Follow usAC Milan secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Lazio in Serie A, courtesy of Noah Okafor’s late heroics. The match took a dramatic turn when Lazio’s Luca Pellegrini received his marching orders, reducing the visitors to 10 men. Despite a resilient defensive effort, Lazio’s hopes crumbled in the 88th minute as Okafor found the back of the net.
The encounter, which lacked significant chances in the early stages, intensified after Pellegrini’s second yellow card. Both teams had opportunities to break the deadlock, with Rafael Leao having a goal disallowed for offside. Okafor’s scrappy strike finally broke the stalemate, securing a hard-fought victory for AC Milan.
In a tumultuous finale, Lazio witnessed further setbacks as Adam Marusic and Matteo Guendouzi received straight red cards in stoppage time, leaving them with only eight players on the field. The referee, Marco Di Bello, had to intervene as tensions escalated between the two squads at the final whistle.
The win halted Milan’s three-match winless streak and propelled them one point behind Juventus in third place. On the other hand, Lazio finds themselves in ninth position after enduring their third defeat in four games.
