AC Milan 1 - 1 Lazio: Lazio hold on for a point at the San Siro
Posted Monday, March 21, 2016 by PA
Lazio's slim hopes of qualifying for the Europa League all but ended following a 1-1 draw against AC Milan at the San Siro.
Stefano Pioli's men took the lead through Marco Parolo, but the home side were level before the break through Carlos Bacca's strike.
Senad Lulic was sent off for a second booking with six minutes of the game remaining but Lazio held on for their eighth away draw of the season.
The Biancocelesti took the lead after nine minutes when poor defending allowed Parolo to head home from close range, much to the annoyance of Sinisa Mihajlovic who showed his displeasure on the sidelines.
The strength and persistence of Luiz Adriano and Bacca had been hard for the visitors to keep in check and the pair combined just six minutes later to equalise.
Lazio were forced to play the closing stages with 10 men as Lulic was dismissed after clipping Keisuke Honda, leaving the referee with no choice but to give him his marching orders.
Milan piled forward, desperate to make the most of their man advantage, but could not make the most of a flurry of late attacks.
The result sees Milan in sixth, seven points behind rivals Inter Milan who sit in the last Europa League spot.
