Milan's comeback was sparked by the introduction of Christian Pulisic in the 59th minute, who made his season debut for the club. Pulisic stood up a cross from the right for Diego Moreira, who scored his first Serie A goal in the 65th minute. The Argentine then doubled his tally 120 seconds later, drilling in first-time from the edge of the area after Yunus Musah won back the ball in midfield and crossed for Adrien Rabiot to lay off.

The Lazio goal had been coming, with Matteo Cancellieri scoring the opening goal for the Aquile in the 10th minute. Tijjani Noslin then added a second for Lazio in the 39th minute, poking the finish straight at Mike Maignan from a Romano Floriani Mussolini cross. The Lazio goal had been chaotic, as Kenneth Taylor rolled across from the left for Noslin, it bounced off the underside of the crossbar, and then a combination of the attempted Koni De Winter clearance and Noslin's head saw it bundled over the line from a yard.

The result means that Lazio's 100 per cent Serie A record is now under threat, while Milan have picked up their first point of the season. The Rossoneri still missed Matteo Gabbia, but Adrien Rabiot dropped into midfield for Yunus Musah after being used as a trequartista for the 1-1 draw at Juventus.
