The &#8216;Biancocelesti&#8217; will face Bologna in the next round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.besoccer.com\/team\/lazio\">Lazio<\/a>&nbsp;secured their place in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, exacting revenge against Milan after their league defeat last weekend. The decisive moment came from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.besoccer.com\/player\/mattia-zaccagni-218354\">Mattia Zaccagni<\/a>, who headed home the winning goal, thus eliminating Allegri&#8217;s team from the competition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first half at the&nbsp;<strong>Stadio Olimpico<\/strong>&nbsp;saw Lazio dominate possession while Milan adopted a cautious approach, focusing more on containing than creating. The only two chances of the half fell to the home side: first,&nbsp;<strong>Basic<\/strong>, played through by a clever flick from Mattia Zaccagni, fired a diagonal shot from the edge of the box just past&nbsp;<strong>Maignan&#8217;s<\/strong>&nbsp;post, then&nbsp;<strong>Isaksen<\/strong>, who struck a first-time shot from a corner, but the French goalkeeper produced a great save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second half began with a more proactive&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.besoccer.com\/team\/milan\">Milan<\/a>. A cross from&nbsp;<strong>Estupi\u00f1an<\/strong>&nbsp;on the left found&nbsp;<strong>Loftus-Cheek<\/strong>, whose header went just over the bar. The &#8216;Rossoneri&#8217; had another great opportunity twenty minutes from time: a beautiful soft touch from&nbsp;<strong>Jashari<\/strong>, the ball returned to the center by Estupi\u00f1an, and&nbsp;<strong>Rafa Leao<\/strong>, from close range, incredibly fired over the bar, wasting a golden chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decisive moment came in the 80th minute. From a corner taken by&nbsp;<strong>Tavares<\/strong>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.besoccer.com\/player\/mattia-zaccagni-218354\">Zaccagni<\/a>&nbsp;rose unmarked and headed the ball past Maignan, sending the &#8216;Biancoceleste&#8217; end wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was the goal that secured passage to the next round and revenge for the league defeat, the result of patience and precision from Sarri&#8217;s men. Now, the &#8216;Biancocelesti&#8217; are preparing to face&nbsp;<strong>Bologna<\/strong>&nbsp;in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lazio exact revenge on Milan, advancing to the Coppa It [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1897,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1896","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1896","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1896"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1896\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1898,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1896\/revisions\/1898"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1897"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
