Mattia Zaccagni’s late header propelled Lazio into the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, with a 1-0 victory over AC Milan. The goal, scored in the 80th minute from a Nuno Tavares corner, was the difference in a closely fought contest.
Despite chances for both sides, including a missed opportunity by Rafael Leao, it was Zaccagni’s aerial prowess that ultimately decided the tie, offering a measure of revenge for Lazio’s recent league defeat.
