Milan Edge Lazio 1-0 with Leao Strike to Claim Serie A Top Spot
Rafael Leao’s early second-half goal helped AC Milan reach 28 points and take provisional Serie A lead after a late VAR penalty review was denied.
- On Nov 29, AC Milan moved provisionally top of Serie A with a 1-0 home win over Lazio, thanks to Rafael Leao's goal six minutes into the second half.
- Milan came out with renewed vigour after the break as a build-up released Fikayo Tomori down the right, with Tiemoue Fofana credited for the pass that freed him.
- Maignan's early brilliance included a fingertip save inside two minutes from Mario Gila, while Lazio goalkeeper Ivan Provedel made a sharp stop preventing Leao's second goal.
- Referee Giuseppe Collu ruled out a late penalty as Strahinja Pavlovic was judged fouled first, while Max Allegri, AC Milan manager, and Marco Ianni, Lazio assistant manager, were both dismissed for dissent.
- The result tightens the Serie A title race with AS Roma and Napoli, and the match finished soon afterwards following nearly 14 minutes of stoppage time.
