MEMORABLE MOMENT: Milan-Lazio. Season 2004/2005. Round 23.
Riding high and chasing leaders Juve, the Rossoneri hosted Lazio at the San Siro for a testing fixture. The visitors broke the deadlock on 56 minutes courtesy of a Massimo Oddo penalty, sparking the Rossoneri into life, and on 72 minutes Shevchenko equalised with a free-kick from 30 metres out. Buoyed by Sheva’s goal, Milan pushed for a second, and deep into stoppages, former Lazio man Hernan Crespo was in the right place to net the winner and send the San Siro wild.
