Ankara: AC Milan fought back from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw against Lazio in Serie A on Saturday, with substitute Diego Moreira scoring twice in the second half.
According to Anadolu Agency, Lazio entered the match with a perfect record of three wins from three games and dominated the opening half, taking the lead in the 10th minute. Nuno Tavares drove through midfield before finding Mattia Zaccagni on the left, who delivered a low ball across goal for Matteo Cancellieri to finish at the back post.
The hosts continued to create opportunities, with Mike Maignan denying Zaccagni from close range before Davide Frattesi fired narrowly wide. Lazio doubled their advantage in the 39th minute when Tijjani Noslin's close-range effort struck the crossbar before crossing the line, making it 2-0.
Milan head coach Ruben Amorim made three changes at halftime, including introducing Moreira and Christian Pulisic, as the visitors began to take control after the restart. Moreira made an impact down the left, creating a series of chances, but it wasn't until the 65th minute that Milan managed to pull one back. Pulisic picked out Moreira, who fired a powerful effort past Christos Mandas to reduce the deficit.
Just two minutes later, Moreira struck again. Adrien Rabiot pulled the ball back to the edge of the penalty area, where Moreira fired into the bottom corner to complete Milan's comeback. The visitors continued to push forward as Lazio struggled to reproduce their first-half performance.
Milan increased the pressure in the closing stages in search of a winner, but Lazio held on, and the two sides shared the points. The draw ended Lazio's perfect start to the Serie A season, moving them to 10 points from four matches, while Milan remains unbeaten with eight points.
