AC Milan draw with Lazio in 1st leg of Coppa Italia semi-final


Milan (Italy), Feb 1 (IANS): AC Milan and Lazio ended 0-0 here in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final, leaving everything to be decided in next month's second leg at Rome's Olympic stadium.

The respective goalkeepers, Gianluigi Donnarumma for the hosts and Tomas Strakosha for Lazio, were the protagonists at the San Siro here on Wednesday, reports Efe.

Lazio had the only chance in a first half marked by defence, on a header by Lucas Leiva that Milan's Fabio Borini diverted for a corner.

Both teams were more positive after the re-start, but the Roman side had the edge and it took a great save by Donnarumma to keep Ciro Immobile from putting Lazio ahead in the 60th minute.

The home team's best opportunity came in the 75th minute on a powerful header by Patrick Cutrone. While Strakosha made the stop, the rebound went to Milan's Hakan Calhanoglu, whose shot sailed over the cross-bar.
