ROME, Sept 12 (Reuters) - Substitute DiegoMoreira grabbed ⁠two goals in as many minutes to allow AC Milan to fight their ⁠way back and hold hosts Lazio to a 2-2 draw at the Olympic ‌Stadium in Serie A on Saturday.

The point was enough to see Lazio go top of the standings on 10 points from four games, but they ceded their winning start to the season as Milan’s halftime changes paid dividends.

Milan ​have two wins and two draws from their opening ⁠four fixtures and moved up one place ⁠to fourth with eight points.

Lazio played again with a half-empty stadium as their ultras continued ⁠a ‌long-running boycott of matches in a protest directed at club president Claudio Lotito, but there was plenty for the travelling fans to savour as Milan could have snatched ⁠all three points.

Matteo Cancellieri had the home side in front ​after 10 minutes, getting ahead ‌of Milan fullback Pervis Estupinan to knock home Mattia Zaccagni’s ball across the ⁠face of goal.

A ​cross from the left by Kenneth Taylor set up Lazio’s second for his Dutch compatriot Tijjani Noslin six minutes before the break.

Noslin’s initial effort saw him slide the ball against the woodwork and he ⁠was on his knees when he headed home the rebound, ​although replays suggested there was help from Milan defenderKoni De Winter’s botched efforts to clear.

Milan coach Ruben Amorim made three halftime changes and they helped to slowly turn the tide, withMoreira’s first ⁠goal coming from a sudden counter-attack in the 65th minute.

The Belgian international, signed from RC Strasbourg at the start of the campaign, hit a rasping full volley from a tight angle at the back post to convert fellow substitute Christian Pulisic’s cross.

He then hit another left-footed effort ​from the edge of the area into the back of ⁠the net, having been teed up by Adrien Rabiot, as Milan took control of proceedings.

But in ​the end, they failed to find a winner.

Earlier, hosts Genoa, ‌who have yet to win this season, were ​held 1-1 by newly promoted Frosinone, who have seven points. Later, Atalanta are at home to Cagliari.

罗马，9 月 12 日（路透社）——替补球员迭戈·莫雷拉在短短两分钟内连入两球，帮助 AC 米兰在周六的意甲联赛中，在奥林匹克体育场与主场作战的拉齐奥队战成 2-2 平局。

凭借这一分，拉齐奥四战积10分，登上积分榜榜首，但他们也失去了赛季开局的连胜，米兰在中场休息时的换人取得了成效。

米兰在前四场比赛中取得两胜两平的战绩，排名上升一位至第四，积8分。

拉齐奥再次在半空的球场进行比赛，他们的极端球迷继续长期抵制比赛，以抗议俱乐部主席克劳迪奥·洛蒂托，但对于远道而来的球迷来说，也有很多值得享受的地方，因为米兰本有机会拿下全部三分。

比赛进行到第 10 分钟，马特奥·坎切列里为米兰取得领先，他抢在米兰后卫佩尔维斯·埃斯图皮尼安之前，将马蒂亚·扎卡尼横传到球门前的球打入球门。

肯尼斯·泰勒从左路传中，助攻他的荷兰同胞蒂贾尼·诺斯林在半场结束前六分钟打入拉齐奥的第二个进球。

诺斯林的第一次尝试是将球滑到门框上，然后他跪倒在地头球补射入网，尽管回放显示米兰后卫科尼·德温特的解围失误也帮了他一把。

米兰主教练鲁本·阿莫林在中场休息时进行了三次换人，这帮助球队逐渐扭转了局势，莫雷拉的第一个进球来自第 65 分钟的一次突然反击。

这位比利时国脚在本赛季初从斯特拉斯堡加盟，他在后点小角度凌空抽射，将替补上场的克里斯蒂安·普利西奇的传中转化为进球。

随后，他接阿德里安·拉比奥的传球，在禁区边缘用左脚将球送入网窝，米兰掌控了比赛。

但最终，他们还是没能选出获胜者。

早些时候，本赛季至今未尝胜绩的热那亚主场1-1战平了升班马弗罗西诺内，后者目前积7分。稍后，亚特兰大将在主场迎战卡利亚里。
