"Following the huge win against Inter, AC Milan were hoping to clinch another three points against Lazio. It wasn't an easy clash, but the Rossoneri were victorious under the San Siro lights. All things considered, the game was fairly even and rather cagey, as both teams struggled to create many clear-cut chances. The evening could have taken a completely different turn after just two minutes, though, as Mike Maignan was forced to make a great save."
"Milan have made some questionable decisions regarding renewals in the past few seasons, acting too late in several instances, and they cannot afford to do the same with Maignan. The goalkeeper did have a questionable 2024-25 campaign, but so did the defenders who were supposed to protect him and not leave him for dead. Now, with a much better defence, the Frenchman has also been able to show his qualities."
AC Milan secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Lazio at San Siro after Rafael Leao scored in the 51st minute from Fikayo Tomori's cross. The match was fairly even and cagey, with few clear-cut chances, and Mike Maignan produced a crucial early save to keep the score level. VAR incorrectly instructed a referee review for a potential handball late on, but the referee awarded a free-kick instead of a penalty, preserving the win. Maignan's recent saves, including a penalty stop against Inter, strengthen arguments for a significant contract renewal. Matteo Gabbia's defensive performance limited Lazio's attacking threat.
