Moreira leads AC Milan fightback in Lazio draw
Diego Moreira scored twice as AC Milan recovered from two goals down to hold early season Serie A pace-setters Lazio to a 2-2 draw.
AC Milan secured a 2-2 draw with Lazio in a Serie A match held in Rome on Saturday, after Belgian winger Diego Moreira scored twice for the hosts. Moreira came on as a substitute at halftime and scored twice, bringing the score to 2-2 by the end of the game. Lazio took the lead with two goals from Matteo Cancellieri and Tijjani Noslin, both early in the first half.
Despite losing their perfect start to the season, Gennaro Gattuso's side climbed to the top of the table with the draw. Amorim's side were criticized for their lethargy and lack of energy in the first half, but after the break, they were "a totally different team". Cancellieri gave Milan an early lead with a goal in the 10th minute, and Noslin doubled the advantage with a close-range finish after 39 minutes.
Amorim made three substitutions at halftime, including bringing on Moreira, who scored both of Milan's goals in the second half.
