Isaksen’s First-Half Goal Lifts Lazio Over AC Milan in Serie A Opener
ROMA (Interstat) — Gustav Isaksen’s 26th-minute goal gave Lazio a 1-0 victory over AC Milan in a Serie A match Sunday at Stadio Olimpico.
The decisive play involved multiple contributors. Substitute Pervis Estupiñán, who later received a yellow card, provided the assist alongside defender Nuno Tavares. Goalkeeper Edoardo Motta also recorded an assist on the sequence before being booked himself.
The result defied the pregame projection from Interstat, whose simulator had forecast a 1-1 draw. Its ELO system, however, gave Lazio a high probability to win.
The match, played March 15, 2026, marked the opening of the Italian league season. With the win, Lazio begins its campaign 1-0-0, while AC Milan starts 0-1-0.
