The Last Triumph of Lazio at San Siro against Milan
The last triumph of Lazio at San Siro against Milan dates back to 1989, in a match decided by an own goal from Paolo Maldini, and the goal from a tireless Correa in the 83rd minute broke the team's drought led by Simone Inzaghi, who now occupies Champions League spots.
It was an intense match, with back and forth action and plenty of chances. Ciro Immobile extended his good form with a fantastic header goal in the 25th minute, but an own goal by Angolan Bartolomeu Jacinto Quissanga Bastos (m.28) sent both teams into halftime with a 1-1 draw.
Milan played with pride and had opportunities to take the lead in the second half, but the technical superiority of Lazio, led by Spanish Luis Alberto and Correa, ended up rewarding the visitors.
Even though Inzaghi substituted Ciro Immobile and Serbian Sergej Milinkovic-Savic at the one-hour mark and lost Ecuadorian Caicedo, who had replaced Immobile, due to a shoulder injury.
On a ball recovered in midfield, Luis Alberto offered Correa a through pass that the Argentine took advantage of to beat goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma with his right foot and propel Lazio to fourth place.
It was another setback for Milan, who is currently in eleventh place, having only won four out of eleven matches this year, and will visit the league-leaders Juventus this Sunday at the Allianz Stadium.
