The “Red-Blacks” were not favorites in this game, but the guests quickly began to correct this fact by starting the match with active actions near the champion’s goal. Krzysztof Pentek could open the scoring in the match, the Pole was in an excellent position in the third minute, but his shot missed the goal. There were not so many scoring chances in the first half, but Pentek still managed to improve for a previously unrealized moment. Milan opened the scoring in the 39th minute, Bakayoko took advantage of a mistake by Juve’s defenders and gave a pass to the Pole, who confidently outplayed the goalkeeper – 0:1. The guests scored, but then the game gradually began to come under the control of the “zebras”.

Lazio The Eagles are heading to the fashion capital for the second time in two weeks. After winning the match against Inter (0:1), the Romans will face Milan. But the guests could have approached the Milan-Lazio match in a much better mood, but the lost points in the match against SPAL and Sassuolo forced the Blue-and-Whites to leave the top six. The home match of the last round against Sassuolo turned out to be very difficult for the hosts. The Romans got off to a good start, Adam Marusich could have scored in the fourth minute, but the Montenegrin’s shot was parried by the visitors’ goalkeeper. The Eagles controlled the game, but this was not enough, because to win you need to score goals. The hosts took this fact literally and opened the scoring at the beginning of the second half, the penalty was converted by Ciro Immobile – 1:0 in the 53rd minute. But, much to our regret for the Lazio fans, we managed to keep the winning result only for five minutes, until Rogerio equalized the score, the midfielder pushed the ball from close range into an empty net – 1:1. The continuation of the match turned out to be very exciting. The hosts dominated and put pressure on the opponent’s goal until the last minutes of the game, but the end of the match almost became tragic for them. Sassuolo players ran away to counterattack a minute before the end of normal time, Sensi gave to Domenico Berardi, and the Italian easily converted a one-on-one exit.
