Serie A is back after the international break – and with the best teams in Italy. However, <a href="https://time.news/milan-overtakes-lecce-at-the-san-siro-and-keeps-his-dream-alive-in-the-italian/" title="Milan overtakes Lecce at the San Siro and keeps his dream alive in the Italian”>Juventus and Milan did not offer their fans a goal feast on Saturday. Instead, the motto was: achieve success with little effort.

Juventus Turin won at their Allianz Stadium for the first time in two months. Lazio was the guest on Saturday. The visitors also started better, but the game took a turn in the 24th minute. Defense chief Alessio Romagnoli received a red card after bringing down Pierre Kalulu with an emergency stop.
As a result, the Turin team was clearly the better team. Thiago Motta’s team threw everything into the tie, but were unable to score a goal – until the 85th minute. Unfortunately Lazio defender Mario Gila directed a cross from Juan Cabal into his own goal. In the table, Juventus is level with leaders Napoli. The Campania only play against Empoli on Sunday.
One goal is also enough for Milan
Milan offered no spectacles to the spectators – quite the opposite: the red and black fans were put to the test as they had to shake for over an hour. The reason? Red card against Tijjani Reijnders in the 29th minute. But right from the start: The game started exactly as Milan wanted, with Samuel Chukwueze scoring a dream goal early on to make it 1-0 (13th).
After the aforementioned red card, the guests from Udine came stronger and stronger. Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan was bombarded with shots several times, but the Milan bulwark held firm. But the shock came in the fifth minute of stoppage time: Christian Kabasele turned the celebrations around after converting a rebound to make it 1-1, apparently. Probably because the VAR asked the referee to come to the monitor and after a long study, the referee decided it was offside. Luckily for Milan, the victory was still deserved.
No winner twice
What else happened in Serie A on Saturday? In addition to the finals, there were also two other games on the schedule, although there was no winner in either of them. Genoa first tied Bologna on a point in a 2-2 draw, then Como and Parma also shared the points.
