What happened. Lazio led 2-0 at half-time through Matteo Cancellieri and Tijjani Noslin, but Milan's triple substitution sparked a comeback as Diego Moreira scored twice in 120 seconds to level. It was the first brace of Moreira's club career, in just his second appearance.

• Moreira's double came in his second Milan appearance after a poor debut against Juventus.
• Christian Pulisic impressed on his season debut after a World Cup microfracture.
• It is Milan's second consecutive Serie A draw.

“In the first half we were honestly disastrous. We were not the Milan that we want to be.”

— Mario Gila

Milan must fix their first-half displays, with Moreira's role still unclear ahead of the next game.
