Lazio wasted a two-goal lead against Milan, who rallied back in the second half to rescue a draw at the Stadio Olimpico.
Matteo Cancellieri opened the scoring early on, while Tijjani Noslin ensured the Biancocelesti headed to the interval with a deserved two-goal lead. However, the momentum changed after the break, and Diego Moreira's introduction proved decisive. The Belgian scored twice between the 65th and 67th minutes to restore parity.
So, here are our player ratings for Lazio, who temporarily sit at the top of the Serie A table after picking up a solitary point against Milan.
Christos Mandas – 6
A mixed bag from the Greek, who made solid saves to deny Samuel Chukwueze and Christian Pulisic in particular, but allowed Moreira's shot to go between his legs on Milan's first goal. His poor distribution repeatedly cost Lazio possession, at times in dangerous areas.

AC Milan travel to the Stadio Olimpico to open their Serie A season against Torino on Sunday.
The Rossoneri arrive with mixed but exciting form heading into Rúben Amorim's first competitive match in charge. They ended pre-season on a high with a 4-2 win over Manchester United, though that result came after a heavy 3-0 loss to Chelsea. Milan's end to last season was inconsistent — they lost seven of their final 13 league games — so making a statement in the opener is a priority.
Amorim starts his 2026/27 campaign with some selection problems. Star winger Rafael Leão is out with a recent muscle strain, and forward Santi Giménez is sidelined by an ankle sprain.
Still, club-record signing Gonçalo Ramos is fit and expected to lead the line. New summer signing Mario Gila is available to make his competitive debut, likely joining Strahinja Pavlović in Amorim's preferred three-man defence.
Samuel Chukwueze looks set to keep his energetic pre-season role as a right wing-back, while veteran Luka Modrić will bring experience and control through midfield as Milan chase a convincing start.

Manchester United suffered a disappointing end to their pre-season campaign as Ruben Amorim's AC AC Milan came from behind twice to secure a 4-2 victory in Wroclaw.
Michael Carrick's side made a flying start, taking the lead inside two minutes. Bruno Fernandes delivered a corner into the box and Harry Maguire rose highest to head United in front.
The Italian side gradually found their rhythm and were rewarded before the break when Samuel Chukwueze finished from close range after United failed to deal with a dangerous move. Fernandes then had the opportunity to restore United's advantage from the penalty spot, but Lorenzo Torriani produced an excellent save.
United regained the lead shortly after half-time, with Patrick Dorgu finding the net. However, the advantage quickly disappeared as Alphadjo Cisse levelled for the Italian side.
Ruben Amorim's side then turned the match around in a decisive spell. Goncalo Ramos headed them in front after Chukwueze created another opening, before former Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek added a fourth just three minutes later.

A soft Christopher Nkunku penalty cancelled out the Federico Dimarco opener, as Inter and Milan drew 1-1 in a pre-season friendly in Perth.
There were several initiatives before kick-off to remember iconic Rossoneri captain Franco Baresi, including a minute's silence with all the players united around his jersey, and the Milan players wearing his Number 6 shirt. Play also halted at the sixth minute for a further moment of remembrance.

Francesco Camarda and Davide Bartesaghi both somehow failed to get the crucial touch on a Samuel Chukwueze cross at the back post, then Yunus Musah fired into the upright of a practically open goal on the Ruben Loftus-Cheek pull-back.
Francesco Pio Esposito's acrobatic volley forced a tricky save, as did Piotr Zielinski's flick from 12 yards.

Genoa v AC Milan, the final away game of the season. At Marassi, home to the Luigi Ferraris Stadium (named after a former Genoa player), the Rossoneri head into the end of their campaign aiming for a win against the Rossoblù. Recent encounters have proved favourable for us, with a record of six wins from the last seven trips to Genoa. One of the most memorable was on 7 October 2023, when the Rossoneri won thanks to a goal from Pulisic, before a dramatic finale that saw Olivier Giroud step in as goalkeeper.
In front of around 33,000 spectators, Pioli's Rossoneri went into action just days after a goalless away game in Dortmund against BVB. In the league, they had shown promising form, and they were on their way to a fourth straight win and a seventh victory from their first eight matches. There were several changes to the Rossoneri lineup, with the attacking trio Chukwueze, Jović, and Okafor starting. The match was close and hard-fought, with Gilardino's Genoa defending well and posing a serious attacking threat. The chances came in the final 30 minutes. Leão's header hit the crossbar, and Maignan produced a spectacular save to deny a deflected left-footed effort from Drăgușin. The final minutes turned into a frantic end to the match with everything still possible. In the 87th minute, Pulisic found a cross sent in by Musah and sent it to the back of the net to give the Rossoneri the lead. The goal was given after a VAR review by referee Piccinini.
In the 96th minute, Maignan came off his line and went into a challenge with Ekuban on the edge of the box. Following a VAR review, referee Piccinini showed our goalkeeper a straight red for a serious foul. With all substitutions already used up, Giroud went in goal. In the 102nd minute, after five minutes of stoppage time, the free kick was taken: Tomori deflected Guðmundsson's shot onto the crossbar. Then just a minute later, the Genoa goalkeeper, Josep Martinez, was also sent off for a second yellow after a foul on Musah inside the Rossoneri penalty area. In the 104th minute, Giroud stepped up with a heroic save, rushing out bravely to deny Pușcaș's attempt at goal. A dramatic finale in an unforgettable encounter.

Fulham have entered the conversation for Crysencio Summerville, and that makes sense on several levels. He is available, he has Premier League pedigree, and West Ham’s relegation has made this one of the more obvious market situations of the summer. According to The Guardian, Fulham have “joined the race to sign Crysencio Summerville from West Ham” and the winger “is expected to move this summer”.
There is wider interest. Chelsea and Manchester United have both been tracking the 24-year-old, which tells you plenty about the player’s talent ceiling. It tells you less about how realistic those moves are. The more credible reading is in the detail, that “a more realistic outcome could be that the firmest interest in the 24-year-old comes from an ambitious team from outside the elite.” Fulham fit that description well enough. They are established, organised, and in need of attacking reinforcements out wide.
The timing is straightforward. Fulham need to refresh their wing options after losing Harry Wilson, who is “poised to join Leeds on a free transfer”. That alone creates a practical opening. There is also uncertainty around Samuel Chukwueze, with it “unclear if Fulham, who are expected to appoint Álvaro Arbeloa as their new manager, trigger an option to make Samuel Chukwueze’s loan from Milan permanent.” Put those two points together and a winger moves from luxury to requirement.
Summerville offers directness, goals and top-flight experience. He also arrives with a fairly mixed file, which is exactly why this sort of transfer becomes available to clubs like Fulham rather than being wrapped up immediately by the richest sides. He was “one of West Ham’s best players last season” and his form after Christmas was significant, “scoring seven goals in 10 games to lift West Ham’s hopes of avoiding the drop.” That is a serious spell of production in a bad team.
He also had a notable tournament with the Netherlands, “scoring two goals in four games” at the World Cup. Those numbers matter because they reinforce that he can impact games beyond one system or one club environment.
