God Zlatan returned to the pitch and downed Lazio at almost 40

The third round of the Italian Serie A pitted AC Milan and Lazio Rome against each other. AC Milan won 2: 0, with Rafael Leao and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who returned to the pitch after a long injury.

In the previous two rounds, both teams were 100 percent. Lazio’s top scorer Ciro Immobile also travelled to San Siro, scoring 4 goals in two games. The home side were missing top scorer Olivier Giroud, who joined from Chelsea in the summer.

The home team clearly dominated the first half. Rafael Leao scored in the 45th minute. The home side could have increased their lead in the first half. Frank Kessié was fouled in the penalty area and took the ball himself and placed it on the penalty spot. However, he only hit the crossbar from the penalty spot.

The first half ended 1: 0. The home side controlled the game in the second half. In the 60th minute the spectators saw an interesting moment. It wasn’t a scoring chance, but a substitution.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who had returned from a four-month injury, was on the pitch. He was joined by Tiemoué Bakayoko, AC Milan’s new signing from Chelsea.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic played 7 minutes and the crowd could start cheering. In the 67th minute he put his name on the scoresheet. God returned to the pitch and immediately scored. And in less than three weeks, he’ll be an incredible 40 years old.

So the match between AC Milan and Lazio Rome ended 2-0. AC Milan remain 100% in the league and are second in Serie A, with Napoli third and AS Roma first. The standings here are decided by the score. Lazio are in 6th place.

Both teams will now have a little break from the domestic league as they will be playing in the European Cups this week. AC Milan will challenge Liverpool in the Champions League on Wednesday, while Lazio will face Galatasaray in the Europa League on Thursday.
