Lazio, 3 matches without success in Serie A – Rezvan Marin scored his first goal for Empoli

Lazio completely controlled the dispute with Empoli, but despite all this, the squad coached by Maurizio Sarri managed only a draw.

After two minutes, Brazilian Felipe Anderson opened the scoring, and before the break, Empoli did not make a single shot on goal.

In the 54th minute, Mattia Zaccagni made the score 2:0, and the hosts were almost sure of their 3 points.

A nightmare finish followed for Lazio, conceding in the 83rd minute when veteran Francesco Caputo closed the gap.

The visitors won in extra time (min. 90+3) when Rezvan Marin scored his first goal for Empoli with a superb strike.
