"Milan's Coppa Italia drought will continue for another season and will hit 23 years (by the final next May) after they were beaten 1-0 by Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico. The only goal of the game came 10 minutes from time as Mattia Zaccagni rose to head in a corner unopposed. The Rossoneri had produced the better of the chances up until that point, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Rafael Leao spurning opportunities."
"The winner is always right. Lazio won a match in which they had more difficulties than on Saturday. It was a stalemated game, and whoever scored first won: we had a chance and didn't score, then we didn't defend well on the corner. Jashari had a good game after a long time, Ricci had a good game. It's disappointing to be eliminated because we were keen, but now we have to put everything aside and focus on Torino."
Milan were beaten 1-0 by Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico as Mattia Zaccagni headed in from a corner with ten minutes remaining. Milan had the better chances earlier, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Rafael Leao missing opportunities that might have changed the outcome. Defensive lapses on set-pieces proved decisive, repeating problems seen against Cremonese and Pisa. Lazio secured some revenge for a recent league defeat and the capital’s cup frustrations continue after prior finals losses. Match assessments praised performances from Jashari and Ricci while urging improvements ahead of fixtures against Torino and Sassuolo and the Supercoppa in Saudi Arabia.
