"Going into Sunday night's game at the Stadio Olimpico, the Rossoneri had won eight of the 12 'direct clashes' played so far this season, with the other four being draws. The list of results read as follows: 1-0 win vs. Bologna, 2-1 win vs. Napoli, 0-0 draw vs. Juventus, 2-1 win vs. Fiorentina, 1-1 draw vs. Atalanta, 1-0 win vs. Roma, 0-1 win vs. Inter, 1-0 win vs. Lazio."
"However, last night's game against Lazio produced the first blot on the record as the Rossoneri fell to a 1-0 defeat. Gustav Isaksen got the only goal of the game inside the first half, catching Milan cold on the break and finishing past Mike Maignan."
"It is a loss at the most damaging time for Allegri's side too, because it means that Inter are now eight points clear at the top, whereas with a win in the capital it would have been just five."
AC Milan under Massimiliano Allegri had established an impressive record in matches against teams competing for European places this season, winning eight of twelve direct clashes with four draws. However, this streak was broken in a match against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico, where Gustav Isaksen scored in the first half to secure a 1-0 victory for the home side. The loss proved particularly costly for Milan's title ambitions, as it allowed Inter to extend their lead at the top of the table to eight points. Had Milan won, the gap would have been reduced to just five points, making this defeat especially damaging to their championship hopes.
