Overview
- Rafael Leão scored in the 51st minute to give AC Milan a 1-0 home win over Lazio, preserved by Mike Maignan’s early save and a late VAR review that upheld no penalty.
- Referee Giuseppe Collu sent off the home coach for dissent during added time, and Milan will remain top unless Roma beat Napoli or the champions win by two goals or more.
- Kenan Yildiz struck twice (27', 45+1') to overturn Sebastiano Esposito’s opener as Juventus beat Cagliari 2-1, delivering Luciano Spalletti his first home league win.
- Dusan Vlahovic left the Juventus match in the first half with a muscular problem after a saved effort, with the severity yet to be determined.
- Juventus sit seventh on 23 points, five behind leaders Milan, as the Roma–Napoli clash on Sunday stands to reshape the early title picture.
