. At 86 'last replacement of Pioli: the former Lazio Biglia takes over Kessié. At 89 'Vavro kicks over the crossbar from a good position. Milan party at the Olimpico.
