"Milan went into the game with a simple mission on paper: to win and cut the gap to Inter down to five points, after they drew with Atalanta on Saturday at San Siro. Had the Rossoneri done their bit, the margin would have gone from 10 points before the derby to half of that inside a week."
"It means that Inter have actually gained ground, with the gap up to eight. It will take a miracle now to engineer a comeback in the title race now, and with Como, Juventus and Napoli all winning, the chasing pack got closer."
"As we've come to realise with the left-back he struggles to find continuity which is one of the reasons why Davide Bartesaghi made that starting spot his throughout the season. It was no different against Lazio where Estupiñán was easily the flop of the game as he did miserably on the goal."
AC Milan suffered a defeat to Lazio, with Gustav Isaksen scoring the only goal in the first half. Milan dominated territorially in the second half but could not break through Lazio's defensive setup. The loss prevented Milan from cutting Inter's lead to five points; instead, the gap expanded to eight points. Inter drew with Atalanta, gaining ground in the title race. Simultaneously, Como, Juventus, and Napoli all won, bringing the chasing pack closer. Pervis Estupiñán's poor performance at left-back, including a defensive error on the goal, highlighted Milan's struggles. The result effectively ended Milan's realistic comeback hopes in the Scudetto race.
