Diego Moreira brace rescues draw for AC Milan at Lazio

Diego Moreira's brace proved crucial as AC Milan came from behind to draw 2-2 with Lazio in Serie A. The Italian side opened the scoring through Matteo Cancellieri and Tijjani Noslin, taking a 2-0 lead in the first half. However, they were unable to maintain their dominance, ultimately conceding a draw in their first pointless league match of the season.

At halftime, Ruben Amorim made a triple substitution that transformed Milan's second-half performance. The introduction of Moreira, Christian Pulisic, and Yunus Musah shifted the balance significantly. In the 65th minute, Moreira converted a tight-angle cross from Pulisic with a left-footed volley. Two minutes later, he added a second goal by fizzing in a low strike from the edge of the box. Despite the late pressure from Lazio, AC Milan's turnaround was enough to secure a crucial draw in the match.
