Lazio breaking the tabu previously won only 2 times against AC Milan in the last 33 games in Serie A both in 2012. Party at the Olimpico is for Lazio who were down by a goal reverting the result to win the game in front of a poor Milan. Stats seeing Lazio undefeated in the last 3 games at the Olimpico against AC Milan seeing 2 wins and 2 draws. AC Milan not winning in the last 4 games having 2 draws and 2 lost.
Before the game, there are 72 precedents between Lazio vs AC Milan at the Olimpico Stadium. Stats in favor of AC Milan with 20 wins, Lazio 18 wins, and 34 draws. Milan celebrating today the anniversary of founder Herbert Kilpin born in Nottingham 145 years ago!
Things starting bad for Lazio at the Olimpico Stadium. An error by defender Dusan Basta losing ball control while AC Milan forward Jeremy Menez takes advantage and voila’ there you go a left footed shot defeating Lazio goalkeeper Federico Marchetti in the bottom right corner. This is the 10th goal this season for Menez.
Lazio equalizing the score in the 47th minute with Marco Parolo defeating AC Milan goalkeeper Diego Lopez.
A moment of inspiration for Lazio as four minutes after there it is Lazio in the lead. In the 51st minute it is forward Miroslav Klose to boost the morale of the team by breaking the draw defeating goalkeeper Diego Lopez with a right footed shot in the bottom right corner.
It’s over for AC Milan totally unrecognizable. In the 81st minute the final dagger is by Marco Parolo scoring the third goal of the match. Parolo defeating goalkeeper Diego Lopez with a right footed shot in the bottom left corner. The assist is by forward Filip Djordjevic.
Making matters worst, AC Milan remaining with 10 players. Referee Paolo Mazzoleni giving a red card to defender Philippe Mexes after fighting with Lazio Captain Stefano Mauri in the 92nd minute. Mazzoleni giving a yellow card to Mauri. Mexes holding Mauri by his neck, just incredible. It is more a sense of frustration! It’s a bad attitude by Mexes and the red is well deserved.
Here is LAZIO official starting lineup by coach Stefano Pioli:
