Milan and Lazio share points as Serie A kicks off

ROME, Sept 9 (Reuters) - The delayed Serie A season finally kicked off on Friday as champions AC Milan and Lazio shared four first half goals in an exciting 2-2 draw at the San Siro.

Lazio were first to get off the blocks as new strike force Miroslav Klose and Djibril Cisse wasted little time in opening their Serie A accounts with a left-foot strike and header, respectively, to put the visitors 2-0 up inside 21 minutes.

But the Rossoneri’s own forwards clicked soon after as Zlatan Ibrahimovic tapped in and Antonio Cassano scored with a rare header to bring the scores level before halftime.

Napoli travel to Cesena on Saturday with the remaining fixtures of the delayed season kickoff played on Sunday.
