"Last night's victory was a VAR-free one, snatched thanks to a late Mattia Zaccagni goal, when penalties were looming. Following a Tavares corner, the Rossoneri's zonal marking let them down as the winger ghosted in and glanced a header past Mike Maignan. Milan are out of the Coppa Italia, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Now the team has one big target: the Scudetto."
"At the Olimpico, a see-saw match unfolded. A lot of Lazio in the first half, a lot of Milan for half an hour in the second. Everything came down to the Zaccagni goal, but if Leao hadn't missed a huge chance shortly before, we'd be talking about a different story. This defeat for Milan is the result of a certain amount of sloppiness, a lack of determination in front of both goals."
AC Milan were eliminated from the Coppa Italia after a 1-0 defeat by Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico, decided by Mattia Zaccagni's late header. The winning goal followed a Tavares corner and exploited Milan's zonal marking breakdown, beating goalkeeper Mike Maignan. The match featured a dominant Lazio first half and a stronger Milan period in the second, with Leao missing a major chance before the goal. The defeat revealed sloppiness and a lack of determination in front of goal. The absence of Luka Modric changed Milan's attacking rhythm, highlighting the team's dependence on his creativity. The exit shifts Milan's focus toward the Scudetto.
