27 February 2019ROME, Feb 27 — AC Milan held Lazio to a 0-0 draw in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final in Rome yesterday as the home side wasted numerous chances.
After a poor opening quarter of an hour as both teams failed to assert any control, the ball broke to Lucas Paqueta in the home side's box. The capital city side dominated the remainder of the first half with plenty of chances which they should have taken. Serbian Milinkovic-Savic finally had a shot on target on 66 minutes as his deflected effort forced Donnarumma to dive to his left.He found himself in space one-on-one against youngster Donnarumma, but his audacious attempted chip hit the post and rolled out for a goal kick.
