In a Serie A Matchday 4 clash, Milan managed to avoid defeat against Lazio in a game that ended 2-2. The standout performer was 22-year-old Belgian midfielder Diego Moreira, who came on as a substitute after the break and scored a double in just three minutes, earning his side a point. Before his introduction, the visitors were trailing 0-2, which made the rescue of a point truly dramatic. ### Match flow: Lazio take a 2-0 lead Gennaro Gattuso's side moved ahead quickly: by the 10th minute, Matteo Cancellieri finished off an accurate pass from Zaccagni into the far corner. In that sequence, Milan's defense completely broke down — the striker was left unmarked in front of goal. Lazio's second goal came shortly before the break: Tidjani Noslin found himself on the goal line, finishing off another delivery into the box. His shot was partially parried by Maignan, the ball rebounded off the crossbar, but no one stopped Noslin from tapping in the rebound — 2-0. ### Moreira's three-minute double The turning point was Milan manager Ruben Amorim's decision to make a substitution after the break that had a major impact on the game: Diego Moreira replaced Estupinan. It was this player who became the match's hero — within three minutes he scored twice to level the score. Milan failed to press their advantage, just as Lazio could not recover from the double blow, and the teams ultimately shared the points. Both goals marked the Belgian's first in the Italian giant's shirt. ### The Belgian's transfer history Moreira joined Milan less than a month ago. Previously he played for French side Strasbourg, was a product of the Belgian club Standard's academy, and moved to Benfica in 2020. After three seasons in Lisbon, the player joined Chelsea, but he failed to establish himself at Stamford Bridge and was constantly sent out on loan: first to Lyon, then to Strasbourg, who eventually bought his contract for €8.5 million. Milan paid €50 million for Moreira's transfer. ### Manager's reaction After the match, Milan's manager Ruben Amorim did not hide his dissatisfaction with the first half, stating that his team had been "outright terrible" in the first 45 minutes. Nevertheless, the result of two points and the new signing's double served as a consolation for the club in a tough match against Lazio. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Moreira the joker: Milan dramatically escapes defeat against Lazio](https://sport.rbc.ua/ukr/football/dzhoker-moreyra-milan-feerichno-vryatuvavsya-1789244022.html) - Базовый текст: счет 2:2, дубль Морейры за три минуты, авторы голов «Лацио» (Канчеллери, Нослин), трансферная история и сумма 50 млн евро. - [Lazio vs. Milan, match result of September 12, 2026, score 2-2, Serie A 2026/2027 Matchday 4](https://www.championat.com/football/news-6618060-lacio-milan-rezultat-matcha-12-sentyabrya-2026-schet-2-2-4-j-tur-serii-a-2026-2027.html) - Подтверждает дату (12 сентября 2026), тур (4-й) и итоговый счет 2:2. - [Moreira's double saves Milan from defeat against Lazio](https://www.livesport.ru/football/2026/09/12/lazio-milan/) - Подтверждает дубль Морейры как ключевой фактор спасения «Милана». - [Ruben AMORIM: "Milan was outright terrible in the first half"](https://sport.ua/news/906769-ruben-amorim-v-pervom-tayme-milan-byl-otkrovenno-uzhasnym) - Подтверждает роль Аморима как тренера «Милана» и его цитату о первом тайме. ## ❓ FAQ ### Q: What was the final score of the Lazio vs. Milan match? **A:** The Serie A Matchday 4 match ended in a 2-2 draw. ### Q: Who scored the double for Milan? **A:** The double was scored by 22-year-old Belgian midfielder Diego Moreira, who came on as a substitute after the break and netted two goals in three minutes. ### Q: How much did Milan pay for Moreira? **A:** Milan paid €50 million for Moreira's transfer, signing him from French club Strasbourg.
