Overview
- Mattia Zaccagni scored in the 80th minute from a Nuno Tavares corner to seal a 1-0 win at the Stadio Olimpico and knock out last season’s finalists.
- Reports questioned whether the corner should have been given, noting the ball appeared to deflect off Lazio’s Alessio Romagnoli before going out.
- Christian Pulisic returned from a muscle issue as a late substitute for Milan and forced a save in stoppage time but could not find an equaliser.
- Summer signing Ardon Jashari made his first start since an August fibula fracture, with Milan traveling without Youssouf Fofana, Santiago Gimenez and Zachary Athekame.
- Lazio advance to face Bologna, who beat Parma 2-1 thanks to an 89th-minute Santiago Castro header, with Ciro Immobile making his comeback cameo for the holders.
