May 06, (THEWILL) – Milan strengthened their bid for a top-four finish in Serie A with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Lazio at San Siro.
Stefano Pioli’s side dominated from the start, capitalising on a Lazio error to open the scoring through Ismael Bennacer. Theo Hernandez doubled their advantage before half-time with a brilliant individual goal.
However, Milan’s win was dampened by the early exit of Rafael Leao due to a suspected groin injury. The Rossoneri, who rested several players in their previous match, made light of Leao’s absence and continued to control the game, with Lazio failing to register a single shot on target.
Milan’s attention now turns to their crucial Champions League semi-final first-leg clash against city rivals Inter, while Lazio will look to bounce back when they face Lecce on Friday.
