Milan at this point in the season trying to return to the fight for the European Cup places, and Lazio tries not to lag behind Napoli and Juventus. Gattuso entrusted the place on the spearhead of the attack to the young Coutron, and the mentor of the guests assigned the appropriate role to Caicedo. From the first minutes Milan took advantage and gained success after a third of the half. Patrick Coutrone opened the scoring with a header after Hakan Chalkhanoglu filed with a free kick. 1: 0.

The Romans responded rather quickly. Adam Marousic received the ball in the penalty area, shifted it under his left foot and sent him to the far corner of the gate. 1: 1. Territorial advantage was on the side of the team Gattuso, but the attacks of the guests looked very acute. However, the next goal was scored in the gate of Thomas Strakosi. Giacomo Bonaventura burst into the penalty area and struck his head led his team forward. 2: 1.

Goal to the locker room was "eagles", so during the break the team was waiting for a serious conversation with the coach. In the opening of the second half, Lucas Leiva gave way to the field of Felipe Anderson, which indicated the change of the vector of the game to a more attacking. The guests were able to create several dangerous moments, but both Milinkovich-Savic's blows did not work well - Romagnoli and Donnarumma were excellent in duels against the Serbs.

Simone Inzaghi made some more substitutions, trying to revive the game of his team in the attack. This intensified the onslaught of the guests, but the result did not bring. Milan, in turn, in an attack to escape did not hurry much and still relied on a reliable game of defense. "The Devils" were able to cope with the pressure, so the final whistle recorded the victory of the hosts, who thus rose to seventh place.
