Rivaldo completed an incredible comeback to catch Lazio at the San Siro as
the title race remains wide open.
Milan could catch Inter and Juventus at the top of the table with a win,
while Lazio would remain as dark horses for the Scudetto.
Alessandro Costacurta stepped in for the suspended Paolo Maldini, while they
experimented a 4-2-3-1 formation with Andriy Shevchenko as the lone striker.
Manuel Rui Costa and Pippo Inzaghi were rested.
Sinisa Mihajlovic also made his comeback two months after suffering a thigh
strain. Lazio are unbeaten away this season and Milan have not yielded at
home, so this was bound to be an intriguing and open match.
Both sides had an aggressive start and after just four minutes Claudio Lopez
curled inches over the bar on the counter-attack.
Shevchenko has a long history of scoring against the Biancocelesti and
dribbled past three defenders before Angelo Peruzzi blocked his shot by the
near post.
Lazio were particularly dangerous on the break and opened the scoring on 21
minutes. Dida managed to parry a close-range Claudio Lopez effort, but could
do nothing on the Dejan Stankovic follow-up into the roof of the net.
Roberto Mancini's men became increasingly confident and put them under
pressure all over the pitch.
Milan tried to fight back and Shevchenko nodded a Dario Simic centre over
the bar, but moments later referee Pierluigi Collina pointed to the spot.
Bernardo Corradi fell under a challenge from Alessandro Nesta, though the
foul was not particularly clear. Claudio Lopez converted to double Lazio's
lead.
The Rossoneri kept coming forward and Massimo Ambrosini's header went just
wide, but that left Lazio even more space for their counter-attacks and
Dario Simic made a decisive challenge on Lopez.
Shevchenko set up a great chance for Rivaldo before the break, but it was
not on his favoured left foot and the Brazilian failed to make the most of
it.
Carlo Ancelotti had to make changes and introduced Inzaghi and Martin Laursen
for Gennaro Gattuso and the injured Kakha Kaladze.
They were immediately more aggressive and Peruzzi only turned out Inzaghi's
low drive with his feet.
The opening minutes were a siege on the Lazio goal, but Rivaldo and Seedorf
failed to get the final ball on target.
On 56 minutes a delicate Pirlo cross merely skimmed Shevchenko's forehead
from less than a metre out of the goal.
There was controversy soon after as Ambrosini fell under a Mihajlovic
challenge in the box and the two had to be separated as the midfielder
demanded a spot-kick.
They finally broke through on 62 minutes. Rivaldo ducked on Seedorf's pass
over the defence and Inzaghi rolled his body around Giuseppe Favalli to slot
home.
Moments later Stankovic rattled the crossbar with a piledriver from 30
metres.
Milan had another two chances to score but Simic saw his shot blocked by
bodies, while Ambrosini and Rivaldo drilled wide from distance.
The draw was coming and Inzaghi stole the ball in midfield, charged up the
left flank and found the unmarked Rivaldo to sweep home in the centre.
Lazio famously lost a 3-0 lead to Inter earlier this season, ending in a 3-3
draw, and the shadows of that game came back to haunt them.
The Rossoneri kept on pushing, but in the same move Shevchenko just failed
to turn in twice.
Lazio remained dangerous on the counter-attack and Dida needed two attempts
to block Cesar's effort.
Stankovic injured himself during a wayward shot from distance and made way
for Fabio Liverani.
In the final minute of normal play Rivaldo's angled drive shaved the far
post, but Lazio also went close and it was open to any result.
Into stoppages and the siege continued with Shevchenko, Rivaldo and Inzaghi
efforts charged down from close range.
