Pedro at the end of the first half gives the advantage to Lazio

Very dynamic game from the first minutes. Verona confirms its aggressive man-on-man attitude, while Lazio immediately tries to impose their game. The first thrill comes from the feet of Milinkovic at 10′. The Sergeant earns the foul and then fires a right foot that comes off just a little. Sarri’s team takes courage and closes the hosts in their own half with quality phrasing, but the flash comes from the latter. at 19′ Fatigue he sets up on his own and kicks with his left foot, putting him in difficulty Provedelbut on the rebuttal Doig waste on a high shot. Speaking of waste, eight minutes later it’s time to Immobile. Spicata by Milinkovic on which the captain is left alone guilty, but in front of Montiport shoots out left-handed the big chance. In the 38th minute it was Provedel who outdid Depaoli, while in the 43rd minute Pedro start aiming.

Despite the goal conceded at the end of the first half, the Gialloblù returned full and in the 51st minute they equalized. Punishment of Lazovic and perfect insertion of Fatigue who heads 1-1. Lazio’s defense was too passive, which two minutes later trembled on Lazovic’s right-footed shot that hit the post.

As often happens to him, Sarri’s team suffers at the start of the second half, so the coach focuses on the physicality of Neighbor in midfield in place of Cataldi.
