Lazio, an important win against Roma

The team coached by Maurizio Sarri controlled the ball in the first half and had the best chances to open the scoring.

Roma were outnumbered in the 32nd minute after Roger Ibáñez picked up his second yellow card.

In the second half, Lazio dominated the game and finally managed to open Mattia Dzaccagni’s account (min. 65). The Italian scored from a pass from Felipe Anderson.

In the 68th minute, the guests equalized, but the goal was disallowed due to offside.

The final score is 1:0, and the fight for places in the Champions League is getting more and more interesting.
