Lazio 0-0 AC Milan: Stalemate in Coppa Italia semi-final
Tuesday 26 February 2019 23:03, UK
Lazio and AC Milan played out a turgid 0-0 draw in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final.
Both sides failed to create any clear-cut chances at the Olympic Stadium on Tuesday but last season's runners-up Milan will hope to make home advantage count in the April 24 decider.
Lazio dominated the first half but had little to show for their possession. The best opportunity fell to striker Ciro Immobile, who fired wide from 14 metres after the visiting defence failed to clear their ranks.
Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma easily smothered Sergej Milinkovic Savic's long-range shot in the 66th minute, before a late offside flag infuriated Milan's players, although Immobile hit the woodwork.
Milan packed their defence throughout the contest and held on comfortably in the closing stages as Lazio's efforts to pour forward proved in vain.
Fiorentina are at home to Atalanta in the first leg of the second semi-final on Wednesday.
