Overview
- Rafael Leao decided the 13th‑round match with a close‑range finish in the 51st minute from a Fikayo Tomori cross.
- Referee Giuseppe Collu, with VAR Di Paolo and AVAR Paterna, reviewed a potential Pavlovic handball in added time but did not award a penalty due to a prior foul in the sequence.
- Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri was sent off for protesting during the review and later explained on TV what he said to the referee.
- Milan were without Christian Pulisic due to fatigue, and the victory moved them briefly into first place pending Roma–Napoli.
- Earlier, Juventus beat Cagliari 2-1 with a Yildiz brace as Dusan Vlahovic went off with a muscle issue, and Milan and Lazio now look to a Coppa Italia rematch in Rome on Thursday.
